Presidential Metro



The Presidential metro is a network of pre-war Metro tunnels that connected various government buildings in the DC area, including the White House, the Capitol Building and Adams Air Force Base. It was added to Fallout 3 in the Broken Steel add-on.

Layout
It connects the Presidential sub level beneath the White House with Adams Air Force Base and the Capitol building's East Wing. An automated defense system is headed by a pre-ZAX technology computer system called Metro Authority Rapid Governmental transit System. M.A.R.Go.T. controls the trains, robots, and other maintenance personnel. The area is guarded by sentry bots and swarming with ghouls. At higher levels, multiple feral ghoul reavers will be present.

Notable loot

 * Nuka-Cola Quantum in the Equipment Room, which connects the western and eastern lines.
 * A police hat can be found near M.A.R.Go.T. in the room you first meet her, and another by a skeleton by a caved-in area to the right when you first encounter the ghouls.
 * A single mini nuke located in a half-buried train car at a tunnel dead-end.
 * Upwards of 20 pieces of Scrap metal on shelves, in containers, and by the side of train tracks throughout the metro.

Related quests

 * The Sorrowful Suitor: A holotape titled "Sorry, my darling" can be found on a bench near the exit to the Capitol building. The holotape begins the quest.

Appearances
The Presidential metro appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel.

Behind the scenes
undefined End
 * The cutscene in which you travel through the subway on the train isn't actually a train. The game equips you with a massive piece of headgear that resembles the inside of the train, with your player character running along the track at very high speed, simulating that you're moving through the subway on a train.
 * The system concept and station design is based on the Capitol Subway.

Bugs

 * Occasionally when the Reaver is killed it may fling back down the hall where it came from.
 * Reavers in this area may be affected by a physics bug that causes them to jitter and shake rapidly. This makes them very difficult to target and rounds often pass through them without dealing any damage, even inside VATS. This may be related to the aforementioned bug, as when killed they often fly some distance. Explosives still have full effect.
