Once inside the encampment, you'll find that locating Ashur is easier said than done. The guy doesn't exactly pal around with slaves. Before you can get to him, you'll have to go through a series of quests and familiarize yourself with a new weapon: the auto-axe. This was the only new weapon I found during my time with The Pitt, though more may be found later in the quest. This melee weapon is essentially an over-sized weed-whacker with every safety measure removed. Pull the trigger and you'll extend the rotating blades, tearing through anything that gets too close. Seriously, just running at enemies was enough to rip them to shreds. Going into VATS with the weapon didn't provide any added enjoyment for me, so I mainly just stuck with real-time auto-axe action. The auto-axe becomes even better if you complete a side quest in The Pitt that rewards you with a new perk to boost the strength of the weapon (one of two new perks I earned while playing).
