. THE official guide… all mysteries solved… everything unlocked. Complete walkthrough with highly detailed maps and screenshots. This game is just too huge to not use a guide. Good luck!
On the map, there is a latitude and longitude, and for each location, there is a specific zone number that goes along with the location’s name, EG: Vault 106 is located in zone 5, section 12, so it is designated as 5.12. To get the lat/long, think of laying out an imaginary X-Y axis on the map.
This is a list of all 23 schematics to create the seven custom weapons. Basically, the more components you have when making a weapon, the stronger they’ll become.

So there are 3 schematics per (certain items) except for bottle cap mines and rocket launcher (4).
Do you get some bonus if you have all 3 or 4?
I read that having more than one schematic lets you make that weapon with more durability.
Yeh apparently it level’s the weapon. Think affects how much damage the create weapon is “born” with (also affected by your repair skills i think). Also, on the Shishkebab someone said it doesn’t have the gas leak (which slowly kills you if you have it drawn).
Where do you find everything for the Shishkibob?
I have the pilot light. I need Lawn mower Blade, Motorcycle handbrake, and motor cycle gas tank. Please help.
There are lawn mowers beside many wrecked houses. Try the barn west of megaton (it’s occupied, so watch yourself). I found lots of motorcycle parts in the sewers.
You can find all those thing in ‘Minefield’. A town where you have to go to to complete a quest for Moira in Megaton. There are Mororcycles with handbrakes and gas tanks nearby. There are lawnmowers also. Have fun with the mines
Shiskebab RULES !!!
@Erich
Those other three can all be found underneath metro stations. Don’t remember the name of which, but I’ve seen them a lot.
Those should be in several different places. I found a lawn mower blade in Minefield, while completing that quest for Moira. The motorcycle handbrake and gas take I found in the Super Duper Mart (or whatever the name is) while doing that quest for Moira. Those two parts were in the room down the hall from the room that has the robot in it.
Lawn mower blades are in any city type place with houses. Try minefield as there are tons there. Motorcycle gas tank and handbrake are in the back room of the Super Duper mart.
I actually got a shishkibob from a dead super mutant. already set up and in perfect condition
The motorcycle gas tank and hand brake are in a lot of raider camps…the mower blades…there are two of them by the raider camp next to the TEPID SEWERS…and Dukov’s Place.
theirs a place called marigold station (filled with fire ants) it has 3 lawnmower blades in it and you can get the brake and tank from the motorcycles that litter the wastelanc
Motorcycle Gas Tank and Handbrake in SuperDuper Mart, in the back part of the store; Lawn Mower Blade in Bigtown, between the houses west of main open space.
Dude, this is a sick guide and all, but I have no comprehension of either the zone system, or the lat/long system you’ve got going here. Can you let us know the secret to figuring them out? Thanks again
If you get more than one schematic for a weapon, it will raise durability.
HOWEVER that is not true with the bottlecap mines. When you get 2 or more schematics for the mines, you make an amount equal to the schematic amount that you have without needing extra materials. (Ex. 4 schematics+Materials=4 Bottlecap Mines.)
Yeah uhm.. I.. Where are these “coordinates” on my map? Like the zone numbers.
Hey where can I find all of the parts for the rock-it launcher and what are they
At springvale school there’s motorcycle tank and handbrake, on the left side from entrance near trash bins.
i think thet get were the part are so stop with the stupid replys about were the handbrake and motorcycle tanks but after the first six times of replys and you can’t find them go to lucky’s gas station by tempenny tower its were you go when you blow up megaton.
Do the things you put in the rock-it launcher for ammo really affect the damage done??? cuz i blew a dudes head off with a teddy bear.
Theres a little store outside tenpennys tower called luckys its red and beside another building right by the warrington station theres tons of stuff thier but u might want to kill the girl cuz she follows u around
If your looking for the Shishkebab parts, there is actually a sewer type thing next to this radio tower near Fort Constantine, i cant think of the tower name, but there is a sewer you can go into.
The sewer has no monsters, and is very small, there will be two doors into this little hideout, 3 of the 4 parts will be in the room, and i think there is a book laying on the desk next to the terminal, and a bed in there in case you wanna catch some sleep.
Lawnmower blade is in Minefield, just look around wont be hard to find!
