L.O.B. Enterprises

L.O.B. Enterprises is an explorable building in Fallout 3, located in Falls Church. It can be reached by traveling through Grayditch, then to Marigold Metro Station, to reach the Falls Church/Mason Dst Metro, then head east, where it's right next to the Falls Church East map marker.

Layout
It is divided into three areas: the main area, East Wing, and Enterprises Archives. The building continues to be occupied by military robots after it was invaded by federal security agencies. To get here just go to the North wing and head East and its right there.

Background
The company itself was involved with China before the war, developing a new incendiary sidearm for them (known as Project Zhu-Rong). Rumors arose and subsequently spread of their activities, as one would expect, and L.O.B. Enterprises soon came under federal scrutiny as political tensions rose between the United States and China before the bombs fell. As a result of this, its employees were required to carry low-grade military weapons at all times and received training in the event of a federal invasion or nuclear exchange.

In 2077, shortly after Project Zhu-Rong's completion, the building was invaded by U.S. military security forces, comprised mostly of robots. Most of the employees of L.O.B. Enterprises safely evacuated the building in time, forcing a lock-down of the facility pending further federal investigation. However, the War broke out in 2077 and the U.S. military robots remained inside, keeping the premises secure without fail for over two hundred years since that time.

Notable Loot

 * It should be noted that this building (especially the Archives section) contains a lot of components for custom weapons.
