Scrapyard

Scrapyard is a location between Vault 101 and Minefield. It is roughly midway and slightly to the southeast.

The Scrapyard can be entered through several breaches in the southwest, west, or north sides or through a gate on the south side.

In the northeast corner of scrapyard Dogmeat_(Fallout_3) can be found fighting bandits. You will hear gunfire as you near this location.

Entrances near the southwest including the south gate will trigger a scripted event where a woman (wastelander) will approach you and tell you bandits have strapped explosives to her. You have the option to attempt to disarm the explosives or leave her. The skill test for this appears to be fairly high (50 or higher explosives?).

If you fail to disarm the explosive, she will start beeping and run away, then explode. After she explodes, the bandits will approach. One of these bandits has a Flamer. The rest have small arms and melee weapons.

This area has several radioactive pools that can be avoided, but appears to be empty of useful items.
