Fallout 4: holotape locations visual guide

As you wander around the Commonwealth you may come across holotapes. These neat little collectibles contain playable games, and can be loaded up in terminals and your Pip-boy. Most of them are loving tributes or clones of classic arcade titles, so they're a pretty fun time waster, even if they don't seem to provide any gameplay benefits.

Your two main sources of holotapes are RobCo Fun magazines and terminals; you can sometimes eject a tape from recreational terminals, so be sure to look through all the available menu options and watch for the eject prompt.

There are five holotapes to find, and you can get them al pretty early on. We've listed directions below, along with screenshots to help you find them. As with all our guides for this massive game, it's a work in progress, so check back as we update with more locations.

Holotape: Red Menace

The first holotape you can find in Fallout 4 is in Vault 111. It's in the recreation terminal in the kitchen area; fire it up and eject the tape to collect it. If you've just started playing, this room is very close to where you get the security baton and fight your first radroach. You can return later if you miss this.
