Hangman's Alley

Hangman's Alley is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4. It is a location for a settlement. It starts in the hands of a small group of raiders, once they have been dispatched it can be used as a settlement. The area is quite small; however it comes with some pre-existing defenses, which can be useful when starting out. Despite its small size, it can make a good base: • It is rather good at limiting areas of attack, as it is only accessible from two directions. (3 if you unchain the door up the ladder). • Close to central location • Easy to build on (flat surfaces) • Can build up vertically, allowing for strategic placement of defences

There are no pre-existing settlers, so you may need to consider your options when deciding what to do with the settlement: • Build a power source and recruitment beacon • Move settlers from other locations • Keep the location as a personal settlement (no settlers)

Layout
As this is the location for a settlement, there is a workshop, weapons workbench, and a cooking station. The majority of the structures present can be scrapped, primarily excluding the elevated shack. There is a reasonable amount of dirt within the build-able area allowing crops and water pumps to be placed, however it is unlikely that much excess (crops and purified water) will be produced. There are no open sources of water (e.g. a river).

Appearances
Hangman's Alley only appears in Fallout 4.

Bugs
When doing the quest Taking Point: Hangman's Alley, the Radio Beacon and Power Generator can be constructed outside of the accessible area. If this happens, one would either have to build a second generator, or use the tcl (no clipping) console command to exit the map and access them.
