The abandoned car fort is a small makeshift fort located immediately northeast of Shalebridge, northwest of the Five Axles Rest Stop and southeast of SatCom Array NW-07c in the Capital Wasteland. There are no living inhabitants.
Layout
As the name suggests, it's a fort constructed of derelict cars on top of a highway. In the car fort, there are some dead raiders, a bed, six ammunition boxes, and a small crate containing random food, water and chems. There are some mirelurks and an Enclave outpost nearby.
Notable loot
- D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine to the south, past a wrecked train and an irradiated zone, in between some ant egg clutches, next to the corpse of a raider. The corpse may not appear in all games, but the loot should still be there, albeit a bit harder to spot.
- Stealth Boy in the same spot as the D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine. If the corpse is present, it may need to be moved to reveal the Stealth Boy.
- Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor, next to the bed.
Notes
- There is an Enclave checkpoint just up the highway, to the northwest.
- This location is not a good place to cause a chain of explosions as most of the cars are missing their engines (there are a few cars down the road that can explode).
- There is a Random Spawn location on the hillside next can spawn a single Raider or 2 Bloatfly's.
Appearances
The abandoned car fort appears only in Fallout 3.
Bugs
- The mirelurks below the fort may fly up to the fort's level, allowing them to attack you.
- On very rare occasion an Enclave soldier or officer may spawn near the fort before the Enclave become active within the Capital Wasteland.
