Seward Square

Seward Square is an area of downtown Washington, D.C. The compound of Reilly's Rangers is located here.

Layout
Seward Square can be reached in multiple ways; through Anacostia Crossing Station, via a sewer system from Pennsylvania Ave, or through The Capitol Building from The Mall. A battle between Talon Company mercs and Super Mutants will be taking place on the Capitol Building's steps, with exploding cars in the crossfire. To the east of the subway station, near the Ranger compound, is also the location of a scripted Enclave Vertibird drop-off with a sentry bot.

Points of interest

 * The Capitol Building in the west, near the Seward Sq. Northwest map marker. This entrance to the Capitol Building is also the fastest way to reach the Presidential metro train to return to Adams Air Force Base. Note that the presidential metro and Adams Air Force Base only available with Broken Steel add-on, and the shortcut is only available after the completion of Who Dares Wins.
 * An office building near the Penn Ave Seward Square Metro.
 * A sky bridge east of the Capitol Building, accessible via the office building, has a switch which will call in artillery to be fired across the square. A sniper guards the switch.
 * A wasteland preacher standing on the 2nd floor of a building, ranting about the apocalypse. (B)
 * With Broken Steel, a small sandbag fort with additional Talon Company mercs will appear in Seward Square Northwest, on the eastern side against a building, across from the battlefield where super mutants and Talon Company fight it out.

Inhabitants

 * The Preacher
 * Reilly's Rangers

Loot

 * Pulowski Preservation shelter with Lying, Congressional Style near The Capitol Building (A).
 * If one kills the mad preacher before he detonates the explosives, there are 5 mini nukes in the area below him. The first is directly under The Preacher's building on a pile of rubble. The second and third are under two barrels next to the slide. The fourth is in a shopping cart near the same slide. The fifth is on the merry-go-round. If one has Dogmeat as their companion, having him ferret out the nukes will save the player character a great deal of search time. There are also 5 inactive frag mines that can be picked up without fear.
 * Talon Company merc log: Found outside the Capitol Building, in Seward Square at a Talon Company camp, after completing the Take it Back! quest.
