Quincy Ruins

The Quincy ruins is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287. It is the sacked 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 recently sieged by the Gunners after Clint, a fellow Minuteman, betrayed his own for a position of leadership in the Gunners. The abandoned town was repurposed as a Gunner fortress, with two distinct sections: The town itself and the fortifications on the highway.

Layout
Following the Quincy Massacre this area became controlled by the Gunners, and it remains so when the Sole Survivor encounters it. Baker will be on the church rooftop wielding a Fat Man. Inside of this unmarked church building is Sturges' terminal, which tells of Mama Murphy predicting an attack on the settlement and the settlers requesting help from the Minutemen, as well as a "couple suits of power armor" - Tessa's suit (the one that "won't start" and had to be dragged there), and the one lying on the overpass' wooden lookout, which Clint tries to reach in case of danger.

The last entry on Sturges' terminal is from a Gunner, stating that a small group escaped the attack and fled under the pursuit of a Gunner lieutenant and his squad; this presumably being the twenty people, including Preston Garvey and his group, whose numbers would diminish by the time of reaching Concord. There is a power armor station and a weapons workbench within the church.

From the top of the church, one can reach the highway overpass nearby, and many of the Gunners will likely be there.

Notable loot

 * Guns and Bullets - On the second story of the broken highway next to the terminal. Take the church up and follow the path west to the ramp leading up, then around the other side of the truck right at the ramp.
 * Nuka-Cola Quantum - On the overpass in the cooking area west of the church entrance.
 * Mini nuke - In the small wooden shack on the second story of the overpass. It should be located under the table with the radio and ammo box.
 * Good Intentions - Unique laser rifle carried by Clint, who will be wearing mixed T-51/T-60 power armor minus the helmet and can be found just past the ramp to the second story of the overpass. He can occasionally be found out of the armor, mainly at night, at which point it can be stolen. If you can't find this on Clint check around the truck and trailer on the lower level of the freeway by the beds. Take the church up and follow the path west to the ramp leading up and the truck and trailer are in front of the ramp.
 * Fusion core - One on the 1st floor of the church, in a box next to the computer terminal; another on the 2nd floor of the police station, on top of a desk inside a wooden box, opposite a cooler and ammo box.
 * Tessa's Fist - Unique raider right arm power armor can be obtained from Tessa.
 * Mama Murphy's note - Quincy Apartments, on a dresser on the upper floor in a heavily-furnished room, which is accessible from both the diner and Guns Guns Guns.
 * Mama Murphy's stash, a cooler containing a large number of chems, on the balcony accessible from the room containing Mama Murphy's note.
 * Tessa's holotape and an almost complete set of heavy combat armor worn by Baker.

They can assist in these efforts by clearing out the location of hostiles.
