Overview
At this location you'll find three different areas to enter: Bethesda Offices West, Bethesda Offices East, and Bethesda Underworks. In the first two areas you'll encounter raiders and traps. In the latter area you'll encounter lots of feral ghouls, including some glowing ones.
Every couple of days, the raiders (both inside and outside of the offices) and the ghouls will respawn. This includes the raider with the
Flamer (#8), who will always drop a copy of
U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes. One of the raiders outside of the offices will usually have a
Sniper Rifle.
