Gunners Plaza

The Gunners plaza is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
Before the Great War the building was the local broadcasting station, serving the Boston area for Galaxy News Network and Telecoms Communications Inc. In 2287, the largely intact building has become the headquarters for the Gunners, a large mercenary group operating in the Commonwealth, who are led by Captain Wes.

Layout
There are three ways to enter the building: the front gates let one enter on the first floor, on the left or the right of the first room, the elevator on the roof lets one reach the basement and the wooden door on the balcony guides one to the second floor. A second elevator connects the basement to the first floor.

The front gates are guarded by several Gunners on foot and two automated turrets. The roof is accessed by metallic stairs at the western side of the building. The balcony is accessed by going down some stairs once on the roof. At higher levels, the gunners guarding the roof can be found to use a Fat Man or a missile launcher.

On the first floor, right near the entrance, there is a Protectron (Novice terminal). An armor workbench can be found on the roof and there is a cooking station on the balcony. Another armor workbench and a weapons workbench can be found in the basement. A chemistry station with supplies is located in the recording room on the first floor.

Behind the scenes
In the recording studio, one can find a mini nuke inside a refrigerator. This is a reference to the famous scene in Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull when Jones survives being inside a nuclear test sight by hiding inside a lead lined refrigerator the scene being named "Nuke in a fridge."
