How to Get Aluminum in Fallout 4

Given Fallout 4 is set in a destroyed, post-apocalyptic environment, ready-made resources are not lying under player's feet throughout their journey. With that said, Sole Survivors will find junk items in almost every location in great quantities.

With the abundance of scrap and junk in the game, players can actually acquire Aluminum in Fallout 4 mainly in the form of various objects, which subsequently need to be scrapped. Alternatively, players can obtain this resource from merchants such as Arturo Rodriguez from Diamond City Market. Here are some of the commonly found items in Fallout 4, along with the amount of Aluminum each object yields.

It is important to note that players cannot get Aluminum from junk from the start of the game. This ability only becomes available after unlocking the Scrapper perk. At the third level of this perk, you will also receive more resources from junk items. If you want to get a lot of Aluminum in Fallout 4, then go to the following places:

Vault 95 - By collecting all the junk items in this location, you can get more than 100 pieces of Aluminum.
Corvega Assembly Plant - More than 100 pieces of Aluminum await you in this location.
Fort Hagen Command Center - The tunnel leading to the western exit contains many pieces of Aluminum.
Institute - The best place to farm Aluminum, as almost every item there is made of this metal.
Mahkra Fishpacking - Another place where players will find a lot of Aluminum junk items.
