Anyone Know An Easy Way To Find Copper and Alluminum

For my one and oly settlement

Lots of aluminum cans in bottling companies, bars. Aluminum trays in cafeterias(schools) and anywhere food was served. AL can also be found at Corvega. Copper is in telephones and lightbulbs, etc. so office buildings and the like.

OK thanks!

Search for a cellar in Sanctuary - there's three copper bars hidden down there, too.

I think those are gold bars.

Get scrapper 1 for copper, then snatch up and dismantle every modified pipe weapon you find. You will overflow. Aluminimumnumium as stated can be found in massive loads in Corvega and most factories. TV Dinner trays can be found with AL all over the place, just don't grab the Cafeteria Trays as they give plastic.

Of note, go to the junk secton of your PipBoy and switch to component view. Then Tag aluminum and copper for Search. This will give them both a little icon in the listing when you find a junk item with them. With Scrapper Rank 2, this will actually make any container (including corpses) glow if they have a junk material you are searching for. It doesn't work with weapons/armor though, just have to learn from experience what mats come from what mods.

Copper most readily comes from destroyed robots, so having Automatron can help. Fuses and Vacuum tubes are good sources.

There you go. Turrets supply fuses and circuit bords.

Grab those surgical trays whenever you can. Each one gives 3 Aluminum and can be found in Vault 95 (20+), Vault 81, any of the hospitals, and especially Mahkra Fishpacking (80+).

For copper, grab anything electrical (lamps, hot plates, fuses, etc), cooking pots, bunsen burners, beaker stands and telephones. All of these are very common and can be found most anywhere, especially the various hospitals and schools.

There's a lot of aluminum trays in that cannery north east of Coastal Cottage. You have to take the elevator down to find them.

Seriously? Every broken light has copper. Every lightbulb, broken or otherwise has copper. Every aluminum can has... aluminum. Also those surgical trays, hubcaps, radiator caps, etc. Both of these things are everywhere.

Try Trashcan Carla. She usually has items for sale that contain copper and aluminium.

Wicked Shipping Fleet Lockup also has some aluminium cans lying around and the junk usually respawns within a day or two.

That very well could be !! I've, erm, modified that particular bolt hole to keep myself sane (i.e. somewhere I don't have to put up with the "Long's" invading my personal space.) and I can't remember exactly what I altered. Obviously my bad. :D

Purchase from the vendors in Diamond City or at other sites.
