The Pitt (Fallout 3)

For the DLC pack, see The Pitt (DLC).

The Pitt is an industrial raider town located in the remains of Pittsburgh, about 500 kilometers to the northwest of Capital Wasteland. It is a place where three irradiated rivers come together and many of the towns inhabitants are mutated.

History
The Pitt was originally a place of pure chaos, full of rape gangs and torture squads. As part of the early recon when the Brotherhood of Steel first arrived in the East Coast area, Owyn Lyons led his paladins in an attack against the Pitt from over Mount Wash, later called "The Scourge". Even though they were completely outnumbered, they still razed that place to the ground.

As they swept through, the Brotherhood policed up every non-mutated child they could find, of which there were around twenty. Lyons brought the children back to the Citadel, which was still under construction, and enlisted them into the Capital Wasteland Brotherhood of Steel. One of these children grew up to be Paladin Kodiak.

While not as much of a threat as before the Scourge, the Pitt is still a center of raider and slaver activity.

Appearances
The Pitt was only mentioned in Fallout 3 and will appear in the Fallout 3 downloadable content pack also titled The Pitt. A holotape found in Rockopolis reveals that slavers have taken the entire population of Rockopolis to the Pitt to be sold as slaves. This Downloadable content will be available on February 15, 2009.

NOTE: It is rumoured that this second DLC will be delayed
