Scrapyard

The scrapyard is a salvage yard in the Capital Wasteland. Aside from heaps of junk vehicles, it is the place where Dogmeat will first be encountered, fighting a small band of raiders. With the Contract Killer perk, the Littlehorn & Associates office will also be found in a shack just inside the south facing entrance.

Layout
It is located south of Minefield and northeast of Vault 101, past the Potomac River. Specifically, it is almost exactly four squares north and three east of Vault 101.

Looping along the south side of the scrapyard is an elevated railway which, along with bordering roads, puts it in a makeshift depression. Even further south is simply geography sloping downwards into the river basin.

The scrapyard can be entered through several breaches in the southwest, west, or north sides or through multiple gates on the south side.

Notable loot

 * Near the side entrance steps of a bus in the northwestern part of the Scrapyard there is an ammunition box named John's Treasure Box (P on map) containing Grognak the Barbarian, Guns and Bullets, and U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes. You must have a Lockpick skill of at least 75 to open the box. The other way to open it is to obtain John's key, which is available in a random encounter.
 * Lying, Congressional Style is obtainable in the scrapyard office. The office will be open only if you have the Contract Killer perk.

Appearances
Scrapyard appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * It is possible for Dogmeat to push a car away just by making contact with it. This does not seem to have any consequence, except for the car being misplaced from its original spot.
 * It is possible for Dogmeat's encounter with the raiders not to happen. This is easily resolved by fast-traveling to a different location and returning.
