Fallout 4: Clear the Rotten Landfill

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's talk about the Rotten Landfill in Fallout 4. Honestly, it's not the most exciting spot, mostly just a big pile of trash between Tenpines Bluff and Lexington. But hey, even trash heaps can have secrets!

Walkthrough

1
Rotten Landfill: You'll find this area as a big mound of rubbish. Keep an eye out for Molerats – both the regular kind and some Rabid ones. You'll need to clear them out both above and below ground. Once they're dealt with, you can loot a Steamer Trunk that's hidden amongst the trash. The loot inside is random, and while most Molerats won't be too tough, you might stumble upon a legendary one.

Tips

The Rotten Landfill itself is pretty straightforward, but don't skip looting the Steamer Trunk. You never know what goodies you might find!
Keep an ear out for Molerat squeaks – they're usually a good indicator of their location.

Nearby Locations:

While the landfill isn't a major quest hub, there are a couple of unmarked spots nearby that are definitely worth your time:

Radscorpion Shack: Head uphill to the west of the Rotten Landfill. You'll find a small shack tucked under an overpass. Inside, you'll encounter a burrowed Radscorpion. Take it down, and then check out the cage nearby. It's locked with an 'Expert' lock, but inside you'll find a radioactive barrel and, more importantly, four RadAway! You'll take some radiation from the barrel, but it's a small price to pay for the RadAway.
Crashed Vertibird: Southeast of the Rotten Landfill, across the road, there's a lake. Look along the northern edge of the water, and you'll spot the remains of a downed vertibird. Swim out to it, and on the western side, at the bottom of the lake, you'll find a suit of Power Armor. This Power Armor scales with your level, so it's always worth checking out, even if the specific pieces might vary. Be prepared to take a few Rads while you're down there.
