Quincy Ruins

The Quincy Ruins are a location in the Commonwealth $$ It is the city where the Commonwealth Minutemen made their last stand.

Background
The hometown of John Adams, John Quincy Adams and John Hancock, this town was briefly occupied by the Commonwealth Minutemen. However, the town was sieged by the Gunners after Clint, a fellow Minuteman, betrayed his own for a position of leadership. The abandoned town was repurposed as a Gunner fortress, with two distinct sections, including the town itself and the fortifications on the highway.

Layout
Baker will be on the church rooftop wielding a Fat Man. Inside this unmarked church building is Sturges' terminal. There are a power armor station and a weapons workbench within the church. Another station is across the street at the Red Rocket to the west.

From the top of the church, one can reach the Gunner camp. The camp rests in the northern part of the ruins, on the freeway overpass. The overlook can be accessed by crossing any of three bridges connecting to the roofs of the adjacent church, the radio tower, and a house. The stronghold hosts several living quarters among the derelict cars, and a collapsed road in the western part leads to the second tier. This tier holds a watchtower and a small command station between two trailers. The command center has a terminal and a steamer trunk. There is also a parking garage located in the south of the ruins, which contains two leveled radscorpions burrowed in the ground. The Quincy Station is located on the city edge.
