3. Here is a tip for tons of flamers, fuel, and Big Guns Skill books...

1) Find Bethesda buildings East and West. They are right next to each other. They will be surrounded by raiders, several of which may have sniper rifles. There is also the occasional Giant Rad Scorpion, so watch out.

2) Save!

3) Go in the buildings and kill everyone. Several Raiders have flamers, and one also has a Big Guns Skill Book. There is a safe with the Lock Pick Bobble Head too. There are also some combat shotguns set as a trap, and some grenades, also set as a trap.

4) Wait, or sleep, for 3 1/2 days, and then repeat. All of the Raiders will be back, and the one with the skill book will have another copy for you. You can raise your Big Guns Skill to 100 using this method.

If you raise the difficulty, you will get more xp as well, but those buildings are packed with heavy Raiders, so be really careful.
