You can find a shipment of aluminum in Diamond City. Arturo the weapons vendor sells them. Each shipment has fifty pieces of aluminum.

You can also find a shipment of 25 pieces being sold by Rufus Robins in Goodneighbor.

There are a few great places scattered around the Commonwealth where you can find lots of Aluminum.

  • Mahkra Fishpacking- Over 80 pieces can be found here
  • Corvega Assembly Plant- The aluminum is found both inside and out. Watch out for raiders here

If I'm not working or spending time with the family I'm probably gaming. Some of my favorite recent games I've played are Far Cry 5, World of Warcraft Classic, and 7 Days to Die.
