Where about is the manhole? I've looked for it around the crater but can't see it? Do you have any other details?
Thanks.
you need to get to the statesman hotel in vernon square, if you do the rileys ranger quest you'll get there, but there is a pretty big crater there and its hard to miss, there is a jet plane in it, crashed , there is also sewer grate in the crater you can go into but thats not the spot i'm talking about, if you're at the statesman hotel the crater is very close by, very very close to it, so once you're at the crater, killl all the supermutants first,then you need to explore the area but the manhole cover is a couple feet above ground level its not level with the street, its kinda behind some rubble, if you just search the entire area near the crater, not right next to the crater but prob withing 50 feet of it more or less, its between a couple buildings at the end of a really short street with some rubble piled up a bit, and you'll see the manhole entrance sticking out a bit it you look, well once you go down there, it doesn't have an enemies down there, its just 3 rooms i think, 3 or 4, all close together, one of em has a fridge or two, the other has some beds, the other has some other stuff, it would make a pretty good hideout, but you will have to kill the spuermutants every so often but its kinda a fun area to fight them in, you could sneak in the hideout without them seeing you but its fun to fight em. there's a some loot down there also, skill book or two, some other stuff.
