Fallout 3 Hints
Trench Loot
1 of 8: Look on the sandbag walls near the Bunker door to find a dead Brotherhood of Steel Initiate that you can raid. (Note that all holotags should be kept for when you gain access to the Citadel.)
2 of 8: On the ground next to the dead initiate is a laser pistol and two packs of energy cell ammo.
3 of 8: Move down the trench until you come to some stairs on your left. Climb them to reach a metal barricade wall with another dead initiate slumped over it.
4 of 8: Get the four microfusion cell packs from the ground next to him, then go around to the front of the barricade wall to find a laser rifle and two more cell packs on the ground.
5 of 8: Go back down the stairs and continue down the trench until it splits.
6 of 8: Go left to find some tin cans and a whiskey bottle on the ground, followed by a "grenade bouquet" trap under a wooden-plank bridge.
7 of 8: Past that is another dead initiate that you can raid for power armor and a holotag.
8 of 8: Leave the trench by using the sloping path that's near where you found the tin cans and whiskey bottle.
