Fallout 3 Hints
East Half Loot Tips
1 of 7: There's nothing near the Capitol Building (except dead bodies), so start your search in the trenches that are to the west of it.
2 of 7: Go to a spot in the trench that's a ways almost directly south of the National Archives entrance, and a short way NE of the Museum of Technology Atrium entrance (check your local area map). There, you'll find two beds to sleep on, a first aid box on a table, and three ammo boxes on the ground.
3 of 7: That's it for that trench, so get up on higher ground and head over to the National Archives side area.
4 of 7: A little bit SW of the National Archives side area is a large pit with a path leading down into it. Move down the path carefully, watching for a hanging "bouquet" of frag grenades that you can claim if your Explosives skill is high enough. At the bottom is a door leading into the Bunker area.
5 of 7: West of the entrance to the Museum of Technology Atrium, look in the side area where you killed two mutants to find five gore bags and the remains of two wastelanders to search.
6 of 7: From there, go NE and around the rubble to where you can get back up onto the hill with the sandbag walls that you used as a sniper perch earlier. From it, drop down into the trench next to a door to the Bunker area.
