Peoria

The tribal village of Peoria is now only a mockery of the once big city of Peoria, Illinois, located halfway between Chicago and St. Louis.

After the War, only a small, primitive village built over a pre-war storehouse of fusion batteries survives. While the Whachutu tribals guard these batteries zealously, it is doubtful that they understand their function. The storehouse was guarded by automated turrets (considered to be "evil spirits" by the tribals) and inhabited by giant cockroaches.

Around 2197, an Eastern Brotherhood of Steel squad was sent to retrieve the batteries. The Tribal Father and village Elder at that time was Chevron, a strong believer in peace and equality and the shaman was a woman called Dhal.

Mission walkthrough
Here you will need at least 2 characters to accomplish all the objectives.

For this mission take JHP bullets, as your enemies will be only animals (cockroaches and some radscorpions). A shotgun is very useful, but do not forget your hunting riffle. Talk with the elder, than the shaman, and just then open the chest inside the tent.

Then go room to room in a bunker. The defense system will be activated, and laser turrets will hunt on all life-forms. They come up and go down repeatedly. Use your ears, as they make different sound for the two positions. Use every corner to hide from them: run, than lie down behind a pack of crates, hide behind wall-collars - this way you can avoid being shooted at all, and the same time you can get acces to all the lockers.

If you want, you will be able to destroy some of these towers with grenades (and later on you can come back, if you need this little exp.). A hint: the turrets aren't aiming too well!

The hardest time is when you reach the 3rd room in a row, filled with turrets. You can disable them for 10 seconds, but on the other side there won't be a switch. You can repeat the process, if you want, but it is not necessary. But be cautious: just before the room filled with radiation (take 2 Rad-X pills and send only 1 man inside) is a shelf which is trapped. Inside the glowing room you'll find the main boss - Roachor, an even more giant cockroach (without the patch it doesn't do anything), and the 3rd fusion battery.

If the surface-turrets didn't shoot any of the villagers, you get 1 additional battery from the elder, better karma, a promotion and new recruits. After all talk with the shaman again to hear a prophecy. After this mission you will be able to recruit Target - good PE, good IN, good throwing, good small guns, can sneak.

Appearances in the games
Peoria appears only in Fallout Tactics.

Inconsistencies
In the game, the name of the town is often misspelt as "Preoria".
