The Anchorage cliffs (simply labeled cliffs on the Pip-Boy map) are a location in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.
Background[]
The cliffs hold a United States Army outpost that were bombarded by Chinese forces, who allegedly killed more of their own forces in their artillery bombardment than American personnel.[1] The Chinese also posted their elite Crimson Dragoons throughout the caves within the cliffs watch the network, protected from the indiscriminate bombardment of the Chinese.[2]
Layout[]
The Anchorage cliffs are the starting point of the simulation where the Lone Wanderer first meets Sergeant Montgomery during The Guns of Anchorage. After waking up, there is a craggy pathway leading forward to a platform with a Chinese soldier on it. The platform also has some crates with a health dispenser on them. This platform connects to another via a catwalk, with that platform being connected to the other side of the cliffs by a long bridge. If continuing forward, there is an overlook with a sniper rifle, a frag mine, and another health dispenser. However, going back, there are stairways that switch-back along the walls and lead to a shelter with some Chinese resistance, along with a Chinese assault rifle, an ammo dispenser, some frag mines, and grenades. Through the door is a large pipeline with a broken bridge. There is a Stealth Boy on some boxes up the path to the right. Continuing is a catwalk covered cliff side that leads to the cave outpost.
After exiting the cave outpost, one will continue with Sergeant Montgomery down a pathway along the cliffs. This leads to some catwalks with a few Chinese soldiers on them. Nearby, there is a large white pipe that leads to a Very Easy locked field storage building that contains an intel suitcase under the desk, along with the holotape "Bombardment." After passing a bridge that leads to another shelter, there is another Very Easy locked door that contains another intel suitcase on a control panel and the holotape "Goodbye." The passage has a path on the right that leads to the cave outpost. Alternatively, through the passageway is a doorway to the Chinese artillery outpost. There are two bunkers with Chinese resistance outside the doors.
Notable loot[]
- An intel suitcase in the field storage at the end of the pipe and another in a door in shelter further in.
- The holotapes Anchorage Invasion holotapes "Bombardment" and "Goodbye."
