The wreck of the USS Riptide is a location in the Commonwealth controlled by raiders in 2287.
Background
Edit
The Riptide is a commissioned tug boat of the U.S. Navy. The ship appears to have been towing a barge full of military equipment to an undetermined location up the Charles River.
LayoutEdit
The vessel is accessible from a series of makeshift staircases from an overhead bridge. It is also possible to access the location by swimming up to the ship through the irradiated river. There are two beds in the cabin on the ship, one additional bed inside an opened shipping crate upon the barge, and a cooking station on the deck.
Notable lootEdit
- Wasteland Survival Guide issue #1 - In the ship's main cabin on a table with a lantern and some Jet.
- Mini nuke - In some rubble on the deck level of the tugboat, at the portside bow.
- Raider power armor - Randomly generated parts on one of the raiders.
NotesEdit
If the raiders at this location have not been dealt with before starting the quest Diamond City Blues, there is a chance that they pick a fight with the triggermen, Trish and Nelson Latimer, interrupting the quest.
AppearancesEdit
The wreck of the USS Riptide appears only in Fallout 4.
