Fallout 3 Hints
Fort Bannister
1 of 6: This fort is at location 12 on the Zone 4 Map. It's the Talon Company HQ, so come ready to fight a lot of tough mercenaries.
2 of 6: After fighting your way through the mercs' exterior defenses, use your local area map to find the two entrances to the Fort Bannister Main area, and lockpick your way in through the southern one.
3 of 6: Inside, kill off the nearby mercs, then find the stairs on the sunken floor that lead up to a high-up walkway.
4 of 6: At the top of that walkway, go through the doorway and turn left.
5 of 6: After going down some stairs, you'll find a locked door.
6 of 6: If you can pick it open, you can claim the fat man from the room just past it, plus a mini nuke from the metal shelves.
