The quartermaster is a "vendor" found at the U.S. Army field headquarters during the Anchorage Reclamation simulation in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.

Background[]

The simulated soldier in charge of weapon stocks at headquarters, the quartermaster is logical and a stickler for correct procedure: Without the right requisition holotape, he won't hand out anything.[1] It's necessary when managing weapons and ammunition on the front lines at Anchorage, as the Army has a limited amount of supplies this far out in the Alaskan tundra, and soldiers are expected to scavenge further supplies from the field.[2] If anyone in the theater has a complaint, the quartermaster will have none of it, unless it's lodged in writing on the standard 10-78BGHCF form.[3][Non-game 1]

There's one exception: Those who went beyond the call of duty in service to their brothers in arms and knows how to speak to him can count on a little bit of extra gear, requisition limits or not. And if anyone asks, "it fell off a truck".[4] Most will have to rely on "borrowing" equipment from communists,[5] and be extra careful with the items they are issued. All of it's property of Uncle Sam, after all.[6]

  1. Quartermaster: "I'm not turning over anything to you until I have that Requisition Holo."
  2. Lone Wanderer: "Can I change my gear?"
    Quartermaster: "Yeah sure. Just get me a new Requisition Form. You can only change your gear once, though. We've got limited weapons out here in the sticks. Anything else you'll have to scavenge from the field."
  3. Lone Wanderer: "Can I change my gear?"
    Quartermaster: "Sorry, that's all we're allowed to distribute. If you have a complaint, make sure you lodge it in writing using the standard 10-78BGHCF Form."
  4. Lone Wanderer: "The stuff you have is okay, but I need something with more... punch."
    Quartermaster: "Hell, you earned a lot of respect with the soldiers for what you did to those Chinese artillery guns. Tell you what... take this extra gear with you, requisitions be damned. If anyone asks, it fell off a truck."
    Note: This line is spoken if the Speech challenge to obtain the Gauss rifle succeeds.
  5. Lone Wanderer: "The stuff you have is okay, but I need something with more... punch."
    Quartermaster: "Sorry, this is the best I've got. You don't like it, go borrow from the Reds."
    Note: This line is spoken if the Speech challenge to obtain the Gauss rifle is failed.
  6. Quartermaster: "Remember, that gear's property of Uncle Sam. Hope you didn't get it dinged up too badly..."

  1. Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.92: "Quartermaster
    In charge of allocating weaponry to the troops engaged on the front lines of Anchorage, the Quartermaster appears to be logical and by the book. But with the correct guile and fast talking, you can convince him to provide additional firepower, including weaponry previously thought to be classified. He's a valuable ally and a man to befriend, even after you've brought your requisition Holotape to him."
