Of course, players can spend bottle caps for Fusion Cores at vendors all across the Wasteland, like Arturo in the Diamond City Market, but the map is simply too vast for fans to expect their T-60 gear to hold a charge getting to each in-game retailer. The following list of locations in Fallout 4 shows some of the best spots to scavenge for Fusion Cores.

Updated on November 8, 2021, by Anastasia Maillot: Fallout 4 hasn’t changed much since its initial release in 2015, but fans have become better at tracking down fusion cores. This resource helped to balance out power armors in a healthy way in Fallout 4, but they can still be incredibly annoying to hunt down due to their small size.

Players should look for generators at various locations around the Commonwealth as a general rule of thumb. However, there are also a set few locations that spawn quite a few fusion cores. Below, the top locations for every area in Fallout 4 have been listed out with hints as to where the cores are located exactly.

Commonwealth Fusion Core Locations

The Commonwealth is the regular, main area in Fallout 4 that players can access without having any DLCs downloaded. This area is extremely big, and given its size, there are multiple locations where players can go looking for fusion cores. As such, only areas with more than one fusion core have been featured in the table. At the bottom of the list, a shorter list with easy locations where a single fusion core can be found has been added for players in dire need of just one core.

Easy Locations With Single Fusion Cores In The Commonwealth

These locations are relatively easy to access in the Commonwealth. While they don’t carry an abundance of fusion cores, there’s at least one guaranteed in each of these places.

Far Harbor Fusion Core Locations

The Far Harbor DLC takes the Sole Survivor on a mysterious, misty island off the coast of Boston. There aren’t that many fusion core locations on the island, which is why all locations have been featured in the table below.

Nuka-World Fusion Core Locations

Nuka-World is the final big DLC that Fallout 4 received, and it’s absolutely fantastic for farming a bunch of fusion cores for players favoring a power armor. The Nuka-World junkyard in particular is a great spot to head out to, as it has the most fusion cores in the entire game.

Since there are fewer sub-locations in Nuka-World, all locations with even one fusion core have been featured in the table below.

Fallout 4 was released on November 10, 2015, and is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
