Bunker Hill

Bunker Hill is a location and potential settlement in the Commonwealth in 2287. Upon completing the quest The Battle of Bunker Hill, the player character can unlock this settlement by speaking to Kessler. Completing Kessler's job to save abducted caravan workers also allows the construction of trade caravan posts at other settlements.

During the American Revolution, the area was the site of a battle between General Israel Putnam of the Colonial Army and his British counterpart, General William Howe. Though it was primarily fought on nearby Breed's Hill, the Battle of Bunker Hill received its name from the primary British objective, which they ultimately took. While the Colonial forces were defeated, they had inflicted significant casualties on the British Army, convincing them to avoid further engagements during the Siege of Boston.

After the Great War, the memorial to the fallen soldiers still stands, though caravan traders have made their home here. In the past, the Minutemen protected the settlement from the dangers of the Commonwealth, but after failing to answer a call during a raider attack, the Minutemen are no longer held in high esteem in the settlement, and they rely mostly on mercenary protection against things that cannot be bought, such as super mutants.

The Railroad has a base underneath the complex, where they prepare synths for extradition from the Commonwealth. During their purge of the Railroad, the Institute attacks this complex, and it is unknown what the outcome of the battle is.
