Fallout 3 Hints
Raider Side Area Tips
1 of 10: See if you can get sneak-attack hits on any raiders, then quickly retreat back to the bridge area to see how many raiders will come to you. You should be able to get at least two of them this way.
2 of 10: Past the alley is an area with a tree and some picnic tables. Look on the right (south) for a garbage can, and on the left for the door to Lady Frumperton's Fashions.
3 of 10: On the ground a short way east of that door is a frag mine. Sneak up to it and disarm it, then search the rubble to the NE carefully to find two more, plus another one in the street past the rubble. (If a raider sees you while you're mine-finding, quickly retreat to the alley and shoot him down before continuing.)
4 of 10: After that's done, check the NE side area to find a door to the Dry Sewer, then sneak-walk back to where you can see the building doorway that's next to the barricade wall. If two raiders don't walk out through that doorway soon, sneak through it and see where they are.
5 of 10: Sneak out the back of that building and turn left to find a large doorway that leads into another building. As you enter it, look over to the stairs on the right for raiders. If you can't see any, you may want to fire off a shot to get them to come to you. You should get at least two more this way.
6 of 10: While keeping a sharp eye out for raiders, climb up the stairs and check the filing cabinets on the building's second floor, then go up the stairs to the third floor and see if you can shoot any raiders through its windows.
7 of 10: After you've gotten all the raiders you can in that building, return to its second floor and jump through the window has a large wooden ramp leading from it to another building's second floor.
8 of 10: Look around to find three mattresses you can sleep on, plus some metal shelves and wooden shelves. There's a small wooden crate with items in it on the metal shelves, and a lawn mower blade on the floor next to them.
9 of 10: The wooden shelves have a first aid box, 10mm pistol, psycho, pre-war book, and med-x on them. There's also an ammo box on the floor to the left of them, and a stealth boy on the floor to the right of them.
10 of 10: Go down the stairs to find a desk and some filing cabinets, then go through the doorway to find a Pulowski Preservation Shelter with a .32 pistol, a stimpak, and a lunchbox in it. Go through the doorway to the left of the shelter and up some stairs to find a desk to search, then go back down to the shelter.
