A mailbox or mail dropbox is a type of container in Fallout 3.

Characteristics[]

Postal storage vessels in the wasteland. These were used by the pre-War postal service but now hold miscellaneous items and minor loot.

Locations[]

They can be found in the general area of pre-War homes or the remains of one, such as in Springvale.

Contents[]

The standard mailbox may contain junk items, or even a letter from Vault-Tec denying the household's residency in a vault. They may contain various weapons, like brass or spiked knuckles. Mail dropboxes will often contain cherry bombs, random junk items, or weaker melee weapons, like switchblades.

Traps[]

There are some mailboxes that are rigged to explode when one steps near them.

Notes[]

  • The Scrounger and Fortune Finder perks will increase the chance of finding ammunition and caps in mailboxes.
  • Outside a home in Springvale a letter from Vault-Tec can be found, and it is addressed to the Gomez family.

Appearances[]
