Super-Duper Mart (Fallout 3)

Super-Duper Mart (Reference ID=54fba) is a big-box store with at least one store in the Capital Wasteland near Megaton. These stores have food and medicine, as well as Nuka-Cola as seen in advertisements from before the Great War. The Super-Duper Mart was one of the test sites for the Nuka-Cola Quantum product launch, as noted in the terminal at the Nuka-Cola Plant. This explains why there are several Nuka-Colas and Nuka-Cola Quantums in the back room.


 * This is a likely place to have a Random Encounter.

Interior
Raiders call this store home and have made makeshift bridges over the aisles to help defend it.

To get into the back room, either hack the terminal, pick the lock on the door, or find the Super-Duper Pharmacy key.

The Super-Duper Pharmacy key can be found in one of the metal box where the refrigerator with all the food in is

There is also a Protectron robot in the back room that, if hacked, will protect you from the Raiders (provided you are wearing an employee id tag, which can be found atop the terminal).

Also, if you go into the back-room pharmacy, it will trigger a group of Raiders to return and discover that, "something's not right here," they will attack you, making the Protectron robot valuable protection. If you pickup all the loot and ammo you should have 6 mines in your inventory (3 bottlecap, 3 frag), you can use this time to place them on the cross walks, then head into the pharmacy and have a big fat surprise waiting for the raiders when you come out.

After clearing the Raiders, many players use the Super-Duper Mart to store their valuables, as items do not disappear from containers. Additionally, there is an easily accessible bed in the pharmacy which is good for healing.

Surrounding Area
If you follow the road half way between Springvale and Super-Duper Mart there is a ruined house containing Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual on a short bookshelf and some ammo. Head down the hill towards a small bridge. There's a wrecked boat near a pier that has some health supplies and ammo. From the boat to northwest or from the mailbox of the ruined house to north-northeast on the river bank is a cache of Mirelurk Eggs. When you come by the cache, the Mirelurks might not be there (on a hunting trip somewhere else, perhaps), giving you trouble free looting. Looting each egg clutch and individual egg yields at least 77 Hatchling Mirelurk Meat, 17 Mirelurk Meat and 9 Softshell Mirelurk Meat.

Then, head under the bridge, where there's an abandoned lean-to that has a frag mine (armed), a bed, 6 Frag Grenades, and a copy of Duck and Cover!. Turn back and head for the Super-Duper Mart after scooping up the loot.

East of Super-Duper Mart is Farragut West Metro Station, and entrance to the metro system and the eastern parts of Washington (including Galaxy News Radio).

Southeast of Super-Duper Mart is Wilhelm's Wharf with Sparkle, a trader. A little more south is Arlington/Wasteland Metro, a tunnel that leads to Arlington Cemetery (and into the metro).
