Forum:Is there somewhere to store extra stuff?

I offed Dukov (that guy annoyed me) and have been using his place for a warehouse. After clearing the area around it, nothing seems to respawn and surprise you as you fast travel in. But there's no useable bed so I'm trying to remember to raise my explosives skill next time I level up so I can get the Megaton house. It'll make transactions quicker too.Nix510 19:15, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Is there somewhere to store extra equipment and such?

If you disarm the bomb in Megaton, Lucas Simms will give you the key to a house. The house is located to your left after you enter the city. It comes with a Bobblehead stand and space to store anything you'd like, plus a butler who will give you water every few days and tells jokes. Plus, if you sleep in the bed, you'll acquire a Well Rested bonus (+10% extra XP). --Turbine2k5 05:00, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * You don't need that high an explosives skill to disarm. Remember, taking mentats will increase your explosive skill. Also, if you blow up Megaton, you get an apartment in Tenpenny Tower instead.  Finally, you can use any non-respawning container (such as an indoor location, or a mailbox outside) as I'm told those will hold items indefinitely.   To test any location or container to see if it's safe to use, put something in it, wait more than 72 hours and check to see if it's still there.  Snicker 14:36, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

unless your feeling evil / care more about house looks then practicality, there is little point to blowing up megaton... the bedroom in tpt is a hike to get to, whereas the megaton place is right nearby. also the mist is really annoying. Flying Dagger 00:54, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Just south of Alexandria Arms there's a rubbled out house with a ton of traps of every variety and a lone raider on the top floor with a hunting rifle taking potshots at you. I always use that as my base of operations for a couple of reasons- it's very close to a fast travel location (Alexandria Arms), there are no respawning enemies anywhere in the vicinity, it has a Bed and Workbench inside, you can get into it without having to access another loading screen (like you do in Megaton, or even worse, in Tenpenny), and it has a lot of different containers in case you want to organize your gear. The only thing it doesn't offer is the 10% Well Rested XP bonus that your megaton house offers, but it's not like hitting level 20 is that difficult, anyway. Some Sort 03:08, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

I use the Reilly's Rangers base with one of my characters. It's got a rack of single-compartment lockers I can use to organize everything, a shelf, bed, refridgerator to put food in, pretty much everything. PlasmaFox 03:11, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
