Sentinel Site Unique Locations

Description

Located in the Glowing Sea, Sentinel Site Prescott is a pyramid-shaped facility, surrounded by toxic sludge, which was initially designated as a nuclear munitions disposal site. However, its true purpose was far more ominous: it served as a covert missile silo, stockpiling Mark 28 nuclear warheads for the U.S. military’s clandestine experiments.

Background / History

Sentinel Site Prescott’s history is a chilling narrative of technological hubris and catastrophic failure. Despite its facade as a disposal facility, the site clandestinely conducted experiments to integrate nuclear warheads into existing ballistic missiles. This covert agenda culminated in numerous test launches, including a final, ill-fated attempt on the eve of the Great War. Tragically, the launch malfunctioned, trapping the facility’s staff within its confines. Over time, many succumbed to starvation and thirst, while others were transformed into feral ghouls, doomed to roam the facility’s depths.

Layout

The exterior of the main bunker presents a foreboding concrete pyramid, housing a blast door entrance on its northeast face. Ventilation towers punctuate the landscape, hinting at the facility’s subterranean depths. Within the facility, a network of catwalks spans a vast chamber resembling a missile silo. Descending into the depths, visitors encounter control rooms, observation areas, and barracks, each harboring remnants of the facility’s grim past. Notably, the bomb storage area conceals a trove of Mark 28 nuclear warheads.
