Fallout 3 Hints

Penn. Ave/The Mall Metro

  • 1 of 5: This metro area connects Penn. Ave South (Pennsylvania Avenue region) to The Mall Northeast (The Mall region). This guided tour assumes you're entering from Penn. Ave South.
  • 2 of 5: Look for tin cans and a water fountain as you head down the starting passage to some turnstiles.
  • 3 of 5: Past them, kill the ghoul and check all the locker sets, then go down the ramp to the mezzanine.
  • 4 of 5: Go up the ramp on the south side of the mezzanine's upper floor and look for a garbage can, an open Eat'o'Tronic 3000, and a vending machine.
  • 5 of 5: Past that is a metal gate that leads to The Mall Northeast.
