Spectacle Island

Not the best holiday destination.

**Spectacle Island** (not to be confused with **the Island**) is a location in Fallout: FROST.

## Overview

A small island off the coast of the Commonwealth, Spectacle Island is a largely frozen waste, with its former human inhabitants long gone.

Serving as a lifeboat to some of the shipwrecked of the capsizing of the FMS Columbia during the Great War in 2077, including Troy Bishop and Al Duval, it got abandoned, after the survivors failed to establish themselves in the hazardous environment.

Providing no shelter from the elements, and subject to frequent radiation storms, in 2082 its sole inhabitants are now bears and mutcrabs, with almost no resources in the way of supporting human life remaining.

## Areas of interest

* A terminal in a small metal shack on a hill in the center of the insland contains lore. The metal shack also contains the settlement's workshop.
* The island does not seem to contain any food (other than that the meat wildlife can provide, if the survivor has the Hunter perk) and drink, nor does it provide for a place to sleep.
* Next to a derelict house close to the northeastern coast another building contains a power armor station and a chemistry station. This building also houses additional weaponry, and there is a chance to find small amounts of ammunition.
* The derelict house close to the northwestern coast of the island contains a Mini Nuke.
* A stranded ship found when following the power line from the metal shack contains a Fat Man and the luck bobblehead.
* An outhouse on the eastern coast of the island contains a small stash of chems.
* A stranded container barge on the northern coast of the island contains several safes of various difficulty containing random loot, with some already opened. A large number of objects on the barge can be scraped for building materials, if the island is turned into a settlement.

## Tactical Considerations

Getting to Spectacle Island is challenging, as it is surrounded by the highly radioactive waters of the Boston Bay, without any other means than swimming being available to reach it. Swimming is also the only way to leave the island.

As the island itself provides no shelter from the elements, survivors planning on exploring it should bring a good amount of radiation resistance increasing chems, and RAD reducing substances. While lead lined apparel is an option, Hazmat suits, even if damaged, may provide for a better weight to protection ratio, especially when swimming.

The small number of bears can be avoided rather easily, and may even be turned non-hostile by powering on the acoustic equipment still remaining. This will also turn the island into a settlement aligned with the survivor, though.

The bears, together with the few mutcrabs roaming around in several areas of the island, seem to be the only sources of food around, and, as all wildlife, require the Hunter perk to be taken in order to be able to gain any meat from them.

There seems be no profit from coming to the island except gaining more lore knowledge.
