Fallout 3 Hints

The easiest way to find the crash site is to fast travel to MDPL-13 power station , and find the power lines heading north. Follow the power lines until you pick up the "Recon Craft Theta" radio signal. Then turn facing east following the power lines. When you start taking radiation (1rad/sec) you should be close enough to see the crash site. The alien craft is easier spotted during the day.

NOTE:

At the crash site , is a very powerful alien weapon "alien blaster" and 110 alien power cells. These cells are very rare to find in-game.

Since the crash site is available any time during the game , it makes for a very attractive place to discover at the very beginning of the game , and could be the first destination after reaching megaton. Making the strenght of the weapon extrmely useful for low-level characters allowing you to breeze through the first half of the game.

The radiation coming from the crash site is rather low , and shouldn't become a problem since finding the crash site and the items will be done rather quickly , radiation poisoning shouldn't be a problem.

Dogmeat can be used to retrieve the weapon and ammo.

This is a very nice .44m rifle, you can find it in the museum of history, when you first enter, go straight into the huge room with the mammoth in it, and turn left, you'll c a door, enter it, but b4 u do, u might want a machine gun, and a .32 rifle, theres alot of feral ghouls and glowing ones down there, so bring alot of ammo. when you enter the door you'll c sum stairs, after u kill all the ghouls, go up them and you'll c wat looks like a lunch room, go left and down the hall, you'll come up to hole in the wall, enter it and turn right, its in the display case. have fun with it.

They're in fort independence (south, SW of megaton). its in their weapon vault, one thing, u have to pick the lock to it, its hard so, u might not b able to do it. but once u get in there, take a left and turn into the only door u can and go down the stairs and enter the door at the botttom, then you'll come up to a door the nedds to be hacked, jus go into the desk nect to it and get the access code thats in it, also, they're going to attack u on sight, that also means n e outcasts u might find in the wastes 2, go down the spiral stairs and go through another door, then you'll come up to a split in the hallway, if u have good hacking skills take a left and find the turret control conseol, and deactivate it, but if not jus take the right and shoo them wahen u get 2 them. the armory is at the bottom of the stairs and is the right door, the left door is some doctors room. once you pick the lock to weapon armory, you'll find alot of guns along with the alien power cells found in the ammo boxes on the table.

Dog meat is found in scrap yard. On the world map is on the top right corner of the square that is two squares below the mine field. Follow the clear triangle on your compass if you are having problems finding it. Go into the scrap yard and look or listen for fighting. You will find dog meat fighting a Raider. Once the Raider is dead you can talk to dog meat and ask him to join you.
