I went into my first ever refugee centre⦠dunno why iād never visited one, just a quirk of how my games have gone. Iām in early to mid-game, so Iām still very vulnerable, and this is an enviro i know nothing about, so i scout around a bit to get the lay of the land, chat up a few people looking for quests. They trade for corn and some other farming stuff. Good to know. I touch nothing and am polite.
In the lobby, Iām introduced to an arsonist who āblows up buildings to collect rebarā. This guy is loaded to the gills with blowy-uppy. Cool beans. I go to trade but donāt really have much on hand at that very moment, so I note him with the intention of coming back later.
Half-a-block outside the refugee centre, I run into a mini-swarm and about halfway through the fight have picked up a few bad bites and see a brute and some ferals inbound, so I hightail it to my car but angle my escape in a way so as to see if the guards come out of the Refugee Centre to deal with the problem, maybe offer me some easy looting.
Thatās when the explosions start.
I donāt know what happened. I donāt want to know what happened.
It appeared that surviving guards had either dived or been blown out barricaded windows. Iām sure others werenāt so lucky.
Iāve driven past the place 4 times now, and it still burns. The explosions continue, seasons later.
If they ever stop, Iām off to see if thereās any free rebar lying aroundā¦
