If building settlements is what you fancy, the Picket Fences magazines are a great tool to help bring your designer out in Fallout 4. Picket Fences is a magazine series with multiple issues, each helping in crafting new structures at your settlement workshops.Â
However, embarking on the journey to acquire these magazines can get a little tedious. Here’s how.
All Picket Fences magazine locations in Fallout 4
There are a total of five Picket Fences magazines scattered across the depths of the wasteland in Fallout 4. Acquiring each edition of the magazine unlocks advanced structures for your settlements ranging from the suburban white garden fences to large statues for decoration purposes. And as always in the Wasteland, be prepared for a fight with enemies around these locations—you can even go pick up some fancy Power Armor.
