Ruins - Fallout 4 Database

Bradberton, a locale situated in the exterior of Nuka-World, pays homage to John-Caleb Bradberton, the visionary behind Nuka-World’s inception. Initially established in 2060 as a company town, Bradberton served to accommodate Nuka-World employees, offering proximity to their workplace and facilitating shorter commutes. However, the once vibrant town has succumbed to the ravages of time, now haunted by several feral ghouls.

The town’s layout revolves around a central thoroughfare, encompassing a police station, motel, and various public edifices within the central square. Despite the dilapidation, the motel’s limited salvage remains accessible to resourceful scavengers. A small but impassable church adorns the western main road, while a playground graces the southeast corner. Adjacent to the playground lies a modest graveyard, neighbored by a residence featuring a carport and a functional weapons workbench. To the west of the playground stands the decrepit ruins of the Little Nuka Gift Shop, inviting exploration with its operational terminal.

• Rachel’s holotape: Found in a partially collapsed house east of the motel and northeast of the playground, near Rachel Watkins’ remains.
• Nuka-Cola lunchbox: Situated within the same dilapidated house, resting on the kitchen counter.
• Vault-Tec lunchbox: Discovered empty inside a red truck to the northeast.

A peculiar altar within the second house on the left along the southern road houses a pile of glowing embers, adorned with a Chinese officer sword. By interacting with the altar, dubbed “kindling,” the embers erupt into flames, conjuring stimpaks from the ether. Claiming the sword triggers the apparition of additional stimpaks.

• The altar’s design pays homage to the Dark Souls series, where bonfires serve as focal points for restoring the player character’s health, akin to stimpaks in the Fallout universe. The term “kindling” also references a core gameplay mechanic in Dark Souls.

The Dry Rock Gulch employee area, nestled within Nuka-World, offers a secluded retreat surrounded by high walls in the eastern reaches of Dry Rock Gulch. Concealed along the exterior wall of the Gulch behind tall hedges south of the east entrance, this area provides a haven for park staff.

Accessible only after restoring power to the park at the Nuka-World power plant, the employee area comprises five buildings, although only the garage to the east and the workshop to the southeast are accessible. The ground is booby-trapped with scattered fragmentation mines, and the vicinity is teeming with feral ghouls, particularly within the workshop.

The garage accommodates a weapons workbench and an Advanced-locked wall safe, while the workshop houses a power armor station. An external ramp and ladder on the workshop’s west side lead to the rooftop, where makeshift walkways connect to adjacent roofs. A trunk atop the central building offers potential loot.

• SCAV! Issue #5: Found on the metal table atop the central building.
• Nuka-Cola Victory: Located next to the sandbags on the roof of the garage.

Accessing the employee area before power restoration to the park is possible through inventive rock climbing near the Dry Rock Gulch east entrance. Climbing the giant red Nuka-Cola bottle at the east end of Main Street, then navigating rocks and gaps eastward, allows entry over the outer stone wall. Alternatively, a power armor jet pack facilitates access.

Fairline Hill Estates, once an upscale gated community, now lies in ruins in the Commonwealth. Since the Great War, it has been a haven for scavenger and raider gangs, with its recent inhabitants mysteriously vanishing. The neighborhood is now overrun by yao guai and feral ghouls, while evidence of past habitation remains scattered throughout.

The layout consists of six houses surrounding a central playground, with yao guai roaming the area. Each house offers minor loot, with one containing a floor safe underneath an upstairs bed and another featuring a safe on the ground floor. The northwest house, barred from the inside, reveals signs of habitation, including a rifle trap and a chained-up room housing feral ghouls.

To the northwest lies Eleanor’s trailer home, where a note can be found detailing her dealings. Nearby, in the woods east of Eleanor’s home, her dog Teddy is found captive in a cage, surrounded by hostile hunters.

• Eleanor’s note: Found on a table in Eleanor’s trailer home.
• Creation Club Detective’s coat and fedora: Retrieved from B-263’s corpse.
• Creation Club Early Retirement: Also found on B-263’s corpse.

• A jump scare sound is triggered when approaching from the west or north.
• The layout of Fairline Hill Estates bears a resemblance to the neighborhood in the Tranquility Lane simulation, featuring a similar roundabout layout with a playground at the center and six houses positioned around it.

