Guides / Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition
Minefield
Minefield is a ruined, abandoned suburban town covered in active landmines, where a hostile sniper named Arkansas shoots at you from the top of the water tower. Moira Brown in Megaton sends you here as part of the Wasteland Survival Guide quest to bring back a landmine, while Arkansas is also a target for the enslavement quest Strictly Business. You must navigate the hazards, disarm or avoid the mines, and either eliminate, sneak past, or enslave Arkansas.

Enemies
Hostile sniper perched on the water tower who will shoot nearby cars to trigger explosive chain reactions
Tips
- Crouch and move slowly while looking at the ground so you can disarm landmines before they detonate, which allows you to safely collect them.
- Avoid taking cover behind parked cars, as Arkansas will shoot them until they blow up and kill you.
- Use a Stealth Boy or flank along the outer perimeter to reach the base of the water tower without being pinned down by sniper fire.
- If you plan to enslave Arkansas for the quest Strictly Business, hit him with the Mesmetron from close range at the top of the water tower rather than killing him from afar.
