Fallout 3 Hints
Starting Area Notes
1 of 10: In the approximate center of the west wall is a water fountain. It'll restore quite a bit of health while only doing a little radiation damage.
2 of 10: A bit farther down on the same wall, near the turnstiles, is an Eat'o'tronic 3000 gadget. Activate it to open it, then take the three irradiated food items from inside it (plus one from on the floor nearby).
3 of 10: Between the fountain and Eat'o'tronic 3000 is an open door leading to a room with a filing cabinet, desk, and dead mercenary to search.
4 of 10: On the wooden shelves near the desk are a leaf blower, a leather belt, three cherry bombs, a firehose nozzle, and a stimpak.
5 of 10: In the adjacent room are some lockers, a trunk, a desk, and a locked safe near the desk that you can loot. If you can't pick the safe's lock, try hacking the desk terminal and opening the safe from there.
6 of 10: There's also a lunchbox on the desk, plus a suitcase, three turpentine cans, two toy cars, a steam gauge assembly, a sensor module, radaway, and rad-x items on the wooden shelves.
7 of 10: And don't miss the "Grognak the Barbarian" Melee Weapons skill book. It's setting on the top left shelf in the set of lockers.
8 of 10: Leave those rooms and go across the hall to find doors to two bathrooms.
9 of 10: The left one has a garbage can, three sinks you can drink from, and an assault rifle in the back left toilet stall.
10 of 10: The other one has a garbage can and three drink-sinks, plus a first aid box on the wall near the leftmost sink.
