This is the site where the bombs landed 200 years ago, making it and the surrounding area heavily irradiated. Near the edge of the map, the ground will rise up sharply and then fall away again as you enter the Crater of Atom. Your power armour should help you stand up to any you can't avoid as you trudge away through the rocks and irradiated multicoloured streams of water.

Be warned that the enemies here (radscorpions, stingwings and ghouls) can be quite dangerous so make sure you use your V.A.T.S to detect them early so you can avoid potentially lethal engagements. You'll want to fast travel as close as possible to the marker (this will vary depending on your exploration), but you should make sure to discover the electrical hobbyist's club along the road to the North of the marker as it is the closest location that is not within the irradiated area for future travel.įrom here you will need to head South-West into the radiation zone, crossing the devastated landscape. Note: You will also want to bring a companion that is immune to radiation (such as Strong) or equip your companion with a suit of power armour to avoid them taking radiation damage.
