Hardware Town

The Hardware Town is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Background
When the Sole Survivor first arrives at Hardware Town, a raider pretending to be a civilian settler yells for help to save someone inside. When the Sole Survivor enters, the raider runs behind some doors and raiders can be heard preparing to ambush you behind it. One raider mentions how they should have lured the victim to the basement instead. If the Sole Survivor waits long enough, the raiders will get impatient and blames the bait for incompetence, executes her, and begins to search for the Sole Survivor. Alternatively, the Sole Survivor can go through the basement (where they were supposed to be lured to) to the left of the doors and attack the raiders from the back. If the Sole Survivor kills the raider pretending to be a settler before she enters Hardware Town, the raiders lying in wait will have a different dialogue. One will insist on checking what is taking their bait so long, and the other will shush him. If the Sole Survivor waits long enough, the two raiders will argue until one of them shoots and kills the other.

Layout
There is an armor and weapon workshop located in the room where the front entrance is, behind the counter. In the large warehouse behind the front room contains many supplies such as jet, Stimpacks and caps. Be sure to climb the top of the boxes for a small loot stash containing flamer fuel, stimpak, etc. There is also paint located in the back of the room that completes the quest, "Painting the Town".

Notable Loot

 * Picket Fences - Upstairs in the main office on the desk. In the same room as the steamer trunk.
 * Fusion core - In a container to the left of the warehouse entrance, below the stairs.
 * 4 Fusion cores - Very top of a shelf in the warehouse. Inside an ammo box.
