Girdershade is a tiny settlement in 2277. It is located in the far southwest of the Capital Wasteland, southwest of Evergreen Mills, with only two inhabitants and a brahmin.

Background[]

Girdershade is a tiny settlement located under an overpass. It got its name from the broken-off portion of the bridge and the exposed girders: all that is left of its superstructure. The population of Girdershade numbers two, Sierra Petrovita and Ronald Laren. They are both long-time residents of the settlement, Sierra as the "founder" of the place and Ronald occupying the second house after its original occupants were slain.[Non-game 1]

Notes[]

  • A random encounter of a scavenger offering the player a Nuka-Cola Quantum will mark Girdershade on their map if it has not been discovered yet. The scavenger will mark it regardless of whether or not the player purchases the Quantum from him.
  • After The Waters of Life is completed, an Enclave camp consisting of one Enclave officer, two Enclave soldiers, and two Enclave deathclaws will appear north of the settlement. Occasionally, an Enclave soldier will wander into the perimeter of Girdershade, but will only spawn when the player exits Ronald's or Sierra's house.
  • Taking the Nuka-Cola from Sierra's house will result in negative Karma.
  • Various wasteland creatures have a habit of wandering into the settlement. At higher levels, these may include yao guai or giant radscorpions.
  • Talking to Sierra and Ronald will provide the player with map markers for Evergreen Mills, the Dunwich Building, and the Nuka-Cola plant.
  • Enclave sentry bots from the nearby camp may follow the player into one of the houses and kill the residents.

  1. The Sole Survivor: "You run a Nuka-Cola Museum?"
    Sierra Petrovita: "Absolutely! I've spent years collecting all the Nuka-Cola merchandise I could find. It's all on display at my home in a settlement called Girdershade. I give tours to anyone who stops by. And I can promise you this - you won't find another collection like mine in the Capital Wasteland, the Commonwealth, or any place else!"
