Fallout 3 Cheats (PS3)

Use the following trick to avoid breaking bobby pins when trying to pick a lock. Just
before the bobby pin is going to break, exit that screen, then go back. You will save a
lot of bobby pins by doing this. This also works when trying to get a password for
computers.

Note: Using the "Infinite XP" glitches can leave you weak. The higher level you
are, the more difficult the game gets. You will encounter more and stronger enemies, and
they will have better weapons in better conditions.

Use the following trick to get 5 experience points each time it is performed. Go to
Craterside Supply (found in Megaton) with a few frag mines (so you do not have to re-equip
the mines). Go into the room behind the mercenary. Get close to the back side of the wall
that the mercenary is leaning against, and place a mine. Quickly pick it up as it will
immediately be armed and ticking. Repeat this as many times as desired.

Have a Speech skill of at least 30. Visit Big Town by travelling northwest from
Springvale Elementary. Talk to Bittercup about her dating exploits. Talk with Pappy about
how he came to Big Town with Bittercup to start a Speech challenge. If you fail, the
challenge will still be available to retry. Repeat the challenge until you are successful.
You will get six experience points, and the option to retry the challenge can still be
selected. Repeat the challenge as many times as desired. Note: This requires the
unpatched version of the game.

Be at least level 10, and have a 60 Sneak skill. Unlock the Mister Sandman perk. Go to
the Smith's house at Andale. Sneak upstairs at night while everyone is sleeping. Try to
pickpocket the boy, but instead select "Murder". You will not lose Karma and gain over 50
experience points. Because the boy does not actually die, you can repeat this as many
times as desired. Note: The game may glitch and become unresponsive. Also, this
requires the unpatched version of the game.

When you see an item on a shelf or table in a store or house where there are too many
people around to steal it, walk over to the item, get it in your crosshairs, and press R3
to pick the item up. Then, take the item to an area where no one is, drop it, and steal
it.  For example, use the Bottle Cap Mine in the Craterside Supply on the work bench, pick
it up, then drop it at the end of the desk to the right next to the two metal boxes. Enter
Sneak mode, get next to the desk once your indicator says hidden, and steal it.

Note: This trick requires you take the "evil" path. After agreeing to help Mr.
Burke nuke Megaton, go into every single house and steal everything (any little piece of
junk you can carry). Sell them to the local shops (Craterside Supplies, The Restaurant,
Moriarty's Saloon, etc.). If a particular house is locked or you need a key to get into a
safe or something of that nature, just kill the owner of the property, and get the key
from his or her body. Kill everyone in sight, especially the shop owners because you can
get access to their entire inventory, plus the Caps that you have already spent on them.
Kill every one and collect everything to leave Megaton empty. You should have at least 600
caps. Remember to sell some of the things you gather to the shop owners because you cannot
fast travel when over encumbered. This can be done in almost any town you visit. To avoid
getting over encumbered, get all the supplies that you can possibly carry, then drop the
rest just outside of Megaton. Fast travel to Rivet City or some other marketplace. Sell
what you have, then return to Megaton, and repeat the process.

In the "Strictly Business" quest, capture Susan Lancaster, and get your reward for her
capture. Afterwards, speak with her in the slave quarters part of Paradise Falls.
Note: You will need one of the slaver's keys to access the slaves quarters;
pickpocket one. After entering the slave quarter's, speak with Susan. When she asks for
help, choose the option "You're a slave. Deal with it.", then return to Grouse to collect
the reward again. Grouse will think that you captured her again. You can repeat this as
many times as desired to get 250 Caps and a slave collar each time.

Save all pre-war books you found (not scorched or ruined). Go to the Arlington library.
At the southeastern corner, you can find an NPC that will buy those books for 100 Caps
each. You will also get 10 experience points for each book you sold.

Do the "Riley's Rangers" side quest. After rescuing Riley and escorting her back to her
base, she will ask if you want to help her out by mapping the area, and she will pay you.
Do not tell her that you will help her just yet. After reaching level 20, use the
"Explorer" Perk. Once you have revealed every location on the map, go back to her, and
tell her that you will help her out. Then, tell her you have got some new locations for
her. Depending on whether or not you have already done it, you can make upwards of 2,200
Caps.

Be sure to look for random amounts of symbols, beginning and ending with "( )" or "<
>". Do this before making attempts, as they are mainly dud removers, and usually only
one allowance replenisher. Note: These do not take away from your attempts.

The first part of the schematic for the Dart Gun are found at the MDPL-05 Power Station on
the northwest tip of the Capital Wasteland. Another part is obtained from Hannibal Hamlin
after completing the "Lincoln Memorial" quest for the slaves. The last schematic is found
in a locked chest at the Boutique Le Chic in Tenpenny Tower. Parts required are a toy car,
surgical tubing, paint gun, and Radscorpion poison gland. The Dart Gun cripples your
target's legs. It is very useful when used on fast melee opponents such as Deathclaws. It
also poisons your target for eight seconds.

Only use three attempts during a hack, so you leave yourself with one to back out. Then,
go back to the attempts screen, and you will have four more chances. Repeat this as many
times as desired.

Save the game before starting a dialogue with a Speech bonus, hacking a computer, lock
picking, or pick pocketing. Then, simply reload the game if you fail the challenge.
