Farragut West station is a Metro station and part of the old underground Metro tunnel system in the Capital Wasteland in 2277. It exits into Tenleytown/Friendship station. The main entry is due east of Super-Duper Mart.
Layout[]
The first section of the metro has no enemies until passing the gate, giving access to the rest of the metro as well as a terminal that activates the metro Protectron. Just past the terminal are a pack of mole rats that the Protectron attendant may intercept.
Further in is a desk and a locker in a room beside a corridor leading to a set of stairs in an area that looks much more run down that the previous area. At the end of the first set of stairs on a landing, there will be a lawnmower, which will hold one of the components of the Shishkebab.
A short set of stairs leads to a toolbox on another landing. After descending the stairs, there is a door that leads to a set of stairs going up. At the top of the stairs, feral ghouls will call out from deeper inside the metro, and eventually encountering four of them behind a cage. There is a gas leak further into the room, potentially causing an explosion if an energy weapon is fire past the chain link. Opposite of the feral ghouls is a room that has some loot in it, including some miscellaneous items used in crafting. A safe is in this room too, unlocked either by lockpicking or by hacking a nearby terminal.
After this room, the path leading to the rest of the metro lies beyond the gate keeping the feral ghouls at bay. Once inside, there are some filing cabinets, a door, and a set of stairs. The door is the way to advance through the metro. If the lock cannot be picked, there is a key in the first aid box in the room with the loot. This unlocks both the gate and the door. After the door, there are a couple more flights of stairs, then a door leading to the Tenleytown Friendship Station.
Inhabitants[]
- Three mole rats and four feral ghouls.
Notable loot[]
- U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes at the bottom of the room with the ghouls, behind a locked door (average) and 3 pre-War books (A).
- Nikola Tesla and You through the door opposite the locked gate, in a locked safe (B). If you lack the ability to pick locks, the terminal on the desk will open it for you. There is also the Metro Utility gate key in the first aid box on the desk that opens both the gate and the door beyond.
- DCTA laser firearms protocol in the same safe.
Notes[]
- Metro Protectrons can be activated in the offices close to the entrance (C). Get the metro ticket on top of the console to keep them from attacking you. There are also 2 more metro tickets in the desks on the northwest side of the room.
- There is a room in Farragut West Station that can be used as Fallout 3 player housing. The room is opposite of the locked fence with the feral ghouls. There is a safe that can be locked using the terminal on the desk. There is also a naval cot behind the counter.
- The player can repeatedly lock the safe with the terminal and then pick the lock. This will increment the "Locks Picked" stat in the Pip Boy each time. However, Experience Points will only be granted for the first two successful attempts, and only when the lock is picked before using the terminal to unlock it.
- Using the terminal, you can start a "gas flow test" to fill the area behind the locked gate with gas. The player can then blow up the generator to ignite the gas and kill most of the feral ghouls. No XP is granted for killing them in this way, however.
Appearances[]
Farragut West Station appears only in Fallout 3.
