Adams Air Force Base

 is a heavily fortified, Enclave settlement outside the Capital Wasteland which is accessible to the player via downloading the Broken Steel downloadable content for Fallout 3. The player will be guided there by map marker via the Presidential Metro Line located under the ruins of the White House after activating the Who Dares Wins quest line. The player will have the opportunity for the first time to ride a train in the game, as a train takes you to the air force base from the presidential metro. Adams Air Force Base is a separate, new area outside of the Capitol Wasteland. When looking at the map, it appears to be as big as the last two previous DLC locations for Fallout 3 (the Pitt and Operation Anchorage). NOTE: The player must defeat the main quest before being able to access Adams Air Force Base, along with started the Broken Steel quest line.

Adams Air Force Base is the last remaining Enclave settlement left in Fallout 3 after the player destroys Raven Rock and defeats the Project Purity quest that ends the game. A point will come in the game (during the Who Dares Wins quest) where the player is sent to wipe out the remaining Enclave soldiers in the Capitol Wasteland at Adams Air Force Base. The base contains several new Enclave soldiers, including the devastating Enclave Hellfire Trooper, as well as standard defenses such as Sentry Bots and turrets.

Upon arrival to Adam's Air Force base, the player will be given the Tesla Cannon, and new powerful energy weapon that drains the life of all unit's it strikes, to clear out the remaining Enclave forces at the air force base. It is recommended that the player brings an adequate amount of supplies and weapons before wiping out the base, as there are at least 30 Enclave Soldiers to kill.

Vertibirds
For the first time in Fallout 3, the player will not only get to see an Enclave Vertibird up close, but get the opportunity to ride a high jacked one at the end of the Broken Steel quest line when escaping from Adams Air Force Base. Heavy weapon users will have several opportunities to destroy Vertibirds as well (if using a high powered weapon such as the Experimental MIRV that is strong enough to wipe out a vertibird).
