Bunker Hill

Bunker Hill is a location and potential settlement in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4. Upon completing the quest The Battle of Bunker Hill, the player character can unlock this settlement by speaking to Kessler. Completing Kessler's job to save abducted caravan workers also allows the construction of trade caravan posts at other settlements.

History
During the Revolutionary War, the area was the site of a battle bearing its namesake, between Colonial General Israel Putnam and British General William Howe. Despite being a British victory, it was still an important event in American history, since it was one of the last British victories in the war, since not long after, nearly all of Europe would pledge its support to Colonial America.

After the Great War, the memorial to the fallen soldiers still stands, though caravan traders have made their home here. In the past, the Minutemen protected the settlement from the dangers of the Commonwealth, but after they failed to answer a call during a raider attack, the Minutemen are no longer held in high esteem in the settlement, and they rely on mostly mercenary protection against things that cannot be bought, such as super mutants.

The Railroad also has a base underneath the complex, where they prepare synths for extradition from the Commonwealth. During their purge of the Railroad, the Institute attacks this complex, and it is unknown what the outcome of the battle is.

Layout
Bunker Hill features a perimeter wall, only allowing access through the main gate on the south side and a small door on the east side. Just in front of the main gate is an obelisk with stairs leading to the top. Behind that is a large open space with Deb, the general storekeeper, to the east, one of the caravan leaders in the northeast and Stockton in the northwest. On the west side behind the bar is an inaccessible hatch to the Utility Basement.

Just west of the entrance to the settlement there's Kay's building where medical treatment is available, and the workbench when the settlement has been earned. Next to that in the southwest corner is Kessler's home. Following the wall there's another shack, then in the northwest corner s the Savoldi's place where food and lodging is available. The north and east sides contain a couple more shacks.

Notable loot

 * The Live & Love issue #7 (+25% XP from persuading men) is located on a small table at the top of the spiral stairs inside of the obelisk. The interior of the obelisk can be accessed from the marketplace.
 * Mini nuke - Utility basement, lowest level, southwest corner behind some crates

Behind the scenes

 * In the American Revolutionary War, the Battle of Bunker Hill was predominantly fought on Breed's Hill, not Bunker Hill. Bunker Hill lay some distance to the north and west of Breed's Hill, adjacent to the narrow land bridge that once connected the Charlestown Peninsula to Cambridge (extensive landfill has largely erased the geographical distinction between Charlestown and the mainland).
 * The real-world Bunker Hill Monument is constructed at the site of the battle, on Breed's Hill. Therefore, much like its real-world counterpart, the in-game Battle of Bunker Hill does not take place on Bunker Hill.
