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.
 * It's probably easiest to reach by entering Anacostia Metro Station at Anacostia Crossing (just north Rivet City), exit at Seward Square (straight east, don't go down to the tracks) and take the short walk to the north.

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.

Characters

Bugs

 * Reilly's Rangers at the Ranger Compound can suddenly turn hostile towards you. I went back to collect and found them hostile (I had very high Karma). A possible trigger is a (possibly random) encounter at the mine field. Just before getting to the mine field at the water tower I encountered a hostile ranger in blue armor (not the Reilly's Rangers green) and killed him. That could have been the trigger for it.
 * Sometimes the skill book Dean's Electronics can be stuck partially under the generator, making it nearly impossible to get. (Try to aim the reticle on the corner of the book.)
