The Glow

The Glow, known before the war as the West Tek Research Facility, was founded in 2002 and is located in southern California. It was a facility dedicated to making advanced weapons and biomedical sciences research. Its scientists made, for example, the Power Armor and the first version of the Forced Evolutionary Virus 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 into one of the most irradiated in California.

Haunted by security robots and deadly due to radiation, this location in FOnline: 2238 is pretty dangerous for lone travellers. It contains six underground levels that you can access using an old elevator. Rumors say that on mysterious, underground level 5 you can find pre-war weapons, ammunition and armours.
