For the Fallout 3 location, see Corvega factory. |
The Corvega assembly plant is a location in the city of Lexington in the Commonwealth in 2287. The pre-War facility is home to a group of raiders.
Layout[]
Nearly 20 raiders patrol the outside of the factory, along with a single turret at the main entrance. The gangways to the east side also provide access to numerous side entrances.
There is a hidden entrance access by way of pipes that are located in Lexington between the main and eastern entrances to the factory. Inside, there is a turret guarding the pipe (mostly against ghouls) and some noise alarms.
Jared, the raider leader, is in a small, well-guarded area near the top of the factory. He has two machine gun turrets near him along with spotlights that will alert him to nearby intruders. Once all enemies in the immediate area are killed, two additional raiders will spawn. Inside the factory, the Sole Survivor will encounter another 20 or so raiders, as well as five turrets (including the turret near the hidden pipe entrance).[Non-game 1]
Notable loot[]

- Grognak the Barbarian issue #4 - In the office with Jared.
- A mini nuke - In a Pulowski Preservation shelter shortly to the northeast of the plant. It is in a skeleton's arms.
- Corvega safe key - On Jared, opens a safe (hidden on the ground below Jared's room, behind a keep out sign).
- Nuka-Cola Quantum - On a steel beam in a ruined house west of the plant.

Notes[]
- On the roof of the assembly plant, there is a large drainage pipe with several hatches through which it can be entered. One entry is above the main entrance, another is on the northwestern side. The hatches can be opened through three different parts of the drainage pipe. The middle portion has a lunch pail (with various loot) and a mining helmet, beside a skeleton. Further into the drainage pipe are two more containers (one ammo box and a cooler).
- There is a Protectron in the plant near the upper elevator door inside a pod behind a Novice level terminal which, when activated, will engage the raiders in the vicinity creating a distraction for the Sole Survivor, thus helping to complete the quest, The First Step. However, it will not engage the machine gun turrets nearby. If the Sole Survivor engages the turrets, the Protectron will turn hostile as well. As soon as the Sole Survivor leaves the plant the Protectron will enter a shutdown state.
- A key to the Corvega storage space can be found on Gristle during the fight with a deathclaw outside Concord.
- There is a room with beds on the lower floor of the building. Looking on the local map, it is northwest of the northern Commonwealth exit. In this same area, there are assembly lines containing many connecting rods, torque rod ends etc. There is a raised platform with a maze of support beams and a large pipe above the assembly lines. If one jumps onto it, there is a hidden dead settler carrying various loot behind the pipe.

In one of the first stairways, there is a cigarette machine that, if one backs up onto it (possibly forward too), the player character will be stuck on it, unable to move anywhere else. [verified]
