Wheaton Armory

Wheaton armory is a pre-War military armory in the Capital Wasteland $$

Layout
Located east of the Scrapyard, the armory consists of an underground bunker and a bombed-out office building across from it. A number of Raiders have occupied the building and the armory compound, including a raider armed with a Missile Launcher. The ruined office building has four stories. The second story can be accessed by climbing a slab of concrete and there are stairs to the third and fourth stories.

The bunker's entrance leads to a small room filled with radiation, ranging from 1-2 rads per second. It then opens to a silo room that allows the Lone Wanderer to go down through three floors. The bottom floor is a hatch for a missile launch. The missile's payload must have been damaged in some way, thereby flooding the area with radiation. A nearby bomb explosion may have caused this damage, evident by the appearance of the office building. At the bottom of the stairwell, there is a Turret guarding the armory. The armory door is locked with a Very Hard lock, or the door terminal can be hacked with a Science skill of 100. Other than the armory, a radio, a few lockers, and some old computing equipment can be found in the bunker.

Loot

 * U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes - Behind a locked door requiring a Lockpick skill of 100 (or Science skill of 100, for the corresponding terminal), at the far end of the hallway.
 * A substantial assortment of weapons, mines, grenades, and ammunition in the same room.
