It's also recommended to watch the clock, as the two doses of Rad-X and the 100% radiation resistance they grant will last 24 hours. To enter the facility, players need to use rope on the protruding beam. Party members are not affected by radiation mechanics at all.

Players should take two doses of Rad-X as soon as they enter the map, as the character starts soaking up radiation the moment they arrive. Bodies that surround the crater are all that remains of would-be explorers and are empty. Hardened armor plating used to provide an additional level of protection for the facility below are visible where the wind has stripped away the sand and rock. The surface of the facility has been wiped clean by the nuclear strike, with just a gaping crater where the entrance elevator would be. You need to prepare a rope before venturing forward. Layout The color of an arrow indicates which pass key is needed to access which parts of the facility. Some time after 2162, some ghoul survivors from Necropolis settled north and west of the Glow, and founded the town of Dayglow, whose inhabitants formed partnerships with scavenging companies from New Adytum and the Hub and have built quite a profitable corporation from their salvage efforts. Use of Rad-X to boost radiation resistance to 100% is widely considered absolutely necessary to survive a trip to the Glow. Rumor has it that 'all sorts of mutant freaks' guard the technology from before the war, but the radiation is even better at guarding the technology a few moments' exposure is enough to give a human a lethal dose of rads. It is important to note that the Glow, true to its name, is one of the most highly irradiated locations in the Fallout universe. They were quite surprised when one known as the Vault Dweller actually made it back, bringing with him a holodisk that recorded the fate of Allen's expedition, and earning him a place in the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood of Steel used to send unwanted applicants to the Glow on a 'fool's quest', referring to it by the moniker the 'Ancient Order', just to laugh about it later when they ended up dead because of the high amount of radiation in the area. Upon arrival, they started exploring the ruins, but were promptly chewed apart by security robots and radiation when they breached the lower levels and weren't recognized as authorized personnel. Allen, together with Soto, Jensen and Camarillo arrived at the Glow after several weeks of travel. Allen and his group split away, taking some technology and weapons with them. Shortly after the Great War, in late 2077, a faction led by Sergeant Dennis Allen gained strength during the Brotherhood of Steel Exodus from Mariposa, and urged the Elders and Captain Roger Maxson to let them explore the ruins of the West Tek Research Facility for artifacts. Due to its high radiation, the facility came to be known as the Glow, surrounded by legends among the people of New California. strain did not have the same mutagenic abilities as its counterpart at Mariposa, but still complicated things for the Master later on. Mutated by radiation, the airborne F.E.V. containment tanks and releasing the irradiated virus into the atmosphere. During the Great War the surface of the installation took a direct hit from a nuclear warhead which left a gaping hole exposing the subterranean installation, shattering the F.E.V.

The West Tek Research Facility was destroyed in the nuclear holocaust of 2077. Several other projects were also being pursued, including energy weapons and upgrading existing armor. In 2076, the research facility was secured by a military contingent for fear of international espionage, shortly afterwards, the PVP research was moved to the Mariposa Military Base where experimentation on human subjects would continue. Its second-largest was the Pan-Immunity Virion Project (PVP), later known as the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV). Initially divided into two sections, 'Advanced Weapons' and 'Biomedical Sciences Research', it was the single biggest private contractor of the American federal government by 2069, with its biggest project being the T-51 power armor for use by infantry soldiers on the frontlines.
