Goodsprings Source



The Goodsprings source is a location in the Mojave Wasteland. The Goodsprings source is located south-south-east of Goodsprings and serves as its purified water supply.

Layout
The rocky terrain of this location separates its features into smaller sub-areas. The sub-areas are defined by the features found in them. There is a lower area consisting of a campground with a place to sleep, an upper area marked by several wells and water troughs, and an overlook that provides a full vista of the other parts of Goodsprings Source and the land beyond to the south. There are several containers of different types about the location which may be useful to loot early in the game.

In the lower area, there are three campfires that can be used to craft/cook various items. A man named Barton Thorn resides near the camper. He will attempt to mislead the player by asking for help saving his girlfriend from a group of geckos, when in reality he is lying to the player so he can safely reach the overlook where some loot is found.

In the upper area are some water wells, and several geckos. If the player did not complete the quest By a Campfire on the Trail the corpse of a Goodsprings settler can be found at one of the wells, carrying a cleaver, several caps, and a Field hand outfit. A shovel can also be found leaning against a trough. During the training mission with Sunny Smiles, this area is teeming with even more geckos than usual.

The overlook area is initially overrun with a large number of geckos of various sizes, enough to overwhelm a low level character. The overlook is accessed by a path from the lower area near a broken radio tower. The path leads to the top of the ridge, where there is a small encampment. Several broc flowers can be found growing along the trail. In the area of the encampment, three bear traps have been set nearby to protect it. Some of the more notable camp furnishings include a refrigerator and some containers, while nearby is a dead prospector.

Players that have chosen the Wild Wasteland trait will find the prospector's corpse replaced by that of a man named Johnny.

Also added to the location of the corpse are four big red balls. Additionally, on the table, you will see four club aces, and a fifth on the ground next to Johnny which appears to have fallen out of his sleeve or hand. The cards are only decorative and cannot be added to a Caravan deck.

Just North of the Goodsprings Source, a refrigerator carrying a body and the suave gambler hat can be found.

Notable loot
A fully repaired shovel is right beside one of the wells, slightly obscured by a bush.

Appearances
Goodsprings source appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
