Fallout 3 Hints

Side Area Supplies

  • 1 of 8: In the first room past the door, search all the shelves that are along the room's walls.
  • 2 of 8: You'll find several metal boxes, a couple of mine boxes (one locked), and a toolbox.
  • 3 of 8: Go down the east passage to reach another room, where you'll need to be careful of the gas leak in the center of the room while fighting the resident fire ants. (Their fiery breath can ignite the gas, as can your guns.)
  • 4 of 8: Find the set of lockers along the east side of the room and examine them carefully.
  • 5 of 8: There are two frag grenades setting in one of the doorless lockers. You don't open a locker container to get them -- just pick them up.
  • 6 of 8: See if any of the locker containers have anything in them, then look along the south wall to find a table with a toolbox and a first aid box on it.
  • 7 of 8: To the right of that are some shelves with an ammunition box and a bundle of railway spikes. Look on the floor for some metal boxes to search.
  • 8 of 8: There are also three lawn mower blades here. One is in a small open crate on a shelf, one is on the floor next to the shelves, and one is inside the nearby lawnmower.
