East Pump Station



East pump station is a location in the Mojave Wasteland, located between Vault 34 and the NCR sharecropper farms, just west of the monorail track system.

Background
This location is of paramount importance to the NCR, as it is responsible for filtering the water being pumped along the giant water pipe from Lake Las Vegas, and then back into the sharecropper farms.

Layout
There are two rooms inside: one is an office room where the Courier can find varied junk and a damaged terminal that can be used as one way to initiate the quest Hard Luck Blues. The terminal requires a Science skill of at least 50 to repair the network connection. The second room is through the unlocked door and is a reactor room, and it contains no interesting items.

Appearances
The east pump station appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
Inside on a wall, is a poster advertising the Sierra Madre casino; the location where the add-on Dead Money takes place. It also has "DEAD" written on a cubicle wall opposite it. A poster in the opposite corner for Dean Domino and two post cards on the tack board next to the computer are also references to the Dead Money add-on.

Bugs

 * The trigger for marking this location as visited is not at or near the door. Instead it is between the East pump station itself and the adjacent East cistern, in the area where the pipe passes between the two buildings.
 * When the Courier tries to look at the computer, the image will just be blurry and then when you exit out, all of the Courier scoped weapons (when you zoom in) it will just show a computer screen. This can easily be fixed by resetting the console.
