← All areas in this guide

Grayditch is a ruined suburban town infested by deadly, mutated Fire Ants that spit fire at close range. Upon approaching, a young boy named Bryan Wilks initiates the quest "Those!" by begging the Lone Wanderer to find his missing father. Exploring the area requires clearing the streets, checking houses, and eventually descending into the nearby Mariposaston Depot or Ant Mound to resolve the ant threat.

Tips

  • Shoot the fire ants' antennae in V.A.T.S. to frenzy them, causing them to attack other nearby ants instead of you.
