L.O.B. Enterprises is a building in Falls Church in Fallout 3.
Background
Located at 18527 Fairford, L.O.B. Enterprises was a weapons manufacturer before the war.[Pub 1] The company developed a new incendiary weapon known as Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese Pistol, under "Project Zhu-Rong."
Its employees were required to carry military weapons, and received training in the event of a federal invasion or nuclear exchange.[1][2] Employees were issued gear while swearing them into the "sovereign L.O.B. republic."[3] Their activities were discovered by the authorities and their headquarters were raided by federal agents.[4]
Layout
The building consists of three parts: the main area, the east wing, and enterprise archives.
Loot
- Pugilism Illustrated - In a storeroom composed of only metal shelves, on the eastern side of the map in the southernmost room. It can be reached by going north and then east of the L.O.B. Enterprises entrance. By entering a room with only wooden shelves and a terminal, it can be found directly south of it.
- Nuka-Cola Quantum - On a shelf in the big office above the boiler room in the L.O.B. Enterprises area, near the northwest corner of the map.
East wing
- Stealth Boy - Entering the east wing, there is a reception area consisting of an alcove on the right with two desks, a coffee machine, filing cabinets, and shelves. There are two terminals, one functioning security operations terminal, and another non-functioning terminal with a Stealth Boy.
- Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese Pistol - Inside the CEO's office (Very Hard lock), inside the CEO's briefcase (Hard lock) on the desk. The key is inside the CEO's desk, and will also unlock the door that leads back into the hallway.
- Tumblers Today - Next to the computer monitor on the desk in the CEO's office.
- Mini Nuke - In the CEO's bathroom next to the garbage can or on top of the lighting fixture over the toilet.
Archives
- Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual - Next to the employee terminal in the archives.
- Stealth Boy - In the generator area of the archives past the bathrooms, on a shelf on the eastern wall.

Notes
- While L.O.B. Enterprises does not show up on the Pip-Boy "world map," its entrance is marked on the Pip-Boy "local map." Fast traveling to Falls Church East places one right outside the building.
- L.O.B. Enterprises has the most Vacuum Cleaners of any location. There are a total of 15 across its three zones. There are five in the entrance, seven in the archives and three in the eastern wing.
- At higher levels, Sentry Bots will start to appear inside L.O.B. Enterprises. At level 30 (Broken Steel add-on), the building comprises mostly sentry bots with a few Robobrains and one or two Protectrons.
- In the east wing section, there is a bathroom with urinals. However, the sign outside of the bathroom says "Ladies."
- Just to the right of entering the east wing, there is a teddy bear sitting on a chair in front of the security operations terminal.
- A paladin may enter the building and fight the robots if The Lost Initiate is completed.
