Flooded Metro (exterior)

Minuteman Metro station (called the "Flooded Metro" in-game) is a metro station in the Capital Wasteland

Layout
The metro is marked in two places. The first marker is north of Arlington Cemetery (shortly southwest of Anchorage Memorial) is blocked by debris when going down the entrance ramp, but a door on the right takes you through offices and then maintenance tunnels which come out on tracks next to some stairs which go up to the Arlington Cemetery. (See Arlington/Wasteland Metro.)

The second marker is near the southern border of the map is west of Arlington Library (can be reached from Nuka-Cola Plant) and across the street (north) from a raider camp. This metro is mainly caved in, and is a maze of utility tunnels and shafts filled with mirelurks of all types. Heavy firepower may be necessary. It also has a very high complex of stairs leading downwards, breaking into small rooms near the beginning. Be warned that there is a shaft in the middle of this complex; resist the temptation to jump the railing, it's a long fall.

Notable loot

 * When entering from the south (not Mason District South), following the tunnel up right, the first room has a Guns and Bullets behind a transformer with a trail of blood going behind it, near a skeletal corpse. In the same spot is also a Scoped .44 magnum and some ammunition.
 * A Pulowski preservation shelter outside the metro near the south entrance (not Mason District South) contains a Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual.
 * Tumblers Today and Pugilism Illustrated in the Raider camp southeast of the southern entrance. Also a Nuka-Cola Quantum.
 * Near a shaft close to the Mason District, through a tunnel to the east, is a rigged shotgun booby-trapped chamber (A). On a barrel in this chamber is The Shocker with instructions. The chamber contains a Nuka-Cola Quantum lying on top of a gun cabinet, two ammunition boxes on the shelves next to the cabinet, and an average-locked safe at the base of the bed.
 * At the top of the middle shaft go west. You should see a water tank surrounded by a fence. Past the tank, on the right (B) is a small room with lockers. One of the open ones has RadAway and in a cabinet you will find a laser pistol with ammo.
 * At the bottom of the shaft behind the mirelurk egg clutch along the south wall is a gun case with a laser rifle and ammo.

Appearances
The Flooded Metro appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * This area has severe clipping issues (objects falling through floors etc.) that can occur anywhere. These include mirelurks randomly appearing.
