Farragut West Metro Station

 is a Metro tunnel access point located on the northern outskirts of Washington, D.C., near the river Potomac.

Layout
The open area of the station is typically the first metro most players go into with a fight typically occurring between a group of Raiders, 2 Super mutants from across the river, that are heavily armed with a Missle launcher or a Minigun and an Assault rifle and occasionally a third, random party, depending on the Random encounter, it is best advised to simply head into the metro to avoid heavy damage or wait until one of the parties is killed off and finish off the other (or others) if conflict cannot be avoided or for their equipment.

Location
To the east of Super-Duper Mart and north of Wilhelm's Wharf, across the river from both.

Notable Loot

 * A Duck and Cover! in a shelter under an intact bridge (slightly past the broken one with raiders). Turn around after leaving the station and head northwest. The skill book is sitting on a table with 2 frag grenades. There is a landmine on the ground near the area. Be careful not to set it off, as it may knock the skill book off the table, making it difficult to find.
 * A U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes book behind a medium locked door, just below the Metro Utility gate and door, 3 pre-War books can also be found in the same room.
 * A Nikola Tesla and You book in the safe in the office just before the Metro Utility gate.

Behind the scenes
