Natick Banks is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.
Layout[]
Natick Banks is a small town that sits along the western edge of Lake Cochituate, just north of the Glowing Sea. The larger part of the town is occupied by super mutants. The northern part, closer to the Roadside Pines Motel, is occupied by raiders. Additionally, a deathclaw may appear in the town's center. The eastern part of town, including the Natick Police Department, has sunken into the lake.[1]
There is a Red Rocket gas station in the southern part of town, next to a small house holding terminal entries written by Kim Wu, a pre-War Chinese-American child hiding with her family from being sent to internment camps. A bed can be found in the same room as the terminal. The town's church and graveyard may hold some feral ghouls.
To the west of town is a shipping warehouse with a sprawling trailer yard. Farther up the hill is a large power station. There is a large concentration of deathclaws in the area, as well as a super mutant behemoth (usually found roaming around the power station) near the western map boundary who may be seen fighting the deathclaws. Depending on events related to the main questline, Natick Banks is one of the places the Brotherhood may patrol with a vertibird and knights.
Notable loot[]
- Vault-Tec lunchbox - In the red brick building in the northeastern corner of town, on the second floor under a table with a baseball glove on it.
- Leveled power armor - At the military checkpoint, south of the gas station.
- Two overdue books - One in a bin one story up from the prison cells, and one in a cell.

A small town on the banks of Lake Cochituate has suffered from major flooding and subsidence in recent times. Currently the Super Mutants that have mangled up and driven a group of Raiders north are experiencing their own demise, as a pack of Deathclaws has been active in this area."
