This is a simple, honest guide for helping you find magazines in Samson. It’s not fully complete yet, but it should give you a solid idea of where to look and how the spawns work.
One important thing right away:
Car magazines don’t always spawn at the same time. Time of day matters, and some locations can spawn different magazines on different days. Also, they have a yellow glow, so keep an eye out.
- Currently found 17/19 car magazines
- Some locations can spawn multiple magazines across different days/times
- Always re-check the same spots at different times (Noon / Night / Evening)
