Discover the Mojave's hidden treasures! This Fallout: New Vegas guide details locations from the 188 Trading Post to REPCONN Headquarters, including loot, enemies, and secrets.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Leave the 188 Trading Post and head north-west to discover the Deserted Shack for XP and a map marker.
  2. 2
    Continue east, then north-east to reach Mountain Shadows Campground. Loot a Sunset Sarsaparilla Star Bottle Cap from a table.
  3. 3
    Proceed east to Ranger Station Alpha. Loot two Ammo Boxes [Easy] from the central tent and one Ammo Box [Average] from the southern tent. The Mine Box [Easy] is also in the central tent. Talk to Ranger Lineholm and Comm Officer Castillo, though they have no significant information.
  4. 4
    Head east through hills to Boulder Beach Campground on the Colorado riverbank. Be aware of Lakelurks.
  5. 5
    Follow the road north along the Colorado. At a sharp bend turning north-west, defeat two Lakelurks.
  6. 6
    Enter the water north of the Lakelurks' location and dive to find a submerged Sunset Sarsaparilla truck. Loot Sunset Sarsaparilla crates and Star Bottle Caps from the river bottom.
  7. 7
    From the truck, swim east-north-east to find the Scavenger Platform, which may be infested with Lakelurks. It's recommended to use a powerful weapon like the Gobi for quick kills. Loot the platforms, including two Ammo Boxes. The main prize is a copy of the Wasteland Survival Guide on the north-western pontoon.
  8. 8
    Swim north-east from the Scavenger Platform to Callville Bay. The warehouse is a Cazador nest. Use the collapsed arm of a yellow crane west of the warehouse as a sniping perch to eliminate the Cazadores.
  9. 9
    Enter the buildings. In the "Captain Dean Boat Rentals" shop, defeat Giant Rats. Loot two Sunset Sarsaparilla Star Bottle Caps (one on the display counter, one near the Cash Register), a First Aid Box, and a Safe [Average] in the north-eastern corner.
  10. 10
    North of Callville Bay is the Bitter Springs Recreation Area. Enter the Bitter Springs Recreation Office. Defeat three Giant Rats. On the desk in the northern room, find two Sunset Sarsaparilla Star Bottle Caps. In the southern room, find an issue of Tumblers Today and loot a Safe [Average].
  11. 11
    North of Bitter Springs is Coyote Tail Ridge, which is uninteresting but may contain Cazadores in the hills to the south-west. Defeat them.
  12. 12
    Head south-west to the Cap Counterfeiting Shack. In the entrance room, loot three Ammo Boxes and a Varmint Rifle from a metal shelf, and search lockers. Proceed through a cellar door to the basement.
