Scrapyard

The Scrapyard is a location in the Capital Wasteland. It is the place where the companion Dogmeat can be found with his previous owner.

Layout
It is located south of Minefield northeast of Vault 101, past the Potomac River. Specifically from Vault 101, on the map, it is 4 squares north and 3 squares east almost exactly. Looping along the south side of Scrapyard is an elevated railway which, along with bordering roads, puts Scrapyard in a makeshift depression. Even further south is simply geography sloping downwards into the river basin. The Scrapyard can be entered through several breaches in the southwest, west, or north sides or through multiple gates on the south side.

Notable loot

 * In the northwestern part of the Scrapyard are the remnants of a tour bus on the southwestern corner of a red box car. In that tour bus on the ground is an ammunition box with Grognak the Barbarian, Guns and Bullets, and U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes. You must have a lockpick skill of at least 75 to open the box. Or you can use "John's Key" that is obtained from a wastelander during a random encounter. After you kill the raiders after your encounter, you find Dogmeat! Now you can take him in as you companion or leave him there.

Appearances
Scrapyard appears only in Fallout 3

Bugs

 * It is possible for Fawkes to become stuck inside one of the many cars. To solve this, tell him to wait outside, fast-travel, or shoot him.
 * It is possible for you to become stuck inside one of the many cars. Saving, reloading, or fast traveling should fix this.
 * It is possible for Dogmeat (Fallout 3) to throw a car away by walking by. Is does not seem to have any consequence (except for the car to be far away from the place it was meant to be).
 * If John is killed, and you search his body, you will supposedly find a note. However this note cannot be found in your inventory.
