notice any mistakes in my guide? any of the magazine numbers mislabeled? need a better location description? leave a comment and I will try to correct it.

this guide was created using whoever I stole the original image file from, as well as http://fallout4map.com/

perhaps one of the most helpful ways to track down perk magazines you don't have would be to download the "glowing stuff" mod from the fallout 4 nexus. this makes the magazines and bobbleheads much easier to see. still, keep in mind that some of the magazines can be very easy to miss, even if you know what to look for. I used the "purple glow" mod and still almost missed some magazines because they were in very well lit areas.

if you already have some of the magazines and aren't sure which ones to look for, I numbered them on the map. these numbers should hopefully correspond with the numbering system in the perk list on your pipboy (on your stats tab, to the right, NOT the perk chart).

yellow dots are perk magazines. the abbreviated names will have a line drawn to their general location, but check under the image file for more detailed descriptions (work in progress).

locations with a star mark are bobblehead locations. the map note will also be listed with "(bh)" most of the time.

red locations are settlements, green locations are general map locations, purple locations are vaults.

the blue dots are holotapes and misc (fusion cores and stuff). I didn't put those there, so ignore them.

the magazine names are all abbreviated.
