This section is a guide to the S.P.E.C.I.A.L system, the skill system, and the perks you get as you level up. Since you can't respec after you leave Vault 101, it's probably a good idea to know what you want. The e-mail address is the only credit I could dig up (Right click-view in new tab or window to get the full version) Character Creation & Specįallout 3 starts off with you creating your character and determining their stats. Feel free to reference them if you need to find a location.įirst Gamespy has a great interactive map (Although it's a bit complex)Īnd then there's this map I found on the internet. Since this guide references a lot of locations without explicitly telling you where they are, here are a few maps from other places (Not our work). Special Thanks to Boyce and DualReaver for taking a bunch of screenshots for us. Mentions of Downloadable Content and related subjects are relevant only for people with the 360 or PC versions of the game, but Playstation 3 owners will soon be received the DLC. Please note that this guide was written by users who (for the most part) all played the Xbox 360 version of Fallout 3. The guide is a constant work in progress, and all of our editors will be happy to hear your suggestions and make necessary alterations. Fallout 3 is a behemoth, and we did the best we could, but there are undoubtedly gaps. Feel free to comment on the guide pointing out things that are not included. Obviously, with a project this size and scope, there are bound to be options or quests we missed. We're probably crazy for attempting this. Lucky Harith may have one for sale, especially after investing in him during the unnamed quest Merchant Empire.Welcome to our guide for Fallout 3. The Brotherhood of Steel rear guard at the Washington Monument has one. Some Enclave troops in Raven Rock use them after Colonel Autumn orders them to attack the player character. Two are also located in the Tenpenny Tower weapons closet. Many members of the Brotherhood Outcasts use them when fighting robots outside Fort Constantine. Tulip in Underworld sells one of them from time to time. Occasionally Moira Brown has one for sale at Craterside Supply.įlak 'N Shrapnel's in Rivet City sometimes has one for sale. Marigold station, behind the locked door with the turning light. Some Brotherhood of Steel members around the Citadel have them. Note that taking them counts as stealing. There are around five Rippers in Andale, in the Smith's basement and in the Wilson's shed.

Outcast leader Protector Henry Casdin at Fort Independence carries one.


In the add-on The Pitt, a weapon with identical functionality called an auto axe is added, which can be repaired with the Ripper. In V.A.T.S., it can cause an instant kill. Uncommon compared to other melee weapons in the Capital Wasteland, the Ripper is unique in that the player character can hold down the attack button and an enemy at melee range will continuously receive damage.
