How to Collect Dirty Water in Fallout 4
Easy peasy! Just find any body of water like a river or a pond and press the action button (depends on your platform, so it might be 'E' on PC, 'X' on PS4, or 'A' on Xbox). Your character will fill any empty bottles in your inventory with dirty water. Remember, you gotta have those empty bottles first. No bottle, no dirty water collection!
