Sugar Grove
Sugar Grove is located in the Savage Divide. It played a crucial role as an intelligence building for the United States during the Great War. Unfortunately, it is now heavily occupied by robots, which can make exploring and looting a bit of a hassle. However, it is still worth a visit if you’re searching for Circuitry, as there are plenty of phones you can scrap. Additionally, you can find other valuable items like typewriters, fans, clipboards, and globes, which youcan scrap for Screws.
The Whitespring Resort
The Savage Divide is where you’ll find the Whitespring Resort and Golf Club, which serves as the Responders' base of operations. The resort has numerous shops to buy weapons, armor, and other items. However, the abandoned buildings surrounding the main building are worth exploring, as you’ll find many phones there. Remember that this area is also infested with feral ghouls, so be prepared to fend them off during your visit.
Eastern Regional Penitentiary
The Eastern Regional Penitentiary is situated in the Toxic Valley region and was built in 1866 to accommodate prisoners from the surrounding region. If you plan to visit the prison, enter through the main entrance and head towards your right to reach the visitation area. You’ll find about six phones on both sides of the visitation window. However, exploring deeper is unnecessary unless you must complete any quests or public events. So, feel free to leave once you have collected the phones.
Abbie’s Bunker
Abbie’s Bunker is a pre-war bunker built by members of the Free States in the Mire region, east of the Red Rocket Mega stop. You’ll need to hack a level 0 terminal to enter the Bunker.
