Fallout 3 Hints
Trap Tips
1 of 5: The first traps are three frag mines that are set just past the ammo stash, where the tunnel curves.
2 of 5: You could have your Pip-Boy's light on and proceed slowly so you can see and shoot them out before coming into their range.
3 of 5: A better way is to use the info in the Trap Tips to deactivate and take them.
4 of 5: Just past the mines is a tripwire set across the center of the tunnel.
5 of 5: If you hit it, a "grenade bouquet" will drop and explode in a few seconds. Either disarm the tripwire (and the bouquet if possible) or run through it and quickly onward.
