Decompression Chamber

(Redirected from Decompression chamber)

Now you're gonna have to go outside of the ship. I know it looks scary, but that's the only way to the top. Oh! Make sure you wear a spacesuit before you go out there or you could die! Don't forget!Sally

The Decompression Chamber is a location in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.

Background

The Decompression Chamber serves as an airlock between the ship and outer space.[Pub 1] It removes the air from the chamber to match the outside atmosphere.[Pub 1][Pub 2] A Spacesuit is required to survive the decompression sequence.[1]

Publications

This small location is accessed only after you've shut down the three generators, and spoken to Sally. Don your Spacesuit, and wait for the atmosphere to match the outside before disengaging the airlock!Fallout 3 Official Game Guide

Layout

The entrance is found in the northern section of the Engineering Core. Access to the area is unlocked after destroying the generators in the Cryo Lab, Robot Assembly and the Hangar. In the middle of the interior is a Alien Switch that activates the decompression sequence.

Alien corpses are found scattered around after leaving the first chamber. The Decompression Chamber acts as an airlock between the spaceship and the space environment.

Notes

  • This is one of many areas of the ship that will not be accessible after the player has completed the quest, This Galaxy Ain't Big Enough....
  • Failing to put on the Spacesuit or removing it during or after decompression will cause one's head to explode.

Appearances

The Decompression Chamber appears in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.
