The X-7b Boom Town target zone is a mock settlement in the east of Big MT, built to test Saturnite howitzer shells fired from the X-7a Left Field artillery launch. The houses are shelled to ruins and the ground is irradiated from the tests, and Doctor Klein's intercom message warns visitors to stay away while weapon testing is unresolved. Ulysses left a red Old World flag on one of the bombed-out buildings you see when you arrive.
The ruins are full of hidden supplies. The northeast house has a Nuka-Cola Quartz and a Nuka-Cola Victory, with a frag grenade and a mine box on its roof. Plasma and pulse mine boxes hide under a metal plank by a southwestern house, pulse and plasma grenade boxes sit by a wrecked car at the southern wall, and a cask on a hill outside the fence holds Battle Brews and can be used for storage.
After you fire the artillery gun at X-7a, a footlocker appears in a crater north of the westernmost house, holding a Guns skill book recipe and an Atomic-Valence Tri-Radii-Oscillator. Come with radiation protection and check every house; the X-8 research center and Y-17 medical facility are both a short walk away. Once its personality is restored, the Sink Auto-Doc can clear any radiation you pick up here for free.
How to get there
Head east from the Think Tank toward the X-8 research center; Boom Town sits just west of it.
Notable loot
- Nuka-Cola Quartz and Nuka-Cola Victory (northeast house)
- Atomic-Valence Tri-Radii-Oscillator and Guns skill book recipe (crater footlocker, after firing the X-7a gun)
- Battle Brews (cask on a hill outside the fence)

Tips
- Fire the X-7a gun first so the footlocker is there when you arrive.

- The cask outside the fence is a handy extra storage spot.
