Glowing Sea

The Glowing Sea is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Background
Originally the site of a nuclear detonation during the Great War, the Glowing Sea is now a dangerously irradiated hotzone, similar in appearance to the Capital Wasteland (as seen in Fallout 3). Storm systems that pass over the Glowing Sea become irradiated and spread radiation into other parts of the Commonwealth wasteland.

At the center of the Glowing Sea is a settlement known as the Crater of Atom, inhabited by humans. Southwest of the Glowing Sea, outside the boundaries of the map, is also a rocky cave, inhabited by Virgil.

Locations

 * Rocky cave In the SW end past the edge of the map
 * Decrepit factory At the SW corner of the Map
 * Crater of Atom In the SW end Near the Decrepit factory, Could be considered the "Center" of the Glowing sea as it's ground zero of a nuclear strike and more than likely the reason for the Sea existing.
 * Decayed reactor site in the western end beyond the map, NW of the Decrepit factory
 * Atlantic Offices NE of the Crater of Atom NW of the Capsized factory
 * Capsized factory NE of the Crater of Atom SE of the Atlantic Offices
 * Abandoned Church West of the Abandoned shack
 * Abandoned shack NW of the Atlantic Offices almost on the western map border
 * Federal supply cache 84NE NW of Cave 2 squares away from the western border line

Layout
The Glowing Sea is a heavily irradiated area, normally causing 10+ Rads a second (60+ in the liquid sections). A power armor or RadAway and even Rad-X needs to be brought to even think about staying alive. A hazmat suit can also be used, but will not protect against enemy attacks. The layout of the area is mostly just a wasteland filled with deathclaw, radscorpion, large packs of feral ghouls, and the somewhat rare bloatflys, Bloodbugs or Stingwings.

Notable loot

 * Raider power armor
 * Incomplete T-60 power armor (torso and left arm) (Found torso/helm/legs)
 * Gamma gun

Appearances
The Glowing Sea appears only in Fallout 4.
