The Pitt is an industrial Raider town located in the remains of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, about 500 kilometers to the northwest of the Capital Wasteland. It is a place where three irradiated rivers come together and many of the town's inhabitants are mutated as a result of the Troglodyte Degeneration Contagion.

The Pitt was originally a place of pure chaos, full of rape and torture squads in the decades following the Great War. As part of the early reconnaissance done when the Brotherhood of Steel's expeditionary force from the Core Region first arrived in the East Coast area sometime in 2255, Owyn Lyons led his Paladins in an attack against the Pitt from over Mount Wash, later called "The Scourge". Even though they were completely outnumbered, they still razed much of the city to the ground. During this operation the Brotherhood lost only one member of the strike force, Ishmael Ashur (his comrades thought that he had died in a steel mill explosion), who would later go on to unify the raiders and take control of the city.
As they swept through the Pitt, the Brotherhood rounded up every non-mutated child they could find, of which there were around twenty. Lyons brought the children back to the Citadel in the Capital Wasteland and enlisted them in the Capital Wasteland Brotherhood of Steel. One of these children grew up to be Paladin Kodiak.
While not as much of a threat to the people of the East Coast's wastelands as before the Scourge, the Pitt is still a center of raider and Slaver activity.
The Pitt bridge connects the trainyard with the actual town itself, the Downtown area specifically, and is littered with car wrecks and frag mines. Although possible to jump from the bridge; the water, highly irradiated, prevents the player from swimming far.
The Pitt's Downtown area is where the slaves are forced to live and work. Midea's Quarters are located here and the district has entrances to Uptown and the Mill as well as an exit to the bridge.
The Steelyard is infested with Trogs and Wildmen. Containing an old supply plant as well as Wernher's Hideout, it can be reached from the Mill through the abandoned area and through the Underground. Dead slaves can be found throughout the area, unfortunate souls who died on their involuntary quest to acquire steel ingots.
The Mill is the heart of the Pitt's slave-based industry. Besides the ammo press and a lot of machines and slaves, it contains an arena called the Hole, where slaves may fight for their freedom. It has an exit to the abandoned area from where the Steelyard can be accessed.
The Trainyard is the place where visitors from the Capital Wasteland arrive in the Pitt's general area. Once here, they only need to cross the bridge to reach Downtown.
The Underground connects the Steelyard with Uptown. It cannot be accessed without a key and is basically the power plant for the town, powering the flood lights which protect Uptown from the light-sensitive Trogs.
Uptown is the main living area for the town's Raiders and contains Haven, Ashur's headquarters, as well as the abandoned apartments.
The Pitt was only mentioned in Fallout 3 and appears in the Fallout 3 add-on pack also titled The Pitt. A holotape found in Rockopolis reveals that Slavers have taken the entire population of Rockopolis to the Pitt to be sold as slaves.
