Newcomer / Intro Little guard sheds?

[Frankymole]

Has anyone else noticed the guards who live in little sheds and cupboards in various buildings around the settlements? Some even have roomy "garages" of their own (but featureless inside).

Normally the doors are tightly locked shut, but when the alarms have been sounded (even if later turned off) sometimes the doors pop open and the guards will shoot anyone who passes.

Weirdly they're usually sealed away with no other means of entry, so goodness know how the guards attend to bodily functions for most of the day.

If you go in and kill a guard, the doors will slam shut as soon as you leave the cubbyhole.

Weirdly, even in a criminal settlement, the guards will be squeaky-clean with no bounties. I think they may not even be on the Staff List, and I don't think they appear on Contacts on your HUD.

Remlok suits are incredible bits of technology.

They are elevators fed with drone soldiers

Maybe they are just an entrance and function like the elevator in stns and fleet carriers. Notice there is absolutely no way to override those elevators if you are locked out.

Having underground quarters secure from video gamers busting in shooting everything up would be a good idea. I'm not sure why they don't have equivalent good security measures on the rest of the base though.

Because they haven't studied this properly.

If you go into supercruise and come back, the base is full of guards again, so maybe they really are drones/clones produced from a printer underground somewhere.

The best part is when you shoot em in there and then the door closes! Automatic garage door closer!
