Bradberton

Bradberton is a location in Nuka-World in 2287.

Background
Bradberton was founded in 2060 by the Nuka-Cola Corporation, in order to house the employees working at Nuka-World. The small town is located north-west of Nuka-World, and is named after the creator of Nuka-Cola, John-Caleb Bradberton.

Since the Great War most of the town has survived, but the remains have become infested with feral ghouls.

Layout
A small, straightforward town to navigate, Bradberton is mostly built around the central road passing through it, with the police station and other public buildings in the central square. Most of the buildings that are not boarded up are completely ruined and littered with dirt and debris. A small chapel can be found in the west, and down the road. The motel is still open to scavengers, even if there isn't much left to scavenge now. To the southeast the remnants of the Little Nuka Gift Shop can be explored and there is a working terminal on the counter.

Notable loot

 * Rachel's holotape - Found near the body of Rachel Watkins, on the lower level of a collapsed house on the southeast side of Bradberton, two houses east of the town's motel.
 * A Nuka-Cola lunchbox on the counter top in the same building as Rachel's corpse.

Appearances
Bradberton appears only in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World.

Behind the scenes

 * Upon entering the town from the south road, there is a reference to the Dark Souls series in the second house on the left. Inside an altar can be found, decorated with or dedicated to the sun and stars. In front of the altar a pile of glowing embers is on the floor with a Chinese officer sword sticking out of it. The player can 'kindle' the fire, making it burst into flames upon which stimpaks fall from thin air. Taking the sword makes more stimpaks appear. In the Dark Souls series, bonfires are used to refill player health, much like stimpaks are for.


 * Bradberton is likely a reference to Hersey, Pennsylvania, a company town built to house the workers and offices of the chocolate-producing Hershey Company. The town is located near to the Hersheypark theme park and Hershey's Chocolate World visitors' center, both consumables-themed amusement parks similar to Nuka-World.
