Salem

Salem was a town in Massachusetts before the Great War.

Background
Once a quaint coastal town and seaport, this tourist destination was infamous for its witch trials of 1692. Nowadays the population has dwindled considerably due to Gunner activity in the area, the crazies worshipping a radiation crater down the road, and the large number of mating Mirelurks in the waters all around the bay.

Andrew Endicott was abducted from here by aliens in 1697.

Related quests
Contains a short line of miscellaneous quests with a "Salem Militia" character named Barney Rooks (and his sidekick rifle, Reba) where one has to activate 5 terminals to activate 5 turrets, killing a few mirelucks on the way. The reward is a hunting rifle that does +50% damage against bugs. But if you're lazy like me you can shoot Barney and the key to the room with the rifle. AND IT LOOKS F*CKING AWESOME!

Notable loot

 * Mini nuke - Underneath the terminal in the bell tower.
 * Fat Man (Fallout 4)

Appearances
Salem is first mentioned in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.

It later appeared in Fallout 4, as a location the player character can visit.
