How to get Aluminum.

[Sh4d0wD3m0n]

I've been trying so hard to get Aluminum for my chemistry station, and weapon mods, but i don't know what items give Aluminum when scrapped

[Eriskumma]

Go to Pleasant Valley, ski resort and raider camp next to station have tons of ski poles, each gives 2 aluminium.

Note the item list. There are some things here that yield aluminum, that you might not expect.

events where there are mole miners and scrapping the loot

surgical trays at asylum, just drop all the rubber you get off them.

Aluminum is everywhere in this game I was actually surprised how common it is. Tons at morgontown airport triage.

1) Mine nodes
2) Around the top of the world
3) Follow the Ski Lifts (I guess they are called ski lifts) from of top of the world one lift is still partially connected
4) Travel east of the water treatment plant, you will find a truck on the road that was falling ski supplies (a lot of ski poles)

Sorry not going to go into detail, like everyone else posted it's all over, but this site should also help, just enter what you're looking for.

You can also "tag" specific components for searching. You can tag components that you have, from your inventory, or you can tag a missing component, from the crafting menu.

For the inventory method, you first need to have the item in your Junk inventory. So for aluminum, you have to have at least one item which contains aluminum in your inventory. Here's[fallout.fandom.com] a list of items that contain alumnium from the wiki. So from that list, if you had a junk alarm clock in your inventory, then you can;

Go into your Pip Boy inventory, to the Junk menu, and then switch to "Component View".

You'll then see a list of components for the junk items in your inventory. Aluminum will be listed because it's a part of the alarm clock in your inventory.

You can then scroll down and select the component and "tag" it. Which means whenever you're looking at an item in the world, if the item has a component you've tagged, you'll see a "magnifying glass" indicator.

This Youtube video demonstrates both kinds of tagging.

Good Luck..

If you use the perk card "scrapper" (1 star), you can get aluminium from some armour and weapons. TV dinner trays, surgical trays, canisters, coffee tin are some items that contain aluminum. You may find aluminium scraps from various robots and boss enemies such as mirelurk king, hermit crab van, etc may drop them also (usually chemicals). Certain events and dailies payout in various scraps as well. You may find ore deposits which will require you to smelt them further with a chemistry bench. Ash heap mining and maps sold in the ash heap (miner, prospector, excavator) offer you opportunity to dig for salvage and material. You may also participate in the plunder mine event which pays out in tokens and can be used to by mining hauls from a dispensor.

Some key areas to look are: mechanic sheds, kitchens in homes and diners, factory shelves. Locations include red rocket mega stop, dyer chemical, any nuclear power plant, bunkers.

Buy a bulk-scrap it then Bulk it......

[Etny2k]

If you have an ally at your camp a vendor comes around once in a while and sells a ammo scrap it might have aluminum in it.

First of all, use the "tag for search" function.

The most abundant sources for aluminium are aluminium cans, TV dinner trays, surgical trays, toy rockets and wind chimes.

As long as they got their answer, it doesn't really matter.

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

Yep, Beer was never the same when they stated to put it in Aluminium cans.
