The Capital Mall is an open-area national park in Fallout 3. It is based on the real-life National Mall in downtown Washington D.C, except the one in Fallout 3 is much smaller and has different museums.

The Mall is now a bombed-out warzone occupied by Super Mutants. The park itself has been replaced by a series of trenches, fences and bunkers in fortified positions where the Super Mutants are entrenched. Crossing this part of The Mall will involve heavy combat, but the various Metro stations on each side of this zone offer relatively safe passage.

The Brotherhood of Steel holds a defensive position around the Washington Monument in the center of The Mall, and Talon Company is taking the offense against Super Mutants to the west toward The Capitol Building.

The Reflecting Pool, found between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, is full of wrecked cars and shopping carts and its radiation is strong enough to reach a few feet away from the water.

The Mall is a key location in Fallout 3 that connects several important buildings and areas together. However, because of this, it has the second largest concentration of Super Mutants in the Capital Wasteland, first being Vault 87. It is generally believed that the Super Mutants are looking for more FEV to use to reproduce. They are apparently attracted by the radiated reflecting pool behind the Washington Monument or are hoping to find some in any of the old museums or the Capitol Building.

[edit] Points of Interest

• Museum of American History
• Museum of Technology
• Lincoln Memorial
• Washington Monument
• National Archives
• The Capitol Building
• Mirelurk Nesting Hole

[edit] Notable Loot

Along with the many things in the museums and other buildings, don't miss:

• Duck and Cover! in the Super Mutant Bunker
• Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual in the Mirelurk Nesting Hole

[edit] Notes

• Most of the Super Mutants in the Mall do not respawn so its possible to make the area relatively clear of enemies.
  • Note: On higher difficulties, Super Mutant Masters and Super Mutant Brutes will still respawn with Miniguns and Missile Launchers.
• For the adventurous type, it is a good place to pick up a couple of extra Miniguns and some spare suits of Power Armor.

[edit] Appearances

The Mall only appears in Fallout 3.