With its clowns, candy-themed buildings and gentler rides, Kiddie Kingdom was the ideal destination for Nuka-World’s younger visitors and their parents.

Pre-War: Kiddie Kingdom debuted alongside Nuka-Town USA on May 1, 2050, rapidly becoming a favorite among children. Oswald the Outrageous, a magician, headlined the area’s attractions, drawing crowds with his mesmerizing performances. Classic rides like the Ferris Wheel added to the park’s timeless appeal.

The Great War: As tensions escalated, employees of Kiddie Kingdom prepared for the worst, stocking underground tunnels with supplies and safeguarding visitors during the Great War’s outbreak. Following the devastation, survivors fortified the park, facing challenges such as radioactive storms and ghoulification.

The Affliction: Over time, a mysterious malady dubbed “The Affliction” afflicted the community, causing residents to turn feral. Efforts to cure the condition failed, leading to internal strife and eventual demise.

The park’s survivors formed a close-knit community, led by Oswald the Outrageous and Rachel Watkins. They endured hardships together, relying on each other for support and protection.

Kiddie Kingdom’s layout, adorned with a radioactive haze, resembles a maze. Attractions like the Teacups, Ferris Wheel, and Blast Off! ride dot its pathways. Sprayers emitting radiation necessitate caution, particularly without adequate protection. Feral ghouls lurk throughout the area, adding to its perilous ambiance.

Survivors of the Great War, mutated into ghouls, once populated Kiddie Kingdom. Notable figures include Oswald the Outrageous and Rachel Watkins.

Various treasures can be found within Kiddie Kingdom, including Nuka-Racers medallions, Nuka-Cola Quantum, fusion cores, and recipes like the Nuka-Berry and Nuka-Lixir.

Exploring Kiddie Kingdom may uncover quests related to its history, such as discovering the cause of The Affliction or seeking a cure for the community’s woes.

The area’s sprayers, emitting radiation, pose a constant hazard. Deactivating them temporarily may prove futile, as Oswald the Outrageous can reactivate them.

• Feral ghouls
• Radroaches

The design and atmosphere of Kiddie Kingdom draw inspiration from traditional amusement parks, offering a nostalgic experience for visitors.

Nuka-World

The Morton residence, located in the exterior of Nuka-World, is an old house situated on the southeastern outskirts of Bradberton. Abandoned and weathered by time, the residence bears the scars of neglect, with its first floor boarded up and garage chained from the inside.

Access to the house is possible through a drainage pipe to the west, nestled at the base of the stone wall in front of the structure. This pipe leads to the basement, infested with radroaches, housing the remains of a previous resident and an Expert-locked safe. Ascending the stairs to the first floor reveals the garage, featuring a power armor station, while the rest of the house is engulfed in debris.

• Antique silver locket: Found in the basement, within the curio.
• Nuka-Cola Quantum: Located in the basement, held by the skeleton on the bed.
• Power armor frame: Positioned in the garage, adjacent to the power armor station, spawning with zero to six leveled parts. Notably, this is the sole location where power armor with the BOS initiate paint can be obtained.

• The Morton residence offers the only opportunity to acquire power armor with the BOS initiate paint.
• The power armor frame may spawn with rare mods like jet packs or paints such as BOS elder paint.
• Each power armor part is randomized individually, making a full set of T-60 with specific paints unlikely.
• Power armor cannot spawn with paints or parts from other add-ons or Creation Club content.
• Capturing the Nuka-World Red Rocket will designate the Morton residence as a settlement under the influence of the raider outpost.

• Players may exploit the placement of the power armor station inside the garage, accessible through a broken window, bypassing the intended access route. This issue affects all platforms.

• Created by level designers Bryan Brigner and Drew Langlois, the area’s editor IDs (DLC04POIDL01 and DLC04POIBB04).

Natick Banks, located within the Commonwealth in 2287, serves as a small town situated along the western shore of Lake Cochituate, just north of the Glowing Sea.

The town is divided into distinct areas occupied by various factions and creatures. The larger portion of the town is inhabited by super mutants, while raiders control the northern part near the Roadside Pines Motel. Additionally, the central area may see the occasional appearance of a fearsome deathclaw. Notably, the eastern section, including the Natick Police Department, has sunk into the lake.

