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.

Layout
The Glowing Sea is a heavily irradiated area, normally causing 10+ Rads a second. 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 bloatfly.

Notable loot

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

Appearances
The Glowing Sea appears only in Fallout 4.
