How to unlock the LITerally achievement in Fallout 76 - Definitive Guide

Found this amazing guide, each run takes about 3-5 mins based on your perks/speed.

Great guide, the spawn rate seems pretty low. I was averaging 1-2 magazines each run, but a quick and easy route. I already had quite a few from previous exploring so id advise people to go for this achievement after they have completed most of the game

Best guide for this, I was getting usually 2-4 on each run.

This path is still really great, you always have at least 1 magazine per run. And btw you don't need to use them for the achievement, you only need to pick them

Typically, the first part of the run yields you the most, like 2 or 3 and you are lucky to find one after. I never found one on either of the beds, or the red cabins. But the podium at the end, spawns them relatively well.

Best guide out there. First couple of times I didn’t get anything but I kept server hopping and eventually they started racking up. It will work just keep trying!

Seems to mostly still be working as of Feb 2021, didn't have much luck with the first 5 locations but the last 4 spawn locations were fairly consistent.

They should retitle this achievement. It's not read 20... You have to pick them up off the ground. I must have spent 1000 caps on magazines trying to get this to pop.

You have to obtain 20 magazines by finding and picking them while exploring. Buying a magazine or getting one from a npc or player won't count. I had way more than 20 when the achievement popped. You just need to pick them, i didn't use a single one.
A good place to find some is the ski resort close to the "Top of the World". Found about 4 or 5 there.

I am completely amazed that I haven’t gotten this yet… I played for over 400 hours on Xbox since I moved over from ps4 and there’s no way in hell I haven’t picked up 20 magazines yet, but who knows… sucks being at 64/66 achievements and not knowing if I’ll ever get this one!

Update: Tried on 2/1 to get 20 magazines and read them all at once and that didn’t work, this could be because 1) you have to have found the magazine yourself, not bought it from another player or 2) it must be 20
completely different magazines you’ve never read before!

Watch this video, and do what he does.

Every time I reloaded into the world after quitting, it was there.
- (others have noted not having the same success rate probably due to others doing the same thing or it was previously taken in that server you have joined)

Took 20 mins just because of the loading times.

Also, I did not move my camp (saving caps for other achievement). I just used the fast travel spawn location with a custom marker and ran there every time.

This and the bobblehead one dont seem to register or track at all right now. I saved up the correct number of both and activated them with no payoff

THANK YOU! I've been doing almost nothing but discovering locations to find magazines. This worked like a charm. Like you said, about 20 min. +1!!! smile

Thank you for posting the solution. Location and method worked for me but did not have the 100% success rate on the magazine being there each time. Took an additional 6 times for me. Not a deal breaker by any means, just a FYI if people are expecting it to be there 100% of the time. Cheers.

Got 6 magazines and haven't had another spawn in about 20 server refreshes now. So yeah, definitely not 100%. It could be because others are getting there before me in the server each time?

I added the change of success rates for your experience but yea since they are live serves others are probably doing the exact same or it was just rtaken/not spawned earlier in that server. sorry you guys are not having the same level of success as I had.

It's alright, I'm currently using the same method for the magazine in Appalachian Antiques and that's spawning decently enough. Still not 100%, but the one at Twin Lakes wasn't spawning at all for me after those first 6.

EDIT: Also interesting to note the Appalachian Antiques location spawns different magazines. I've had different issues of Astoundingly Awesome Tales, Tesla Science, and the U.S. Covert Operations Manual spawn here so maybe go here if you want more variety and not the same magazine 20 times?

Do you actually have to read them or just pick up 20 mags? Because the video makes it look like you don't even have to consume the mag, just find 20 mags?

this popped for me before i read the final one so i suggest its for picking them up? also i just left my camp there and every time i loaded in i checked the spot, rather than grinding it in one go.

This will always work unless they move the spawn locations. So, no need for people to really be all, 'This still works as of xxx date.'

This ISNT patched. It has the chance to spawn: Food, Nuka Cola, OR/AND a Magazine. Its just Extremely uncommon now I've gotten about 17 from this spot

@Vandel Buster Well they moved the spawns because I just found this location and it is a box of snack cakes instead of a magazine. So I am all like 'This no longer works as of right now'. Unless it has a chance to spawn as something other than a magazine.

I'm trying right now, it worked 4 times but didn't worked 1 time, maybe I was sent back to the same server I just left. I restarted the game when it happened, and it spawned a new magazine.

