Conquering the Concrete Jungle: A Guide to Infiltrating the Boston Rationing Site (For the Discerning Wastelander)
Ah, the Boston Rationing Site. A monument to pre-war bureaucracy and the current residence of...well, nobody important (except maybe some killer loot). But those boarded-up doors and "Keep Out" signs are just minor inconveniences for a resourceful wastelander like yourself, right? Wrong. They're minor inconveniences with angry turrets and a healthy dose of radiation. But fear not, fellow scavenger! This guide will turn you from a vault-dwelling newbie to a seasoned rationing-site raider in no time (well, maybe not no time, but definitely less time than getting mauled by a radroach).
How To Get Into Boston Rationing Site |
Step 1: Channel Your Inner Spider-Monkey (Because the Front Door is a Lie)
Forget about the main entrance. It's about as welcoming as a molerat convention. Instead, we're going to embrace our inner circus performers with some good old-fashioned parkour. Head to the south side of the building, near the train tracks. See those handy shipping containers? Those are your new best friends. Use them (and maybe some acrobatic moves you never knew you had) to climb your way up to the roof. Just remember, if you take a tumble, the only thing softer than the landing might be your ego.
Pro-Tip: Power armor makes this a breeze, but if you're rocking a more "casual wasteland chic" look, bring some stimpaks. Gravity can be a real jerk.
Step 2: Welcome to the Tunnel of Love (Unless You Hate Mole Rats)
Once you're through the roof hatch (because who doesn't love a good surprise entrance?), you'll find yourself in a dank and delightful tunnel. Just kidding, it's creepy and full of mole rats. These little buggers may be cute from a distance (okay, maybe not), but up close and personal, they're a pain in the, well, you get the idea. Blast away with your favorite weapon, or just channel your inner Indiana Jones and outrun the little buggers.
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.
Words of Wisdom: This tunnel is also filled with flammable gas. Don't be a spark happy wanderer, or you might find yourself becoming a human barbeque.
Step 3: Follow the Radio Waves (And Hope They Don't Lead You Astray)
After navigating the mole rat obstacle course (and maybe a fiery death or two), you'll stumble upon a radio. Activate it! Not only will this complete a certain very important quest (no spoilers here!), but it'll also open the door to the real prize: a sweet set of X-02 Power Armor.
Side Note: There's also a terminal nearby with some interesting (and slightly disturbing) lore about the previous owner of the armor. Just saying.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
Step 4: Suit Up and Strut Your Stuff (Because Power Armor Makes Everything Better)
Now for the moment you've all been waiting for: claim your X-02 Power Armor! Feel the surge of power coursing through your veins (or what's left of them after the wasteland). Now you can walk (or stomp) through the Commonwealth with the confidence of a thousand suns.
Congratulations! You've successfully infiltrated the Boston Rationing Site and emerged victorious (and hopefully not too irradiated).
