The Main Gate

Overview

The Main Gate is the primary controlled entrance into Bonetown. It is the player’s first direct encounter with the settlement’s security and establishes that access is governed by Baron Marcus Cross rather than offered freely.

Bonetown first became accessible through this entrance in version 0.15.

Entering Bonetown

Access to the gate is unlocked through the questline that leads to the discovery of Bonetown. Once the gate event is available, the guards determine whether an entrant has acceptable authorization or status.

Bonetown’s documented entry rules recognize proper authorization and visible ownership markers such as collars. Unauthorized free travelers can be refused entry and threatened with violence or enslavement.

Gate guards

Hawk

Hawk is a gate guard stationed at the entrance. He is professional, vigilant, and uncompromising when enforcing Bonetown’s rules.

Crow

Crow works alongside Hawk as part of the gate security detail.

The Yard-Dogs

The gate is controlled by the Yard-Dogs, Bonetown’s city watch and riot-control force. They serve Baron Marcus Cross as gate guards, tax collectors, and district patrols.

Their equipment commonly includes:

• Heavy distressed leather armor.
• Scrap-metal and tire-tread protection.
• Metal face cages or muzzles and welder goggles.
• Chains, stun batons, and rusty shotguns.

The Main Gate demonstrates how Cross controls Bonetown through access, intimidation, and the visible threat of force.
