2 of 13: This region contains several super mutants, including a behemoth, but it also has several Brotherhood of Steel guys to help you fight them. The tour starts at the Tenleytown/Friendship Station entrance.
3 of 13: Look for tin cans as you head up the stairs to street level, then look on the ground near the garbage can for an assault rifle and two ammo clips. From there, sneak-walk cautiously over to the nearby Pulowski Preservation Shelter so you can disarm the frag mine that's next to it.
4 of 13: Open the shelter to find a lead pipe and three bottles of purified water, then look around on the brown-brick area nearby to find two garbage cans and a tin can. Near the SW corner of the brown-brick area is a fire hydrant you can drink from.
5 of 13: Head east down the street to find the entrance to the Metro Junction area, plus one measly garbage can just NE of it. Go back the other way and prepare to start fighting super mutants.
6 of 13: Approach the corner that's between two old yellow cars and look SW to see two super mutants next to a building. You should be able to shoot them down easily without them getting very many shots off at you. After they're dead, go search their bodies, and check next to the building to find three boxes of .32 caliber ammo.
7 of 13: Find the makeshift pathway that starts just NE of their building and goes past a toilet and sink that you can drink from, then walk up to Sentinel Lyons and talk to her. After the conversation, look for a garbage can and trash bin as you follow her to where her comrades are gathered.
8 of 13: Search the dead initiate on the mattress to get power armor, a laser pistol, and some energy cells. Check near his body to get a power helmet and four more packs of energy cells.
9 of 13: Wait for the Brotherhood guys to stop talking and run on ahead to the next area, then follow them at a safe distance. You can either help them take down super mutants for extra XP, or you can just let them do all the work for you. Don't forget to loot super mutant bodies as you come across them.
10 of 13: Follow the Brotherhood into the Early Dawn Elementary building, then search it thoroughly for items.
12 of 13: After the behemoth is dead, raid its body for lots of good stuff, then go get the fat man and mini nukes from the dead guy near the fountain if you didn't already. Also, check the two garbage cans next to the fountain, and look around for other dead super mutants and Brotherhood guys to raid. (Remember to save any Brotherhood of Steel holotags you find for when you get into the Citadel later.)
13 of 13: And that about does it. You've completely conquered the outdoor Chevy Chase region, and can move on to another region, or continue on the Main Quest series (which you've made some progress on, in case you haven't noticed).
