Over the course of the game, you will learn how to craft your own weapons and armor as well as apply mods to them to make them stronger.

As you can see, there are a fair number of items that have screws in them that you can salvage. There are also a good number of locations that you can check to find these items.
Abandoned Waste Dump
One of the best areas to search for screws is the Abandoned Bog Town in the Cranberry Bog. This location is found in the southeastern part of the map along the road next to the highway 65 sign. This area is a workshop that you can claim for easy travel to and from. In this area, go to the top floor of the tallest building. Here, you will find a room with a bunch of desk fans just waiting to be picked up and scrapped.
Fort Defiance
In the mountains next to the Cranberry Bog section of the map, you will find the asylum called Fort Defiance. There isn’t a specific part of this building that you will want to check for items because the whole fort is filled to the brim with various items that contain screws. You will also get a fair amount of steel in this area which is great for crafting weapons.
