Farragut West station

Farragut West Station is a metro station of the Washington, D.C. Metro system in the Capital Wasteland, and exits into Friendship station. The main entrance is due east of Super-Duper Mart.

Exterior
The station is located to the east of Super-Duper Mart and north of Wilhelm's Wharf, across the river from both. The open area of the station is typically the first metro most players go into with a fight typically occurring between a group of raiders and 2 super mutants from across the river, that are heavily armed with a missile launcher or a minigun and an assault rifle and occasionally a third, random party, depending on the random encounter. On the wall above the fenced entrance to the Metro station is a Brotherhood marker graffiti with the inscription "GNR Outpost?".

Interior
The lobby leads first into the Ticket Masters Office with a Protectron pod that can be released to attack molerats (the player should make sure they have a metro ticket on themselves to avoid being attacked by the robot. Near the entrance to the now collapsed metro platform is an exit into the maintenance tunnels.

The tunnels are fairly straightforward and terminate in a larger room with a central staircase. At one end of the top floor lies a DCTA Service Office. On the opposite end is the exit to the Friendship station. The only issue are ghouls standing in the way, which can be killed by igniting the gas leak in the area.

Notable loot

 * U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes at the bottom of the room with the ghouls, behind a locked door (average), also 3 pre-War books, 3 frag grenades, 4 missiles and some ammunition (A).
 * Nikola Tesla and You. Through the door opposite the locked gate, in a locked safe (B). If you lack the ability to pick locks, the computer on the desk will open it for you. There is also the Metro Utility gate key in the first aid box on the desk that opens both the gate and the door beyond.
