Cambridge Polymer Labs



The Cambridge polymer labs is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4. There is a "polymer coating applicator" machine that can combine polymers and isotopes on the first floor after radioactive decontamination. Isotopes and polymers can be found throughout the area.

Background
Cambridge Polymer Labs was created as a result of the research of three graduate students, John Elwood, Erica Woolum, and Wilfred Bergman.

Notable loot

 * Piezonucleic power armor chest piece - rewarded for completing orientation.
 * Hazmat suit - in the southwestern-most room on the first floor of the room where the player character first encounters the feral ghouls.

 * Unidentified sample 413 - in the first-floor room directly across from the room with the Polymer Coating Applicator.
 * Unidentified sample 65 - in the northwestern-most first floor room. The Sole Survivor need to go through the room with unidentified sample 413 to get there.
 * A Nuka Cola Quantum in the Nuka Cola machine in the break room.

Appearances
The Cambridge polymer labs only appears in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes

 * Cambridge Polymer Labs does research for the military. In real life, this work would be for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). However in Fallout, its the Defense Experimental Research Projects Initiative, or "DERPI".
