Ruined Store (Fallout: New Vegas)

The ruined store is a destroyed building in the western portion of Freeside $$ It houses a soup kitchen run by the New California Republic. It is located near Cerulean Robotics.

Layout
The only entrance is locked and requires a key to open. During the quest G.I. Blues, there will be two NCR Troopers standing outside the entrance. In order to enter the building to talk to Major Elizabeth Kieran, a Speech check of 60 (or 30) from one of the troopers must be passed, or a key to the store can be pickpocketed.

Conversely, the password can be learned from the missionary after answering three questions to convince him of New California Republic citizenship status or from Rotface. Inside, squatters receive free supplies from Kieran's group. After completing the quest G.I. Blues, Major Kieran and the squatters will leave the location.

Loot
