BADTFL Regional Office

The BADTFL regional office is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
The BADTFL regional office was the main Bureau of Alcohol, Drugs, Tobacco, Firearms and Lasers office for the Boston region before the Great War. It is located in Charlestown, northwest of Bunker Hill in the Cambridge area, south of Poseiden Energy Turbine 18-F along the southern bank of the Mystic River.

By 2287, the BADTFL regional office has become inhabited by a gang of raiders led by Sparta.

Layout
After entering the building to the right, one will find a kind of archive area. A protectron robot is located inside the charging station, and one can activate it via an adjacent terminal. Further inside this room, there is a hole in the wall that leads to the holding cell. Forward and to the right from the entrance one will find the evidence lockup, there is among other things a Fat Man and a mini nuke inside.

To the left of the entrance, one will find an office area and the chief's office. In the office area there is an evidence terminal where one can learn a bit more about Nick Valentine and the name of his fiancé, Jennifer Lands. On one of the computers in the building is a list of people jailed in September 2077.

Bugs
Upon entering the station for the first time, the special scene of two raiders attempting to enter the armory does not play. In at least one case, the player enters and there is one dead raider body in the room with the turret and no scripted sequences are happening.
