RSS 2.0Fallout 3 - 16 Days Before Release, Infinite EXP and Infinite Money Glitches Already Discovered
October 12, 2008
So Fallout and Fallout 2 were the fecal matter (as in, the shit). And, I mean that in a good way. I’ve been waiting for Fallout 3 for a long time. I’ve already pre-ordered the PC version. I heard it was like Oblivion with guns, and that can be a turnoff for some people, but as it turns out, I enjoyed Oblivion, and I like guns.
Anyway, it is no secret that the Xbox360 version of Fallout 3 has already leaked onto the internet. Reader, MyLittlePony, has sent us glitches/cheats that he/she has already discovered, along with a little video. Why he/she sent this to us, of all sites, is beyond me, but, here it is, anyway. We bring you the first look into some glitches, hints, and cheats:
Other Fallout 3 Cheats and Hints: (read more… )
- Easily Kill Robots out in the “Wastelands”:
Run up a steep hill, leaving the bot at the bottom, some of them can’t fire up at a steep enough angle, just shoot as you run up the hill.
- Easy caps (and a little experience):
Don’t throw away, sell, or pass by any books labeled “pre-war book” that you come by (not scorched or ruined books). At Arlington library, in the South-Eastern corner of the map, you can find a character that will buy each useless book off you for 100 caps, and you will get an additional 10 EXP for each book sold.
- (No big surprise, thank you, Oblivion) Easy Stealing, Hacking, and Speech Bonuses:
Before engaging in a dialogue with a speech bonus, hacking a computer, picking a lock, or pickpocketing, save your game. If you fail, you can always reload the save you just made and try again. This is especially useful with low-percent speech bonuses. For instance, when you are in Megaton for the first time, save before talking to Mr. Burke or the Sheriff about the bomb, and you can increase the quest reward from 100 caps to 500 with the speech bonus.
- INFINITE EXP:
For infinite experience in Fallout 3, you need to be at least level 10 and have the Sandman Perk. Sandman requires that you have at least a 60 rating in sneak. It allows you to silently kill people in their sleep with an added EXP bonus every time. So apparently, kids, or at least some kids, can’t be killed in the game. A good spot for this glitch is in a town in the South called, Andale. There are two kids, one in each of the two main houses that you can use this trick on. All you have to do, is use the wait function until it is about 1 AM. When everyone is asleep, sneak into a house, crouch, and use the Murder skill that comes with the Sandman Perk. USE ON THE CHILDREN ONLY. They won’t die, but you will still get the experience for killing them, allowing you to do the trick as much as you want. Best of all, using this murder trick has no effect on your Karma, and you will get 50 EXP every time, which is a lot in this game.
- INFINITE CAPS:
To get do this, you are going to need the item, “Naughty Nightware”. First, go to the Marigold Station, in Grayditch, in there, you will find an information kiosk/desk thing with a body and a holotape. Listen to it. It gives you directions on finding the item. It’s actually pretty funny. You need to explore the station until you find a section with a gate and a firehose station. Search inside the firehose box to find a key. Then continue to explore the tunnels until you find a room with a siren-like spinning light above it. Inside, you can use the key to open a safe. There, you will find the Naughty Nightware. You will then encounter someone who wants it back. Either kill him, or use the speech bonus option. Either way, don’t give it back.
Then you want to find a small town called Girdershade (way on the west side of the map and a little south, close to the entrance of Vault 112). Talk to Ronald Laren. He is not hard to find, there are only two people there. Sell him the Naughty Nightware for 200 caps. Now all you need to do is steal it back from him when he is not looking. Save before pickpocketing, incase you fail. Tak to him about the Naughty Nightware again, and you can sell it back for another 200 caps. He does not run out of caps, like other sales people in the game, so you can repeat as many times as you want. The only downside is that each time you steal, you will get negative karma.
INFINITE EXP 2:
This one you can do with a speech skill of at least 40. First you need to talk to Bittersharp in Big town. Then, go to the Common House in Big Town and find an NPC named Pappy. You will have a speech option of, “[Speech, 100%] You came here with bittercup, right?” You can select this option all you want for a steady stream of experience.
NOTE: MyLittlePony’s spelling and grammar was extensively edited to be readable. I spent a good 20 minutes translating their internet language for readability. but no tat i luv u, tho, MyLittlePony.
NOTE 2: We can’t personally confirm these, but MyLittlePony insists that these were tested on multiple Xbox 360s, and has provided a low-quality, low-reliability (Just like the writing on this site! Oh, snap, no he didn’t!) video of the infinite experience cheat being used (but seriously, our writing sucks… but keep reading, please).
NOTE3: We have no doubt that the video will be removed soon, so we included the text version, as well.
UPDATE: Infinite Caps cheat added.
UPDATE UPDATE: Another Infinite EXP Glitch added (Thanks Zoulpain)
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: Confirmed fixes made.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: Video re-uploaded.

Sandman trick works, tho i cant find the item in question on the caps exploit .. theirs 2 ghouls there in the room with a desk .. not a dead body.
I’m on my 2nd play through .. first time i only did the main story, took me 15 hrs.
16 Oct 2008 - 14:21
Sandman wish an option to murder on kids doesn’t pop up. Does it only work in a certain town? Let me know how you guys got it to work.
16 Oct 2008 - 21:24
Ya, like it says, go to Andale. It is in the very South of the map. There are two houses there. I think both of them work. You won’t lose karma because they are neither good nor bad characters. Make sure your status says “Hidden”.
16 Oct 2008 - 21:28
Zoulpain, there is a Kiosk thing at the top of the stairs near the entrance to the Family’s area. There is a dead body up there with a holotape next to it. If it is too dark for you to see, hold the B button to turn your Pipboy into a weak flashlight.

Tried the infinite exp method 2 and didn’t work. First I don’t think there’s a person named Bittersharp in Big Town. Second after talking to Bittercup and then going over to pappy there is no option for the speech 100% dialog. I’m level 9 with speech skill at 44. Any ideas?
18 Oct 2008 - 18:21
Gotta find him before Big Town. I forget where, though.
19 Oct 2008 - 23:14
where is big town???
20 Oct 2008 - 5:49
INFINITE EXP 2 worked for me on my other save, i just talked to the chick first then to the dude .. anyways i cant find the holotape nor the kiosk .. iv been in and out of “Northwest Seneca Station” .. is it inside or outside? .. iv checked everywhere Q_Q
23 Oct 2008 - 20:41
its the marigold station guys in grayditch…head south from the super-duper mart and you’ll find it. It’s in the Kiosk.. with a skeleton.. Idk how they got West Senaca.. lol

Her name is Bittercup, not Bittersharp. There won’t be a Speech 100% option unless your Speech skill is really high, just click on the conversation option with with the Speech challenge, the percentage doesn’t matter so much, beause you just keep selecting it. The percentage is just the liklihood you’ll succeed. When you level up, you can just dump all your skill points into Speech once or twice and it will go much more quickly in levels ahead.

All of the above methods DO work.
20 Nov 2008 - 15:20
what if you already killed the parents of both kids,and the kids are now at the hermets house can u still do it?
20 Nov 2008 - 17:18
Son of sam, wait till he sleeps and use Sandman, if you have it.
16 Dec 2008 - 11:55
the infinite caps doesnt work… when i sell it to him, and then try and pickpocket him, the nightwear aint there…..
01 Jan 2009 - 18:01
Infinite Caps definatly doesnt work, if you have already free’d the slaves
due to the fact that theres no “you came here with bittercup” (not bittersharp) lol, because you have befriended this NPC he has a speech line that cant be burned out, this is the “Can you repair any of my stuff”
