Conquering the Concrete Jungle: How to Tame the Boston Airport Settlement in Fallout 4
Ah, the Boston Airport. A sprawling expanse of concrete, a monument to bygone air travel, and now, your potential post-apocalyptic paradise! But wait, hold your vertibird horses there, vault dweller. This ain't your cozy little Sanctuary Hills. Settling the Boston Airport requires the cunning of a Nuka-Cola Brahmin, the charisma of a smooth-talking ghoul radio host, and maybe a sprinkle of jetpack joyriding.

| How To Get The Boston Airport Settlement |
Step 1: Buddy Up with the Brotherhood (Unless You're Feeling Feisty)
Look, the Brotherhood of Steel already calls the airport home. They've got their fancy Prydwen airship docked there, and they're not exactly known for their "welcome wagon" approach. So, here's your choice, sunshine:
- Become a BOS BFF: Do their quests, schmooze with Paladin Danse, and eventually, they'll be cool with you setting up shop.
- The Renegade Route: This one's a bit more explosive (literally). Side with the Institute or the Railroad and take down the Prydwen. Just remember, those vertibird missiles ain't exactly nerf darts.
Pro-Tip: Whichever faction you choose, make sure you clear out any feral ghouls lurking around. They're about as welcome as a radroach in your power armor.
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
Step 2: Finding the Elusive Workshop (Because Seriously, Where Is It?)
The good news? The settlement workshop is there. The bad news? It's better at hide-and-seek than a deathclaw in tall grass. Here's the lowdown:
- Head to the East Boston Preparatory School: Follow the road south, and you'll eventually bump into the airport ruins.
- Look for a Bus Stop of Broken Dreams: Right next to a busted-up terminal, you'll find a pre-war waiting area with some benches.
- Turn Around, Bright Eyes: The workshop is hiding behind that very same terminal, snuggled against the back wall.
Don't worry, you're not crazy. This workshop has some serious camouflage skills.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
Step 3: Building Your Concrete Utopia (But Maybe Not a Farm)
Congratulations! You've unlocked the Boston Airport settlement. Now comes the fun part: turning it from a wasteland to a wasteland with a slightly better view. Here's a heads up:
 |
- Forget About Farming: Sadly, you can't plant crops on that concrete jungle floor. Stock up on mutfruit and mirelurks for your settlers, because they ain't gonna be growing their own brahmin steaks.
- Water Won't Flow Freely: The settlement radius doesn't extend to any natural water sources. You'll need to rely on trusty water pumps.
- Building with Benefits: The open space is great for sprawling structures, but watch your build limit. This ain't exactly Sanctuary Hills real estate.
