The Science Center gift shop is an unmarked location in Cambridge in 2287.

Background[]

A gift shop catering to the nearby academic institution before the Great War, consisting of a pre-War Mister Handy serving in its intended capacity as a vendor.

Layout[]

This store is run by a Mister Handy, who mainly sells odds and ends for the player character to buy, including nine flamer fuel. The gift shop is a single room, with minor loot and a Novice locked safe on the wall behind the register. There is no penalty for picking the safe, but if you are caught stealing, the Mr. Handy will turn hostile. There are several vials of Jet in the corner with three skeletons laid out next to each other. On the other side of the shop is another skeleton in a lab coat. There is a chemistry station against the right wall when entering the shop.

Notes[]

The Mr. Handy can be deactivated using the Robotics Expert perk and then the store can be looted for what is there without destroying the robot.

Appearances[]

The Science Center gift shop appears only in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes[]

In the real world, this is geographically similar to the Boston Museum of Science. It is also aesthetically similar, with a drawbridge that sits next to the main building. The white dome on the top of the attached structure in the game is where the planetarium is located in the real-life museum.

Bugs[]

PCPC The robot's interface is unusual and partially broken. Unlike all other vendors, the downwards dialogue option ("Sure") does not open the vendor interface and only prompts a dialogue. The upwards ("What's for sale?") and leftwards ("Take a look") options, unexpectedly do open the vendor. The interface can't be exited by using the keyboard Tab button, but only by clicking on the option with the mouse.[verification overdue]
