Fallout 4 Magazines Guide - What Do They Give You?

Whether you’re starting out, or a veteran of the wasteland, this Fallout 4 Magazines guide will help you figure out which ones to look out for!

Fallout 4 has been out a hot minute. The 2015 title is Bethesda’s latest single-player entry into the ever-popular series. Fallout 76 may not have stuck the landing, but that doesn’t take away from Fallout 4’s improvements on Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. One of these improvements was the perks system implemented throughout the game. Another great addition is the collectible magazines that are hidden throughout the wasteland.

These collectables aren’t just to look at, though. They also offer your character bonus statistics. Below, we have listed every magazine that appears throughout Fallout 4 and what effects they have. The format will be the following:
