A dumpster is a storage container in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4.
Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas
Contents
Random junk is usually found inside of these containers, or even nothing at all. Largely, dumpsters are just an added aesthetic in the post-apocalypse and don't often provide anything useful, besides being safe containers in the open. On infrequent occasions, one might find caps or ammunition. Pre-War money is also notably frequent.
Notes
- A clean green one can be seen at the Talon Company camp.
- If the player completes a Speech check on Bryan Wilks (or has the Child at Heart perk), you will receive the key to a special dumpster located behind the diner in Grayditch. It contains some weapons and ammunition.
Fallout 4
Contents
Much like other Fallout games this usually contains junk items or rarely nothing. Assisted by the Scrounger and Cap Collector you may find Caps and Ammunition. The dumpster can be created in settlement mode.
