The excavated muck holes are unmarked locations in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout, found one block east and slightly north of the Lil' Tyke Playhouse. They are part of the An Antique Land side quest.
Layout[]
The excavated muck holes are the result of a Bysshe Company pre-War research team surveying bio-gas. The muck holes are heavily irradiated, abandoned, contain gas pockets, and contain the soil sample holotapes. If the player character uses flame-based weapons, merely stepping into a pocket of gas while equipped with the flamer, Shishkebab, or various other flame weapons with it drawn will cause the gas to ignite, setting them on fire. Likewise, drawing such a weapon while standing in gas will also cause it to ignite.
Sample site one[]
This excavated muck hole is north of the trash heap. Inside there is a desk with a few items on it, such as:
- Soil survey tape #1
- Two bio-gas canisters
- One fission battery
- One advanced radiation suit
- Outside the muck hole is a destroyed shack surrounded by a muck pool. A mini nuke can be found in an open safe next to the bed frame on top of the heap.
Sample site two[]
This excavated muck hole is one block east and slightly north of the Lil' Tyke Playhouse. Inside there is:
- Soil survey tape #2
- One fission battery.
- A footlocker containing three bio-gas canisters
- Outside the muck hole there is a desk, a couple feral ghouls and a muck pool.
Sample site three[]
