Find All Fallout 4 Enclave Encampment Items

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you've stumbled upon the Enclave Encampments in Fallout 4. These aren't part of any main quest, but they pop up after you've finished Echoes of the Past and checked an Enclave CO's Terminal. Once you've done that, you can actually select [Encampment Distribution] on the terminal to get rough locations for three camps. They'll show up on your map as little star icons, just like other military spots. Once they're marked, it's time to go exploring and snag some loot!

Here's a quick rundown of where to find them:

Southern Enclave Encampment: South of Galaxy News Network (aka Gunner's Plaza).
Eastern Enclave Encampment: East of Parsons State Insane Asylum, but closer to Coastal Cottage.
Western Enclave Encampment: Southwest of Dark Hollow Pond.

Western Enclave Encampment

This one's probably the easiest to get to since it's closest to Sanctuary. You'll find it southwest of Dark Hollow Pond, and a bit east of Wildwood Cemetery. Don't expect a huge base; it's mostly just a circle of barricades on a rocky spot. You'll have to deal with about two or three Enclave Soldiers, one of whom will likely be in Power Armor, plus a turret. Once you've cleared them out, you can start looting the Enclave crates. But the real treasure here is the Enclave Entrenchment Manual sitting on a table near the "Enclave Field Operations Terminal." This manual is key – it teaches you how to apply Enclave paint jobs to your Power Armor and lets you build Enclave flags and crates at your settlements.

Eastern Enclave Encampment

This camp is a bit further out, but it's conveniently located southwest of the Coastal Cottage settlement. If you've already got Coastal Cottage set up, it makes a great base for raiding this Enclave spot. Just like the western camp, expect to face about two or three Enclave Soldiers, at least one in Power Armor, and a Laser Turret. After you've taken them down, search near the terminal again. You'll find another Enclave Entrenchment Manual here. This one teaches you how to build Enclave Laser Turrets and Enclave Com Towers at your settlements.

Southern Enclave Encampment

This is the most remote of the three. You'll find it south of the "Galaxy News Network," which most people know as Gunner's Plaza. If you're not keen on spawning right next to a bunch of hostile Gunners, you can also fast travel to Somerville Place (northwest) or Murkwater Construction Site (east, northeast) and make your way from there. This camp is pretty similar to the others. We ran into two Enclave Soldiers in Power Armor and a Laser Turret, but your experience might differ slightly. After you've dealt with the enemies, look near the terminal for your third Enclave Entrenchment Manual. This manual will teach you how to build Enclave barricades at your settlements.

As a little bonus, the Enclave Soldiers at this southern camp had captured a Mirelurk. You can free it using the terminal, but honestly, it's pretty ungrateful, so you might want to skip that part.

With all three manuals in hand, you can now add a distinct Enclave flair to your settlements. If you want the Enclave to stop respawning at these camps, you can disable all the Enclave Communications Towers. However, if you're looking to farm their gear, just leave the towers active.
