Someone spent days mapping Fallout 4's ocean floor - here's what they found

Places you didn't know you could explore in Fallout 4

The Commonwealth in Fallout 4 is a sprawling wasteland, full of fascinating places to explore and interesting people to meet and possibly kill, depending on how much you like what they're wearing. Because it's a huge game, players could take months to fully explore every nook and cranny that it has to offer. While the main quests take you through a lot of the bigger settlements and points of interest in Fallout 4, we're willing to bet that there are more than a few radioactive stones that you've left unturned. With that in mind, here are a few choice locations off the beaten (and bombed) path in order to provide you with some fun distractions. Just pray that no Deathclaws wander into these areas.

The parking garage dungeon

The parking garage dungeon/maze is located next to Milton General Hospital. Should you choose to venture into this labyrinthine structure, be warned that it's a pretty long maze full of puzzles, so you should definitely save your game before heading into the building. But for those of you with enough gumption (and what we assume is a large supply of Stimpaks and ammo), there are locked-door puzzles, creepy mannequins, and traps aplenty waiting for you inside. The general vibe in the garage is like that of the Dunwich Building in Fallout 3. If that name rings a bell to you, then you've known horror.

The rocket shed

Killing Deathclaws and fending off raiders is hard work, so we figure you could use a little something to help you unwind. What better way to let off some steam than by sending a bunch of propane tanks screaming into the horizon before exploding? Located northeast of Relay Tower 0BB-915, the rocket shed is a dinky little shack built on a cliff. No one knows who built the damn thing, but it's safe to say that they were really into seeing stuff blow up. There are mini ramps facing out towards the wasteland on which you can prop the many tanks in the shed, so all you have to do is set them, shoot them, and then watch them go rocketing off in the distance, hopefully taking out a few Super Mutants when they go boom.

The Orca wreckage

One of the best things about huge games like Fallout 4 is discovering all of the neat Easter eggs strewn about. They're usually pretty recognizable because a good amount of them are pop culture references, involving movies, memes, and other artifacts from our cultural history. The wreckage of the Orca is one of these references, clearly a nod to the classic film, Jaws. Head to the bay north of the Salem Museum of Witchcraft to spot a half-sunken ship. When you climb on the deck, you'll see a monstrous porpoise of some sort and the corpse of what can only be assumed was the Quint of this ship. Dive into the water and you'll see a diver's cage, just like the one Hooper uses in the movie. They probably would've put some of the tanks from the rocket shed to good use.
