The Coop

The Coop is a location in the Forest region of Appalachia . It is a Crater Raiders outpost that is reeling from an attack which killed its leader, Keith Cooper.
The Coop is located almost directly east, and only slightly north, of Black Mountain Ordnance Works. On the world map, it is across the road, and its waypoint marker is depicted in the mountains, located up a cliff.
==Background==
The Coop was originally a group of nomadic settlers led by a man named Chris. When Keith Cooper joined the group, he would decide that he should instead be in charge, and led Chris to his death. Shortly after, Keith convinced the others that following him would be their best option.The Coop terminal entries; Keith Cooper's terminal, A Better Leader
In time, Keith would manipulate and gaslight his group into doing what he wanted, gloating about his efforts on his personal terminal. Anyone who challenged his position as leader was killed by the group.The Coop terminal entries; Keith Cooper's terminal, The End of Terry Eventually, only true loyalists were left.The Coop terminal entries; Keith Cooper's terminal, A Loyal FamilyThe Coop terminal entries; Keith Cooper's terminal, Garbage Day
At some point, scouts from the group would encounter the Crater Raiders, and would inform Keith of this new group. Being the manipulative and controlling man he was, Keith wanted to climb to the top of the raiders, though Meg Groberg's leadership proved to be an obstacle. Once the group integrated, it is implied that the residents of the Coop began their final transformation into being chem-addicted raiders. Keith mentioned bringing his experience in the drug trade "to the table" in negotiations with the Crater Raiders.The Coop terminal entries; Keith Cooper's terminal, The Crater RaidersThe Coop terminal entries; Keith Cooper's terminal, Merging with the Group
Before he could climb to the top, Keith was killed by an unknown assassin. The subsequent fighting and attempted retaliation led to chaos and confusion in the Coop; Dicer explains that no one knows who did it, or if the killer was ever captured. Due to Keith's manipulation, the raiders are left reeling for their dear leader who in actuality damned them in the first place.Vault 76 dweller: "What happened here?"Dicer: "A tragedy! We used to have Keith to lead us. He was a smart man, he always told me what to do! I guess someone didn't like that. They didn't like what Keith had, so they... they killed him! We retaliated. A lot of people died. But in the confusion, I'm not really sure if we got the bastard or not. Anyway, we don't have Keith anymore, and I don't know what to do. It's a mess!"(Dicer's dialogue)

* Level designer Ryan Johnson worked on the geography, layout and art of this location, in addition to writing the notes and terminal entries regarding Keith Cooper. Johnson received layout design guidance from Craig Bernardo, art approval from Andrew Collins (who also worked on the lighting), while Christopher Marshall wrote the character of Dicer.Ryan Johnson on ArtStation: "Fallout 76 - The Coop"
* Originally, Johnson planned for Keith to have been killed in the story by a Vault 76 dweller, fresh out of the Vault, but this was changed to be more open-ended for the final release.
