Crashed Vertibird

The Crashed Vertibird is the wreckage of a Vertibird.

Layout
A VB-02 Vertibird (serial number VEM-105 2193) from Navarro can be found crashed in a crater east of the Old nuclear test site and south of Matthews Animal Husbandry farm, close to hardened sentry bots and/or hardened Mister Gutsy model enemies. Note that these enemies differ, sometimes the guardians are feral ghouls. The wreckage is surrounded by a few skeletons and the Tesla-Beaton prototype.

Notable loot

 * The Tesla-Beaton prototype, a unique Tesla cannon is found at the rear of the crashed vertibird.
 * Miscellaneous ammunition (mostly missiles, energy cells and flamer fuel) on the sentry bot and Mister Gutsies.

Appearances
Crashed Vertibird appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
This location, along with the hostile robots you encounter upon discovering the location, is an homage to the crashed Vertibird in Klamath Canyon in Fallout 2. Daisy Whitman in Novac mentions the Klamath crashed Vertibird in her dialogue, stating that she only lost one due to "rotor failure over Klamath".

A deceased non-player character named "Vertibird Pilot" is included in the resources for Fallout: New Vegas, but not used. Presumably this non-player character was meant to be placed at the crash site at some point during development. Among the dead pilot's inventory is a Red Sector Key Card, a further reference to the Klamath Canyon site, more specifically to the Yellow Reactor Keycard found on one of the deceased pilots.

Bugs

 * Sometimes, no robots appear at or around the crash site, or appear in very small numbers. If no robots are at the site, be cautious of your location if you save. Restoring can cause all 8 hardened robots to suddenly appear in and around the crater. Robots may also spawn on a later visit to the site.
 * After an initial visit to the crashed Vertibird, the sentry bots and Gutsies that spawn there may spawn closer to the old nuclear test site at random.
