The Hardware Town is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.
Background
When the Sole Survivor first arrives at Hardware Town, a raider pretending to be a civilian settler yells for help to save someone inside. When the Sole Survivor enters, the raider runs behind some doors and raiders can be heard preparing to ambush you behind it. One raider can be overheard saying they should have lured the victim to the basement instead.
- If the Sole Survivor waits long enough, the raiders waiting inside will get impatient and blame (the settler asking for help) the bait for incompetence. They end up executing her and begin to search for the Sole Survivor.
- Alternatively, if the Sole Survivor goes through the basement to the left of the front doors, they can attack the raiders from the back. If the Sole Survivor kills the raider pretending to be a settler before she enters Hardware Town, the raiders lying in wait will have a different set of dialogue. One will insist on checking what is taking their bait so long, and the other will shush him. If the Sole Survivor waits long enough, the two raiders will argue until one of them shoots and kills the other.
Upon revisiting the location Gunners will have taken over the store. However, if you sided with the Institute this location will sometimes be repopulated by hostile Brotherhood of Steel members (and vice versa).
Layout
There is an armor and weapon workshop located in the room where the front entrance is, behind the counter. The large warehouse behind the front room contains many supplies such as Jet, Stimpacks and caps. Be sure to climb to the top of the boxes for a small loot stash containing randomized ammo, a Stimpak, etc. An advanced locked safe sits on top of a shelf on the north side of the room. There is also paint located in the back of the room that completes the quest, "Painting the Town".
Notable Loot
- Picket Fences - Upstairs in the main office on the desk. In the same room as the steamer trunk.
- Stealth Boy - Behind a locked door that can be opened with the Hardware Town Storage Key (located next to the Picket Fences).
- 4 Fusion cores - Walk into the warehouse, cores are in the ammo box on the left, closest to the door. Right next to the staircase. (Leveled loot)
Notes
- An advanced locked safe containing various ammo and missiles can be found on the shelves in the warehouse and a master locked safe is in the storage room with some random items.
- A paint mixer machine which can make green paint from yellow and blue paint cans is located in the back of the warehouse.
- Sneaking around the back end of the store around the red truck will initiate dialogue between two raiders if unnoticed. Near the end of the dialogue, one of the raiders describes a man mimicking the sounds of a motorcycle starting up after a few tries, revving, and changing gears. This implies that this raider has heard a functioning motorcycle and can identify the sounds and that the man mimicking the noises has most likely operated a motorcycle.
- There is a safe (Advanced lock) containing leveled loot on the top shelf of the warehouse's Northern wall. From top shelf opposite the safe, use fallen shelves on the right to reach the safe.
- If the player goes into the basement level of Hardware Town, they will find a large amount of bodies piled up. The bodies are those of settlers and the large amount suggest that the raiders have been stationed in Hardware Town for a large period. It is possible that they have been using the same tactic as the Sole Survivor encountered, luring civilians in and then killing them and stripping them of valuables.
Appearances
The Hardware Town only appears in Fallout 4.
