At this spot you'll discover a wrecked Highwayman, which is the same model of car -- if not the exact car itself -- driven by the PC in Fallout 2. Inside the trunk of the car you'll find some meds, a bunch of Energy Cells and Microfusion Cells, and a Sunset Sarsaparilla Star Bottle Cap.

22 - Clark Field

At this irradiated site, you'll encounter several golden geckos but not much else. Near the southern entrance you'll find a dead pack brahmin with some random loot on it, and near the northern entrance you'll find a dead scavenger with an Isotope-239 Igniting Agent (which you might need for the quest Come Fly with Me), a Radiation Suit, and Mr. RADical's Journal.

You'll find an overturned metal container filled with toxic waste barrels here. The area will be irradiated, and you won't find any useful loot.


24 - Novac

Please refer to our Novac section for more information.


25 - Ranger Station Charlie

If you visit the station early in the game, then you'll find it minimally inhabited by a single ranger and Comm Officer Stepanic. Later, after you've talked to Ranger Andy in Novac (#24), the Legion will attack the station and kill everybody inside. You won't find much in the station before the attack -- just an "average" locked safe (in the building under a bunk bed) with some random loot in it -- but afterwards you'll find Ranger Station Charlie Audio Log 1 (in the building under a desk) and Ranger Station Charlie Audio Log 2 (in the building on a metal box). You'll also encounter a few traps, including Frag Mines hidden under corpses.

Note: The second audio log will mention that the Legion captured one of the women from the station. This is possibly Ranger Stella, who you'll eventually meet in the Fort.


26 - Harper's Shack

Inside the shack you'll find a workbench, a reloading bench, a Sunset Sarsaparilla Star Bottle Cap (on a table), a Varmint Rifle (in a shelf), and three ammunition boxes.

29 - Legion Raid Camp

You'll discover two small Legion camps at this site. Between the two, you'll encounter half a dozen Caesar's Legion soldiers, and you'll find several footlockers (inside the tents). You'll also meet a pair of powder ganger prisoners in one of the camps. You'll need to rescue them for the quest Booted.


30 - Wolfhorn Ranch

Inside the farmhouse, you'll find a copy of Tumblers Today (on the floor by the refrigerator), Chopper (on the stove), a Varmint Rifle (in a shelf), two ammunition boxes, an armor locker, and a bed. Outside the farmhouse, up the hill to the west, you'll find another ammunition box (in the guard post) and a burial mound (at the northern overlook by a radio). Down the hill to the east, you'll find a garden containing Banana Yucca Fruit, Coyote Tobacco Chew, and Maize.

Inside the camper here, you'll find a Sunset Sarsaparilla Star Bottle Cap (inside the refrigerator), an ammunition box, a duffle bag, an armor case, and a first aid box. When you exit the camper, you'll get ambushed by a half dozen or more viper gunslingers, many of whom will have 10mm Pistols.

At this farm you'll find two graves (by the ruined house), a duffle bag (in the southern barn), a Wasteland Survival Guide (in the northern barn), a Sunset Sarsaparilla Star Bottle Cap (on a crate in the northern barn), and several malnourished brahmins and bighorners (in the pens and the barns). You'll also find four diary pages that will explain what happened to the Matthews family: Diary Page 1 (on the steps in the southern barn), Diary Page 2 (in the truck), Diary Page 3 (on a crate in the northern barn), and Diary Page 4 (by the skeleton in the ruined house).


33 - Crashed Vertibird
