Raider Outpost (near Minuteman Metro Station) is an unmarked raider outpost southeast of the Minuteman Metro Station. You will pass this area if you choose not to fast-travel to Rivet City with James after completing Tranquility Lane; it can be dangerous for low level characters. Take note of the large number of cars when approaching, and beware engaging the raiders from a distance, as the crossfire can easily set one of the many vehicles alight.
Layout
The outpost is accessible via the covered bridge to the northeast or through a hole in the fence at the southwestern side. The bridge is held by a single raider, supported by an automated turret controlled by an Average terminal at the opposite end. The other side is guarded by a group of patrolling raiders, one of whom is positioned on top of a fortified rubble pile, wielding a missile launcher.
Notable loot
- Pugilism Illustrated, on the table in the center of the outpost.
- Tumblers Today, on top of the fortification, near the mattress.
- Missile launcher carried by the raider on the fortification.
- Nuka-Cola Quantum, in a crate on top of the shelf near the two refrigerators.
- Two boxes of shotgun shells and some frag mines on the westernmost shelves.
- Numerous ammunition boxes, first aid boxes and chems throughout the outpost, as well as multiple motorcycle handbrakes, paint guns and other crafting supplies.
