Hollowed-Out Rock (Fallout 3)

The  is a secret stash where you can obtain a Sniper Rifle and other various items that might be useful early in the game.

Layout
Hallowed-Out Rock is just ordinary rocks that can be found anywhere in Capital Wasteland. To verify it, move your crosshair across the alleged rock, and you will see message prompting you to activate it.

The location is around the back of Megaton. Usually you will be attacked by three Mole Rats very close to the end. (The Local Map is not that useful on the Xbox because most of it is blacked out. On the World Map, the rock is just West of due South of the Megaton icon, about 3/4ths of the way down the grid square.)

Noteable Loot

 * Sniper Rifle and ammunition
 * Variable amount of .308 Caliber Rounds
 * Stealth Boy
 * A note, As Requested

Behind the scenes

 * The rock contains a note saying

This is a clear easter egg in reference to a similar cache one can find in the Bloodmoon expansion of the Bethesda game Morrowind where a "Hollow Treestump" behind the Thirsk mead-hall contains a "Blood-Stained Note" with the message.


 * The concept of a hollowed-out rock was also employed in the Oblivion side-quest "Renegade Shadowscale" in which the target of the assassination has his treasure stashed in a hollowed-out rock.
