Fallout 3 Hints
Arlington Utility
1 of 9: This metro area has exits to Arlington Cemetery North (Arlington National Cemetery region) and the DCTA Tunnel 014-B Potomac metro area. This guided tour assumes you're entering from Arlington Cemetery North.
2 of 9: Go through the door in the starting corridor, then move down the left side of the track tunnel, looking for tin cans as you go. When you find a side passage, take it and move along until you reach a path split.
3 of 9: Go forward to find a room with bunk beds and misc. items, then go back the way you came and head up the stairs. Turn right past the stairs and fight some raiders, then check out the area that's above the bunk bed room to find jet, dirty water, and buffout on tables, plus a Big Guns skill book, med-x (2), rad-x, jet, and a pressure cooker on metal shelves.
4 of 9: Go back west a bit to find a room with lockers and a few more items to look through, plus a 10mm pistol and two ammo boxes inside a doorless fridge.
5 of 9: Down the passage west of that is a generator room with some stairs. Climb up them and kill the nearby raiders, then go through a door to find a room with a couple of radroaches and a toolbox on some metal shelves.
6 of 9: Go all the way back to the lower floor of the bunk bed room, then go through the doorway that leads to a cave tunnel. Watching for raiders, including one up on some boulders, enter the cave tunnel and go right to find some shelves with booze and a first aid box on them.
7 of 9: Moving on past that, you'll find more shelves with an ammo box on them, followed by a bunk bed area. Keep fighting raiders as you move on down to where the cave tunnel ends and a large sewer tunnel begins.
8 of 9: Raiders are fighting mirelurks in that area, so help them kill each other off. After that, search near the cinderblock barrier for an assault rifle, two stimpaks, and two ammo boxes. You can find a first aid box and some .32 rounds behind the nearest sandbag wall, and a hunting rifle and ammo box behind the other sandbag wall. There are also some unbent tin cans lying around.
9 of 9: Go down the tunnel past the cinderblock barrier to find some radioactive water, a few mirelurk egg clutches, a "grenade bouquet" trap (disarm or avoid), and the door that leads to the DCTA Tunnel 014-B Potomac metro area.
