The Glow

Location from Fallout by Interplay / Bethesda

The irradiated crater where West Tek's original FEV research created the virus that would reshape humanity — a death zone so hot that even reaching it is a suicide mission without rad protection.

Also known as: The Glow, West Tek, West Tek Research Facility, The Hot Spot

What They Know

• The original Forced Evolutionary Virus was developed here before being moved to Mariposa for military testing
• Direct nuclear strikes during the Great War turned the facility into one of the most irradiated locations in the wasteland
• The Brotherhood of Steel uses the location as an initiation trial — reaching it and returning alive proves worthiness
• Underground levels contain pre-War research data, power armor prototypes, and advanced weapons
• Radiation levels are so extreme that even heavily protected explorers can only spend limited time inside
• The facility's research laid the groundwork for everything from super mutants to the Enclave's modified FEV
