Halloween in Fallout means that there are more sinister looking unique monsters roaming the Appalachia map.

I was inspired to create a 'Monster Lookout' but I never really focused on the Construction and Assembly Mobile Platform (C.A.M.P) aspect of the game until now so the amount of construction options I had was limited.

I decided to go ahead with my idea anyway.

I picked a location in the mountain next to Monongah mine due to there being nobody nearby and finding a relatively flat space

Not a very clear photo but it's right of the waypoint marker

After figuring out the building mechanics I started creating and came up with this simple looking shack.

Side View and Entrance

The whole construct is a simple rectangle with a raised platform as 'The Lookout'

Front View of Lookout

The view is great and if I equip Binoculars or a scoped weapon I can see all over the area.

The inside is spartan because I haven't bought any plans for furniture but I still had some stuff to help decorate.

The person in the corner is an NPC Follower that hangs around the place if I set up his Radio station. I added him to the lookout because he gives out daily quests for oddities and mysterious phenomena in Appalachia.

Just something fun to break up the monotony and because I think having 'Monster Lookouts' would be a fun activity in the game.

That's it for this post. No MSPaint image today though, sorry! I will leave you these pleasing photos I took using a flare gun from my lookout.
