Pulowski Preservation shelter (Fallout 3)

Pulowski Preservation shelters are coin-operated, one-person fallout shelters found on street corners throughout the more urban areas of the Capital Wasteland, provided by Pulowski Preservation Services. They act as sources of loot, potential hiding spots against enemies, and even quest starters.
==Background==
==Gameplay==
In Fallout 3, a Pulowski shelter is used by Bryan Wilks as shelter from fire ants ravaging Grayditch during Those!, while the aforementioned Box at Paradise Falls is part of the Rescue from Paradise side quest, where the player has to save Rory Maclaren) after taking the key to it from Forty. The door cannot be operated by non-player characters, allowing the player to safely hide from enemies until they stop searching and leave. They also protect any outside attacks, including explosions. The interior in this version of the shelter is very sparse and contains no visible Geiger counter to confirm outside radiation levels or other amenities, though Bryan does reference a suction hose for disposing of bodily waste.
==Locations==
There are a total of 18 Pulowski Preservation shelters in accessible locations, including "the Box" at Paradise Falls. Two more are present: One in the cell used to render the game's intro, and another in the Point Lookout add-on, to house Calvert's brain.
* Arlington Cemetery south - Contains a mannequin, two shot glasses, sexy sleepwear and wine.
* Arlington Library - Contains a skeleton with a 10mm pistol, two boxes of 10mm rounds, and a copy of Guns and Bullets.
* The Capitol Building - Outside the east exit, contains a briefcase, a Lying, Congressional Style and four stacks of pre-War money.
* Chevy Chase - Contains one skeleton.
* Chevy Chase Metro - One frag mine in front of the hatch. It contains three bottles of purified water, a lead pipe, and a teddy bear.
* Dupont East - South of the Metro Junction entrance, west of the dry sewer. Contains two skeletons, a stimpak, a Vault-Tec lunchbox, and a .32 pistol.
* Falls Church - At the Falls Church Metro marker. Contains a box of .32 caliber rounds, a box of 5mm rounds and two bottles of dirty water.

* Grayditch - Contains Bryan Wilks during the quest Those!
* Hubris Comics HQ - Contains a conductor, a Dean's Electronics, a hammer, a motorcycle gas tank and two wrenches.
* L'Enfant West - Contains a skeleton, a Big Book of Science, a bottle of wine and a pair of eyeglasses.
* Paradise Falls - Converted into "the Box" by slavers for solitary confinement. Contains Rory Maclaren.
* Pennsylvania Avenue - East of Metro, contains a deactivated Protectron and a locked (Very Easy) ammunition box of small energy cells, as well as two Stealth Boys.
* South of Rivet City - Empty.
* Takoma Park - East of Nifty Thrifty's. Contains a recently deceased wastelander with random chems and bobby pins, and an ammunition box with random ammunition.
* Vernon Square - At the Vernon Square station map marker. Contains a skeleton, a radiation suit and Rad-X.
* One unreachable shelter glimpsed from the intro movie, the set for which is actually built in-game, has a pair of skeleton legs.
* Pilgrim's Landing - On a rooftop in the boardwalk area. It is not meant to be encountered during normal play and can only be reached with console commands or through strategic jumping. Additionally, it cannot be opened and was placed there for technical reasons, as it houses the non-player character the Brain. The Brain is an NPC that serves as the dialogue source for Professor Calvert.
