Breakheart Banks Farms

Description

Breakheart Banks, situated along the Saugus River, was once a modest family farm until it fell under the control of super mutants.

Layout

Approachable from the west and south, Breakheart Banks is guarded by a lone super mutant and mutant hounds. Tin can alarms hang overhead, and nearby, a poignant scene unfolds with skeletal remains locked in an eternal embrace. Inside the shack, amenities include a mattress, a weapons workbench, a steamer trunk, and a fridge stocked with provisions. A cooking station stands adjacent to the cornfield, while a stranded fishing boat to the northwest emits a nautical radio signal.

Notable Loot

• Super mutant waistcloth: Found in the scouting tower.
• Nuka-Cola Quantum: Resting on a television stand in the scouting tower.
• Super mutant chest harness: Located in the main building near the weapons workbench.
• Over 22 ears of corn: Harvestable from the field and found in the fridge.
