11 - H&H Tools Factory

Please refer to our H&H Tools Factory section for more information.


12 - Northern Passage

At this location you'll find a cave entrance blocked by some boulders. You'll probably get to visit the cave in a future DLC. Also in the area you'll find a grave and a hollowed out rock (with the words "the sun is killing me" painted on it), both with random loot inside.


13 - Horowitz Farmstead

In the barn here, you'll discover a Viper camp (most likely complete with a trio of Vipers) containing a campfire, two beds, two ammunition boxes, and a first aid box. You'll also find a Sunset Sarsaparilla Star Bottle Cap on one of the crates. Outside the barn, you'll find a Hunting Shotgun and another ammunition box in the back of the truck.


14 - Griffin Wares Sacked Caravan

At this location you'll find a Plasma Rifle (on the ground), plus some ash piles and a pack brahmin that you can loot for random low-level items. You'll need to visit this location for the quest Heartache by the Number.


15 - Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch

Inside the corral here, you'll meet a stealthed nightkin who will try to sell you "wind-brahmin." If you make the purchase without asking how much, then you'll receive a Stealth Boy and not have to pay anything. If you ask how much, then the nightkin will demand all of your caps, and you won't receive anything. If you refuse to make the purchase, or if you call the wind-brahmin tumbleweeds too many times, then the nightkin will attack you, and you'll find a Stealth Boy, a Rebar Club, and your caps (if you made the purchase) on his corpse.

Note: For some reason, if you decide to load your game after talking to the nightkin, then he'll probably disappear from the ranch. To fix this, you'll need to completely exit the game and then load your game again.

Inside the farm house, you'll find two first aid boxes, a Sunset Sarsaparilla Star Bottle Cap (on the floor in the kitchen), a Cattle Prod (in an upstairs cabinet), and a copy of Lying, Congressional Style (in the same cabinet).


16 - Followers Safehouse

To enter the safehouse, you'll need the Followers Safehouse Key, which you can acquire from Julie Farkas in the Old Mormon Fort in Freeside after becoming idolized by the Followers of the Apocalypse. Inside the safehouse, you'll find quite a bit of nice loot on the beds, including six skill magazines, an Advanced Radiation Suit, an All-Purpose Science Suit, a Hunting Shotgun, a Multiplas Rifle, a Tri-Beam Laser Rifle, a suit of Combat Armor, Reinforced, and a Combat Helmet, Reinforced. You'll also find a copy of the D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine inside one of the nightstands.

Every so often, Dr. Luria will visit the safehouse to restock the refrigerators (making them unsafe to store things in). If you talk to Luria while she's in the safehouse, then she'll give you some Stimpaks, some Super Stimpaks, or some Rad-X and RadAway.

25 - Wins Hideout

Inside the hideout, you'll meet Sammy and Pauline Wins, "the wasteland's most dangerous and notorious criminal duo." If you ask Pauline what the plan is for their next job, then she'll tell you that she and Sammy stole Vance's 9mm Submachine Gun from the Vikki and Vance Casino in Primm (you might also have learned this is Primm), and that they're going to use it to rob some casinos in the New Vegas Strip. If you pass a Speech 55 check, then Sammy will give you the combination to the "very hard" safe in the hideout, and invite you to take the gun. Otherwise, you'll have to pick the lock on the safe to get the gun. If you kill Sammy and Pauline, then you'll find Vikki's Bonnet and Vance's Lucky Hat on their corpses.