Update: I ended up on the same server that I visited before, I saw a C.A.M.P from a player that already was there. It may be harder to land on a new server if the game has a smaller pool of players than before.

Update 2: finally done, I visited Twin Lakes and the Pleasant Valley as shown in the other solution (the top one). If I was able to see a new magazine at Twin Lakes, I knew that I was on a new server and I had a chance to grab magazines at Pleasant Valley.

I just unlocked this achievement, and this is where I did mine. It doesn't require any special skills or mutations (the Pannapictagraphist perk does help but is not required), and is a pretty tight server-hopping loop.

In the upper part of the Savage Divide, northeast of ATLAS Observatory, you have the following:

a. Relay Tower LW-B1-22 (Super Mutants; one location - on top of one of the computer cabinets inside)
b. Sylvie & Sons Logging Camp (Hounds; one location - inside the tent on the right from the spawn spot)
c. Sons of Dane Compound (Ghouls and a Wendigo; four locations - two at the guard tower, one in the basement of the building to the right of the tower, and one on the table to the right of the entrance inside the hall at the upper left)

I ran this for about an hour and picked up eight magazines. If you're feeling adventurous and need some Black Titanium too, you can also go up to Hopewell Cave a little to the northeast of these three. There is a dead campfire just inside the entrance on the left with a potential magazine there (I never had one spawn here). But, there is a Deathclaw Matriarch in there too. laugh

Does this achievement only count the ones you pick up yourself, or can you buy from vendors and have those count? Also, is it just picking them up that increases the count or do you actually have to use them?

I'm pretty sure they only count if you pick them up. And yes, just picking them up counts for the total.

Here is a little videoguide showing how to get 2-4 magazines in one go. To the date, these four always respawn in the same place.

Notice that after taking the first magazine, I go behind the cabin and look to a pile of wood logs. Here sometimes lies the second magazine. Take a look just in case there it is if you do this tour.

Notice, the servers are public. If some other player has already taken the magazines, they will not respawn after a long time, so if you dont find them, wait while you do other things (Missions, etc) or exit and re enter in hopefully another server.

I take credit for the video


Edit 1: You dont have to "read" them in order for the trophy to count. Taking them counts towards it. Also, it doesn't count if another player drops or sell them to you.

Magazines (as well as bobbleheads) appear repeatedly throughout the world and will randomly respawn in locations. If you go to find a magazine in a known location and it isn't there then try loading into another world. It could be that it isn't spawning right now in that location or it could be that someone beat you to it recently.

The following magazines are available in the game:

  1. Astonishingly Awesome Tales
  2. Backwoodsman
  3. Grognak the Barbarian
  4. Guns and Bullets
  5. Live and Love
  6. Scout's Life
  7. Tales from the West Virginia Hills
  8. Tesla Science
  9. Tumblers Today
  10. The Unstoppables
  11. U.S. Covert Operations Manual


An easy help to finding magazines is by activating the Pannapictagraphist Perk Card. It is available as a Perception Perk at Level 12 and will give you an audio cue whenever you're near a magazine:

Magazines in Fallout 76 give temporary buffs to your character (as opposed to permanent buffs in the single-player games), and will be consumed upon use. These have a chance to spawn in multiple locations each time you log on, so you could theoretically collect the same one 20 times and use it over and over to unlock the achievement, or just find them randomly as you play and get it over time. All of their possible locations can be found here.

Despite the fact that magazines are difficult to find even with the perk, the trophy is quite simple. Any journals, including identical ones, are taken into account. Therefore, if you find one magazine, just remember the location and exit-enter the game, connect to another server and with a high probability the magazine will be in the same place.
Example: The journal is located in the Twin Lakes location.
Video guide .
We took the magazine, went to the menu, re-entered the server, took the magazine. And so 20 times.
Sometimes you will get to the server without a log, no problem, continue the algorithm. Everything will take 20-40 minutes, depending on luck.

Buying and receiving magazines from other players does not count, you just need to collect them yourself! I didn’t find anything from the video with other tips, so I put the perk in the Perception category, on the magazine detector, and calmly collected it

Gentlemen, attention! Gang camp in Seneca. Here, on the cross next to the corpses of the raiders, there is a magazine, next to it lies a doll, and right there is the power armor of the raiders with a nuclear unit. There's no better place to farm dolls and magazines.
Guarded by 3-4 low level mobs.
