The Pitt Underground

The Pitt underground is an area in the Fallout 3 add-on The Pitt and contains the power plant. It can be accessed from the steelyard, near a wrecked train entering an inaccessible metro tunnel. The second exit leads to Haven's courtyard in Uptown.

Layout
Both entrances are initially locked or closed. The manhole in the steelyard can be opened with the power plant key whereas the doors in the floor between the underground and Uptown can only be opened if the Lone Wanderer assists Wernher in Free Labor. If the player character does not assist Wernher, the key can still be found on the desk in his hideout and on Wernher's body if the player character kills him.

Once acquiring the key to the manhole in the steelyard, the door in Uptown close to the Haven will be unlocked, but in here only the first room is accessible from Uptown. The way is blocked and can only be opened from the underground via the steelyard. There are trogs in the area, sometimes spawning behind the player character near the Uptown exit if the broken terminal is accessed.

Turning off the floodlights here will cause trogs to swarm Uptown and attack the Pitt raiders. This will also turn Ashur hostile to the Lone Wanderer even if the player character has earlier stopped Wernher.

Notable loot

 * Factory employee ID - On the base of the switchboard channel, in the area with the two yellow factory protectrons.

Appearances
The Pitt underground appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on The Pitt.

Bugs
Sometimes the game freezes when you enter the manhole the first time from the Steelyard. If the same thing happens again and again, it can be fixed by entering from Uptown and then going back to enter from the steelyard.