A Red Rocket gas station in the southern part of town contains terminal entries penned by Kim Wu, a pre-War Chinese-American child seeking refuge with her family. Nearby, a church and graveyard may harbor feral ghouls. To the west lies a shipping warehouse and trailer yard, with a power station further up the hill. This area is known for its high concentration of deathclaws, occasionally clashing with a super mutant behemoth near the western map boundary.

• Vault-Tec lunchbox: Found in the northeastern corner of town, within a red brick building on the second floor beneath a table.
• Leveled power armor: Located at a military checkpoint south of the gas station.
• Two overdue books: One tucked away in a bin on an upper floor from the prison cells, and another within a cell.

• The name “Natick” is derived from the real-world town of Natick, Massachusetts, serving as a nod to its real-world counterpart.

The Nuka-Town market, nestled within Nuka-Town USA, serves as the bustling trading hub of Nuka-World in the year 2287. Enclosed within the courtyard of Nuka-Town USA, this market provides a platform for commerce and exchange, albeit under the watchful eye of raiders.

Constructed within the confines of Nuka-Town USA, the market stands as the primary venue for trade in Nuka-World. Travelers seeking goods and services can access the market, provided they pay the required protection fee. Enslaved traders offer a variety of wares, catering to the diverse needs of visitors.

Entering from the southern gateway, visitors encounter a livestock pen, occasionally hosting the nomadic trader Katelyn Alden. Moving clockwise, the market features Aaron Corbett’s weapon stall, Shelbie Chase’s general store, Mackenzie Bridgeman’s clinic, and Maddox’s chem shack. In the market’s center, raiders oversee the enslaved merchants from scaffolding.

• Throatslicer: Available for purchase from Katelyn Alden.
• Splattercannon: Sold by Aaron Corbett.
• Smart Fragmentation Grenades: Offered by Shelbie Chase.
• Calmex Silk: Provided by Maddox after exchanging ten pieces of bloodworm meat.

• After completing Open Season, traders may appear without clothing on all platforms.

Nuka-World

Ruins

Nuka-Town USA stands as the vibrant heart of Nuka-World in the year 2287. Originally conceived as the nucleus of the Nuka-World amusement park, it opened alongside Kiddie Kingdom on May 1, 2050. This bustling locale witnessed monumental success on its opening day, attracting over 40,000 visitors. Over time, it evolved into a bustling hub of activity, featuring eateries, entertainment venues, and the personal office of Mr. John-Caleb Bradberton, the visionary behind Nuka-Cola.

Following the devastation of the Great War, Nuka-Town USA remained a focal point of life in the valley. However, after Overboss Colter seized control in 2286, the area fell under the dominion of raider gangs—the Disciples, Operators, and The Pack. These gangs enslaved the settlement’s residents, employing them for manual labor around the park. Despite the raiders’ rule, expansion stagnated under Colter’s leadership. Seeking greater power, gang leaders and Colter’s second-in-command, Porter Gage, sought an outsider to lead the raider gangs to further conquests.

Nuka-Town USA boasts a thriving trading post, anchored by the bustling Nuka-Town market. To the west lies the Bradberton Amphitheater, headquarters of The Pack. To the north stands The Parlor, serving as the base for the Operators. Further north lies Fizztop Mountain, controlled by the Disciples, along with Fizztop Grille, Overboss Colter’s residence. The area features various entertainment centers, including Cappy’s Cafe, the Nuka-Cade, and the Cola-cars arena, where the Gauntlet concludes. Bradberton’s office, once overseeing park operations, is also situated within Nuka-Town USA.

Attractions:

• Bradberton Amphitheater
• Bradberton’s office
• Cappy’s Cafe
• Cola-cars arena
• Fizztop Grille
• Fizztop Mountain
• Nuka-Cade
• Nuka-Town backstage
• Nuka-Town market
• Nuka-World maintenance shed
• The Parlor

• Gage’s Armor: Worn by Porter Gage.
• Cappy Glasses: Gifted by Sierra Petrovita at the beginning of “Cappy in a Haystack.”

• Enemies and loot do not respawn in Nuka-Town USA, and bodies do not despawn.

• Inspired by Main Street, U.S.A., Nuka-Town USA pays homage to the first themed area of Disneyland parks.
