Fallout 3 Hints

West-Side Area Notes

  • 1 of 9: At the four-way path intersection, head right (north) to find a small room with lockers to search, a sink you can drink from, abraxo cleaner on top of the left toilet, a first aid box and stimpak on the table, and two crutches under the table.
  • 2 of 9: Return to the path split and head south, then turn left to find a room with a very large generator in it. Go along the right side of the generator to find a toolbox, wonderglue, and a Repair skill book called "Dean's Electronics."
  • 3 of 9: Go back to where you turned left and go the other way to find a room with a desk and some filing cabinets to search.
  • 4 of 9: Go west from the four-way path intersection to reach a dirty kitchen/quarters area with numerous supplies.
  • 5 of 9: On the counter to the right of where you enter is a lawn mower blade. To the left of that is a refrigerator with some irradiated food items in it.
  • 6 of 9: On one of the shelves next to the central pillar is a vacuum cleaner and bottles of vodka and whiskey. On the floor to the left of those shelves are a couple of crunchy mutfruit items. On the other side of the pillar are shelves with a pressure cooker on them.
  • 7 of 9: Along the north wall are some shelves with metal boxes on them. To the left of that are two bunk beds with wooden shelves in between them.
  • 8 of 9: There are footlockers at the foot of each bunk bed. The shelves have another footlocker on them, plus a pre-war book, an assault rifle, and a leather belt.
  • 9 of 9: Look to the left of the left-hand bunk beds to find a locked floor safe, and shelves with metal boxes and a pack of darts on them. (Note that Rocksalt's key will open the floor safe.)
