Tesla Science Magazine Locations – Fallout 4

Last verified: 10 September 2026

Tesla Science magazines are made for energy-weapon builds. Each issue adds 5% to the critical damage dealt by energy weapons, so finding all nine gives a permanent 45% bonus.

The set takes you from ArcJet Systems to the Glowing Sea and several large industrial sites. Use the links below to jump to the issue you still need, then follow the directions or watch the Cavaliers Gaming walkthrough.

9 issues · 5% extra energy-weapon critical damage each · 45% total

Access note: None of the issues is permanently missable. The Mass Fusion copy is easiest to collect after the main story opens the building’s upper floors, while Rocky Cave lies deep inside the Glowing Sea.