Hope this helps. If anyone can confirm that tower’s name please do, i cant remember it off the top of my head.
for the shishkebab the handbrake and the gas tank is on top of the rivet city ship an no1 trys 2 kill u 4 takin it ; )
I’m looking for that Nuka Grenade schematic that is supposed to be in the Cliffside Caverns area in a “Yao Guai Cave”, but after exstensive searching in that area of the map point Cliffside Cavern and The Overlook Drive-In, which are right near each other, the only thing I have found are 2 entrances to a Raider’s Compound. Thinking that the post maybe an error in referrence to the Yao Guai Tunnels that is north of map point Charnel, I went through the entire cave/tunnel system, including The Yao Guai Den, and only found the Sneak Bobblehead. Can anyone clarify the where that might be? And can anyone clarify the schematic for the Deathclaw Gauntlet that is supposed to be a mini-encounter with a “Wounded Waselander/Deathclaw” and where it is? Locations in long/lat don’t help since I play on 360 and I’m guessing they only apply on the pc version.
If you are looking for a Lawn Mower blade, there’s one in the Reilly’s Rangers compound.Just go in, move forward, then turn right.
I got fallout on PS3 and i can’t find a workbech that lets me do the deathclaw gauntlets. Please help
uhh… this is kinda off topic but i just need to know if this is a weapon glitch or not. At some point in the game when you hear a BOOM (spaceship got hit) and alien power cells fall, i know this is weird but the firelancer (alien gun) fell too. I heard that you could only find it at the spaceship crashsight… is there a glitch with the spawner in the game?
The “Boom” spaceship is a random encounter, very rare. Typically you get a bunch of Alien Power Cells and if you can find it on the ground, the Firelance. This is separate from the crashed ship where the Alien Blaster along with a whole bunch of the power cells are. The Blaster is a bit better, and you can use the Firelance to repair the blaster if you’re inclined.
Can you still get the bobble head in megatown if you blew it up first thing?? Does anyone know??
You can find all the parts for all the schematics in pinkertons lab in the broken bow of Rivet City (underwater)
to get the shiskebab go to the family (gang) and kill the leader vance he has the schematic for the shishkebab and he has a pre made one =)
neone kno where to find the parts to the Rock-it-launcher?? im having trouble with the vacuum
theres a vacuum cleaner in one of the houses at the minefield
All schematics “level” your weapon, making them either more powerful, or letting you be able to make more of them at a time, I.e. Bottlecap Mines.
i had the shishkabab schematic and then finnished ties and it gave me the rewar of anothe schematic and it upraded the schematic by 10%
For the mower blade. Its at bbig town.
The mower gas tank, is at the springvile elementry school(there are raiders thhere)
The piolt light is at super duper mart.
Leaf blower is at super duper mart, so is wonder glue, the medic brace, the leather belt, and vaccum.
The alien blaster is north of the MDPL-13 power station. Zone 2(if I remember right) you’ll pick up an alien braodcast when ur getting close.
Hint: when ur trying to find the crash spaceship. Look for the power line that fell. That means ur close… hopes that helps
wow!!!! someone asked where to find parts for a weapon and you all reply to the post about four months on the same topic and the never attempt to answer the kid on how to read the zones you all suck!!
hey i think my game glitched up because i bought the dart gun schematic from the lady in tenpenny tower and after she left and the gouls moved in i bought it from the male shop goul also got the gouls in peaceful also have broken steel and the pitt incase of patches and anyone wants to try to duplicate this glitch
if you decide to tak the evil path. the girl at the craterside supply in megaton has all the parts for the rock-it launcher, make sure you complete the wasteland survival guide quest for xp and a cheev, kill her. then use her key to unlock the locker behind the counter, you’ll find the schems and items to make it
i had to do the mission the “head of state”. so i guess your game can glitch for you or you’ll just have to do the lamo mission. ughhh.
im in a state of shock at the amount of responses people are taking time to write about parts that are all over the game. if u cant find em u dont play enough, put the work in sucka! however the kids probly got the parts so stop suggesting places to look. and if youre all so smart why not shed a little light on this co-ordinates shizzle??? holla if ya hear me
Don’t kill the leader of the family get to a compromise wtb both sides and you still get shishkibab schematic. And at many power plants there are workbenches with parts and shelfs next to it with stuff needed.
(just to help retards who can’t find it out for themselves)
i agree, wtf r these zones and how did u find them? plz comment if u know wth im talkin about
no u can not get the bobble head if u blow up megaton
dude this game is sick and all but i thought it would be much easier to “free roam”. it seems like your pretty limited. do you have to own the schematics to create the weapon or can you just gather the goods and make the weapon?
i got the shiskebob schematic. But when i checked my inventory it wasnt there. plz help
also you can get a workbench from craterside supply it costs 751 caps i think
having trouble with deciding on what followers to have. get dogmeat and Fawkes. ultimate combo. both have A TON OF HEALTH BOTH ARE THE SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
i need to know more about robco factory like wwhat enemies is it home to
WTF is up with all of you. Getting help from other people takes the fun out of the finding. Also someone answer the zone question. level up and explore you will find the schematics soon and if you dont and you have Broken Steel you can the warmonger per which gives you all schematics for every custom weapon.
