Ranger Compound

The Ranger Compound is the headquarters of Reilly's Rangers in Fallout 3.

Location
It is located in Seward Square in the southeastern portion of the Capital Wasteland, accessible through the metro system and by going through Capital building by going through the east wing.

Directions

 * It's probably easiest to reach by entering Anacostia Metro Station at Anacostia Crossing (just north of Rivet City) and exiting at Seward Square (straight east, don't go down to the tracks). From the exit of the metro, head north past the Cornucopia grocery store and take the first alley to the east.  Follow it around and, after it hooks north, take the east passage and it will be on your left.

The Compound
The compound is within a partially destroyed building and is guarded by a camera and a computer terminal, however once you meet Reilly or save the Rangers in the Reilly's Rangers (quest) a simple interaction with the terminal unlocks the doors to the Ranger Compound. All items in the compound can be taken without incurring negative karma. There is also a bed and safe lockers. If you turn left after entering the compound, and then go straight, you enter the bed room / mess hall. There is a mattress on the floor on the right that you can use, and the locker against the wall on the right has been proven to be safe to store gear in. It is basically a safehouse.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the skill book Dean's Electronics can be stuck partially under the generator, making it nearly impossible to get. If you get this glitch reload the auto-save (the save that happened as you entered the compound). Also beware of going around the pipes to the right of the generator. If you go too far towards the wall you will get stuck behind the pipes and you cannot get back out again.
 * After you complete the Head of State quest you may encounter problems in fast-traveling to the Ranger Compound which results in your game freezing and forcing you to restart your console NOTE: It could also occur prior to completing the Head of State quest.
 * If you enter the compound to go claim your rewards with Fawkes, the Rangers will be in a hostile position but will not attack you, thus not allowing you to talk to them and not claim your rewards. To get past this you need to have Fawkes wait outside and then claim your reward.
