Fallout 3 Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

Access the VSS Armory.

  • 1 of 8: Get out of the simulation pod, then follow Protector McGraw to the armory door, where everyone else is waiting for you.
  • 2 of 8: That's actually a bad thing, since most of them will turn hostile to you soon after you open that door. The two that don't won't be enough to finish the others off for you.
  • 3 of 8: You could take the elevator back to the surface and go do other things, like build up your character and get better weapons, then come back. The outcasts will still be waiting patiently by the armory door.
  • 4 of 8: You could also lay a bunch of frag mines somewhere away from the group, then lead the hostile outcasts through your minefield after they kill your allies.
  • 5 of 8: However, the best option by far is to get the mesmetron and use it to frenzy all of the outcasts (except McGraw and Olin) one by one, forcing the other outcasts to kill them. See the frenzy tip in the quest notes for the misc. quest "Strictly Business" in the main Fallout 3 hint file.
  • 6 of 8: NOTE: You only need to frenzy-kill Defender Sibley to prevent the uprising, though you'll probably want to also do the others for more fun and loot.
  • 7 of 8: Once Olin and McGraw are the only ones left (or maybe not even them), use the terminal that's to the right of the armory door to open it.
  • 8 of 8: Go through the door and start looting the place. There's winterized T-51b power armor, Jingwei's special shocksword, a gauss rifle, and lots of other good stuff to be had.
