How To Track Down The Other Bottle Messages
Time For Some Diving
As can be expected, each of the Bottle Messages can be located on the coast of the Commonwealth but they can clearly be quite easy to overlook given the size of Fallout 4's beaches. Aside from "Predator Becomes Prey," the message discovered by hipSolid7151, others include "Trapped for Days" which can be located behind the crater house just to the northeast of the shore. Those with a sense of maritime exploration can find "Not Going Well" around the lighthouse just south of the Wreck of the FMS Northern Star.
The remaining three Bottle Messages can be slightly trickier to find; "Need a Hand" is found at the southeast point of the Boston Airport peninsula on the beach facing Fort Strong. The fifth message, "Difficult to Kill," is just behind Mahkra Fishpacking, just across the rowboat with the plastic pumpkin. Finally, "X Marks the Spot" can be found on a minuscule sand island to the southeast of Nahant Oceanologica Society.
Fallout 4 may be nearly a decade old but that's not stopping the community from making the most of the experience. Aside from players sharing their stories of discovering items that never knew existed, modders have kept the game alive with a plethora of add-ons that further expand upon the core experience. While there's still no word on when Fallout 5 may arrive, at least the Sole Survivor still has plenty of water left in their well.
