Bethesda Ruins



The Bethesda Ruins are located north east of Vault 101 across the river. This entirely hostile raider-infested area is composed of a two-map dual office building - Bethesda Offices East and West - linked by a catwalk and a monorail entrance. To the northeast area of the Bethesda Ruins East Office you will find an underground passage called Bethesda Underworks, which you can also enter via manhole located to the southwest of Bethesda Ruins West Office.

Reports say that the raiders in this region are well equipped. Rumor has it they have flamers in their possesion. Also reported are Sniper Rifles and Chinese Assault Rifles.

The Lockpick Bobblehead is located in Bethesda Offices East.

On the big curved desk in the main lobby of Bethesda Offices West can be found a Big Book of Science. Also in Bethesda Offices West is a trio of rigged shotguns, which can be disarmed to give you three Combat Shotguns for free.

There is also a hidden book amongst the debris that hints to a possible expansion pack or DLC. (Note: No one seems to know exactly where this "book" is. Perhaps a hoax?)

You may find a note on a wastelander's corpse that apoligizes to a brother and says that something is left in the northeast of the scrapyard north of Bethesda ruins in an old burned out bus. The bus contains a Grognak the barbarian comic, as well as two books which add +1 bonus to gun skills.
