Deposit it in a nearby bathtub and defend the stills to keep the party going. If you manage to deposit 30 Gulper Venom in the time limit and keep the stills intact, you will be handsomely rewarded. This event will get your all-new items like Gulpershine, the Gulper Smacker melee weapon, and Raider faction reputation.
  • Eviction Notice – The Settlers of Foundation have found a way to scrub a nearby crater of radiation, allowing them to expand their territory.
