Point Lookout Lighthouse

The Lighthouse is a location in Point Lookout.

Layout
The Lighthouse is a cylindrical structure with some small, but notable stashes of loot. The interior of the lighthouse has a long staircase that leads up to the top that is littered with the skeletons of what appear to be tourists to Point Lookout (the cameras surrounding some of the bodies suggest this). However, once smugglers occupy the Lighthouse, the staircase can become treacherous as they will shoot down the staircase if they spot you. The most notable location of the building is the basement which it is necessary to go into during "A Meeting of the Minds".

Notable loot
After smugglers take over the residence,(they will arrive after being there for at least one time then coming back) the following can be found within the lighthouse parameter:
 * During "Meeting of the Minds" you are able to go into the basement of the Lighthouse. Scattered throughout the basement are the rare Mesmetron power cells.
 * Once the smugglers occupy the building, a considerable amount of missiles and missile launchers can be found. Of note, under the outside staircase that leads to the light mechanism.
 * South of the Lighthouse is an island with a smuggler holding a sniper rifle and three ammunition boxes.
 * Three Pre-War books in a room with an active computer terminal and lockers. Also in this room is an average locked safe.
 * The microwave emitter in a room at the end of the quest.
 * One missile launcher at the top of the staircase.
 * 4 missiles within a locked ammunition box and 1 within a non-locked ammunition box.
 * 10 missiles, another missile launcher with 4 first aid boxes are at the very top of the lighthouse (behind the staircase to where the light bulb fixture can be replaced)

Bugs
Despite successfully hacking the computer terminal on the reception desk and deactivating the turrets, they will still act hostile when in view.

Picking up the camera at the top of the stairs inside of the lighthouse and dropping it down the center of the staircase will sometimes cause the camera to fall from the ceiling back down to where it was first placed.

Appearances
The Point Lookout Lighthouse appears in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.
