Salem

Salem was a town in Massachusetts before the Great War.

Background
Once a quaint coastal town and seaport, this tourist destination was infamous for its witch trials of 1692. Nowadays the population has dwindled considerably due to Gunner activity in the area, the crazies worshipping a radiation crater down the road, and the large number of mating Mirelurks in the waters all around the bay.

Andrew Endicott was abducted from here by aliens in 1697.

Notable loot

 * Mini nuke - Underneath the terminal in the bell tower.
 * Fat Man
 * Guns and Bullets - in Barney Rook's basement.
 * Reba II - In Barney's basement.

Related quests
Contains a short line of miscellaneous quests with a "Salem Militia" character named Barney Rook (and his sidekick rifle, Reba) where one has to activate 5 terminals to activate 5 turrets, killing a few mirelurks on the way. The reward is a hunting rifle that does +50% damage against bugs. Or you can kill Barney and retrieve his key thus allowing you access to his basement.

Appearances
Salem is first mentioned in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta. It later appears in Fallout 4, as a location the player character can visit.
