Breakheart Banks

Breakheart Banks is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Layout
Breakheart Banks is a small family farm on the banks of the Saugus River. Before the Sole Survivor's visit to this farm, it was overrun by super mutants. This is evidenced by the corpses of the farmers on the first floor and the smashed automatic turret just outside the farmhouse.

The approach to Breakheart Banks can be tricky because the house has a commanding view of the area to the west and south. There is also a fortification garrisoned by a single super mutant and some mutant hounds.

Inside the shack there is a mattress, a weapons workbench, a steamer trunk, as well as a fridge stocked with corn cobs and mole rat meat. A cooking station can be used next to the cornfield.

Notable loot

 * Super mutant waistcloth - In the scouting tower.
 * Nuka-Cola Quantum - On a television stand in the scouting tower.
 * Super mutant chest harness - In the main building next to the weapons workbench.
 * Over 22 corn cobs - To be picked up in the field and in the fridge.
