Guides / Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition
Adams Air Force Base
Adams Air Force Base is the heavily fortified Enclave stronghold infiltrated during the final assault of the Broken Steel add-on. You arrive via a hijacked subterranean train, fight through the airfield, air control tower, and base facilities, and ultimately board the Mobile Base Crawler. Your objective is to reach the Crawler's bridge, summon an orbital strike, and permanently destroy the Enclave base (or redirect the missiles against the Citadel).

Tips
- This entire area becomes completely inaccessible after completing the quest "Who Dares Wins," so collect all unique weapons and loot before ordering the orbital strike.
- The Tesla Cannon deals massive energy damage and can destroy Enclave Vertibirds in a single shot before they can drop off reinforcements.
- Turret and security terminals scattered across the base and the Mobile Base Crawler can be hacked to turn automated defenses against the Enclave soldiers.
