Layton Towers

Layton Towers is a location in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston

Background
A tenement block stronghold, now controlled by raiders.

Layout
Layton Towers is a pair of towers in the Back Bay neighborhood. At least a dozen raiders control the interior and exterior. The towers are connected through an internal walkway on the fifth floor. There are three entrances to the towers: the front entrance to the western tower at ground level on the south side of the building, and one entrance on the roof of each tower. The roof entrance to the western tower may be reached by a fire escape in an alley on the east side of the building, while the roof entrance to the eastern tower may be accessed by an exterior window-washing elevator initially at ground level near several mines on the south side of the building. A dead raider, a dead settler, and a duffle bag may be found in a ruined upper-floor exterior room across from two vehicles connected with a ramp on the elevated roadway just southwest of the front entrance to the western tower, and two ammo boxes and other minor loot are scattered in and near the basketball court just south of the front entrance to the western tower.

Each tower comprises six floors, but only the fifth and sixth floors are accessible in the eastern tower, and the second floor is inaccessible in the western tower. An Advanced-locked safe is outside the restroom in the back of the first floor of the western tower. Debris blocking the western tower stairwell between the third and fourth floors must be bypassed by a ramp in the corridor to the fourth floor or the elevator connecting the first and fifth floors. On the fifth floor of the eastern tower, a chemistry station is next to a broken elevator with a sleeping bag. There is a living area on the roof of the eastern tower containing a mattress, a steamer trunk, a cooking station, and a weapons workbench, along with two raiders and their attack dog.

Loot
Fusion core - On the first floor of the western tower, in a generator.

Bugs
It is possible to walk through the roof entrance door to the eastern tower without a prompt to enter "Layton Towers" being displayed. Passing through the door, one will see through the mesh of the tower, and the player character will fall to their death. Saving and reloading will fix the issue: the prompt to enter Layton Towers will appear, and the door will be solid.
