Fallout 4 Player Discovers A Rare Item That Leads To Treasure After Hundreds Of Hours

Summary Even after hundreds of hours, players can still stumble upon hidden treasures in Fallout 4 like the Bottle Messages.

The community continues to discover and share secrets in the game, keeping it alive almost a decade after its release.

Veterans and newcomers alike can enjoy the thrill of uncovering hidden lore and embarking on small quests within the expansive world.

Fallout 4 is a game littered with small discoveries but it's a testament to the design of the world fun items can still be missed after playing for hundreds of hours. Given the game's resurgence in popularity, it stands to reason that newcomers may miss some of the Commonwealth's best-kept secrets. Yet when veterans of the franchise learn about something they may have spent years overlooking, it serves as a fun reminder that Fallout 4 is a genuinely gigantic game that's absolutely packed with content.

Posted to Reddit by MembershipSolid7151, the player shared a clip of themselves discovering one of the "Bottle Message" items that can be found on the coast just behind The Castle.

One of six spread throughout the game, the note inside allows the person who finds it to embark upon a small quest to discover some treasure that's been hidden in an underwater cache. While it's not an essential discovery, it's fun that MembershipSolid7151 has admittedly played the game for hundreds of hours without ever encountering one.

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 MembershipSolid7151, 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.
