Natick

Natick is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
Natick was a highly industrial town, with factories, shops, and a large power station. The town was home to Marshall Wu and his family, who were Chinese-Americans hiding from being brought to internment camps during the Resource Wars.

After the Great War, the Natick ruins became infested with raiders and super mutants, as well as radscorpions and deathclaws due to its proximity to the Glowing Sea. A portion of the Natick ruins has also collapsed into Lake Cochituate.

Layout
Natick is divided into several locations, including Natick Banks, Natick Police Department, Poseidon reservoir, a Red Rocket gas station, and the Roadside Pines Motel. To the west of town are a variety of industrial structures, with a large concentration of up to eight deathclaws roaming the area; a super mutant behemoth is also near the western map boundary, and may be seen fighting the deathclaws. A skeleton hangs from the ceiling of the garage of the hillside home with a white Pick-R-Up in the driveway, while a settler is encountered at a nearby campsite. South of town lies the Glowing Sea, with a checkpoint eventually manned by the Sole Survivor's allied faction.

Appearances
Natick appears only in Fallout 4.
