Chryslus Building

The Chryslus Building is a ruin of a large office building located in the Capital Wasteland, on the outskirts of Downtown DC. It was the head office of Chryslus Motors, which manufactured automobiles before the Great War of 2077. At the time, Chryslus was promoting the $199,999.99 Corvega, which was produced at the Corvega Factory, located southwest of Vault 108.

In the years since the war, it has become a stronghold for Super mutants and Centaurs.

Enemies

 * There are a total of 16-20 super mutants in the upper & lower offices, as well as 2 Vicious Dogs.
 * There are 6-8 Centaurs in the basement.

Reception Area:

 * A Guns and Bullets skill book and a Scoped .44 Magnum can be found in the northern part, behind an average level terminal-locked door next to an ammunition box on a table. (It is located in the same room as the Nuka-Cola Vending Machine.)
 * A Nuka-Cola Quantum can be found in a crate under a desk in a small room west of the entrance. In order to access this desk, it is through a hole in the left wall and is mostly filled with collapsed ceiling debris.

Lower Offices:

 * A Pugilism Illustrated can be found in the upstairs area, close to a Nuka-Cola machine; look in the row of buckets lined up against the wall on the counter.
 * A Pre-War Book is behind the locked door directly north of the Pugilism book.
 * A Stealth Boy is on top of a table, next to a telephone, in one of the rooms without a ceiling on the lower floor.

Basement Area:

 * A Big Book of Science skill book is in the western-most room on a metal shelf.
 * A Stealth Boy is on top of the large safe in the northern room, which contains ammo, some caps, and a weapon; also in that room is a terminal that unlocks a smaller safe with a Stealth Boy in it [or not; as usual, contents of safes vary with Level, etc.).

In General:
Plus 8+ dog meat can be found throughout the building.
 * The Chryslus building is unusually rich in some of the more common types of loot. Pre-war money, Nuka-Cola just lying on the ground, various schematic components, and even 7+ strange meat can be found.

Points Of Interest

 * North of the Chryslus Building is The Raid Shack.
 * Right behind the building itself there is a baseball field, in it two raiders will spawn. One, on the pitchers mound, will be equipped with frag grenades and the other, on home plate with a baseball bat. They don't actually throw and hit the grenades but just stand there till they detect and attack you.
 * Just South (look directly from the entrance) there is a random encounter location.

Enclave
North east of the Chryslus Building is an Enclave Outpost that seems to be overrun by raiders. This outpost only appears after The Waters of Life quest. You'll see a transmitter tower on top of a building when you get close. The raiders seem to have split the Enclave loot amongst themselves, as some are wearing Enclave Power Helmets and some are wearing Enclave Power Armor.

South East of the Chryslus Building a Vertibird will land and deploy Enclave troops on a bridge, usually one soldier and one robot. Below this bridge is a shelter with chems, and a statue head. There is also an excessive quantity of plungers.

Near the shelter and bridge will be a super mutant camp. Inside on the left are 3 ammunition cases one with an average lock, a mini nuke, and assorted medical and chem supplies. Super mutant overlords can be found here if you have a high level and Broken Steel installed.
