The Ranger Compound is the headquarters of Reilly's Rangers in Fallout 3.
Location
It is located in Seward Square in the southeastern portion of the Capital Wasteland.
- It's probably easiest to reach by entering Anacostia Metro Station at Anacostia Crossing (just north Rivet City), exit at Seward Square (straight east, don't go down to the tracks) and take the short walk to the north.
The compound
The compound is within a partially destroyed building and is guarded by a camera and a computer terminal, however once you meet Reilly or save the Rangers in the Reilly's Rangers (quest) a simple interaction with the terminal unlocks the doors to the Ranger Compound. All items in the compound can be taken without incurring negative karma. There is also a bed and safe lockers. If you turn left after entering the compound, and then go straight, you enter the bed room / mess hall. There is a mattress on the floor on the right that you can use, and the locker against the wall on the right has been proven to be safe to store gear in.
Notes
- You can encounter the deranged Mad Preacher and a bystander near the other goodies.
- Inside the compound, there's a Dean's Electronics skill book on the generator in the pantry. (This was very hard to select for me, for some reason(XBox). Crouching and selecting the bottom right corner of the book worked.
- Under the single bed in the mess hall/barracks area is a footlocker containing a Power Fist.
- On top of the compound, highest reachable floor of the building, there are 5 Ammunition Boxes 2 of which are locked average. The Ammunition boxes contain 5mm rounds, 5.56mm rounds, .44 magnum rounds, and missiles. There are also 2 First Aid kits, one of which is also locked average.
They contain 5 Stimpaks, 2 Purified Water Bottles, 1 Blood Pack and 1 Dirty Water.
- The real highest floor, just above, is nearly unreachable. It has a Nuka-Cola Machine and a door that can both be seen from the floor below. You can reach it with console commands on PC. There is currently no know way to access this floor on consoles. Possibly you could stack barrels/carts on top of a high cupboard, if you are very patient.

Related Quests
Bugs
- Reilly's Rangers at the Ranger Compound can suddenly turn hostile towards you. I went back to collect and found them hostile (I had very high Karma). A possible trigger is a (possibly random) encounter at the mine field. Just before getting to the mine field at the water tower I encountered a hostile ranger in blue armor (not the Reilly's Rangers green) and killed him. That could have been the trigger for it.
- Sometimes the skill book Dean's Electronics can be stuck partially under the generator, making it nearly impossible to get. (Try to aim the reticle on the corner of the book.)
