The Glow

The Glow, known before war as the West Tek Research Facility, was founded in 2002 in southern California. It was a facility dedicated to Advanced Weapons making and Biomedical Sciences Research ; its scientists made for example the Power Armor and the first version of FEV before the virus was moved to the Mariposa Military Base.

During the Great War, a nuclear missile exploded on the facility's surface, resulting in the destruction of the FEV containment tanks and releasing the virus into the atmosphere, turning the whole area as one of the most irradiated in California.

Haunted by security robots and deadly due to radiations, this location in FOnline: 2238 is for now quite useless but dangerous, and should become an important place with time. It contains six underground levels, that you can access using an old elevator.
