Camp Searchlight

 is a military installation in the southeastern Mojave Wasteland. The New California Republic once held this camp as their own, until Caesar's Legion detonated a radioactive device within the camp. The New Republic soldiers that weren't flash-vaporized have turned into feral ghouls, and the area is highly radioactive. The city has a green cloud hanging over it which is most prominent during the night.

Layout
contains a school house with a few Golden Geckos inside and a first-aid box containing at least one Stimpak, a house containing the non-hostile ghoulified Private Edwards, two Churches containing (North) Logan and his Prospector companions as they loot the town for the Crimson Caravan Company, and (South) two Golden Geckos and a Mini Nuke (3 Holy Frag Grenades with the Wild Wasteland trait). A trailer park housing several Golden Geckos. Inside the firehouse there are two dead Legion Recruits, a Radscorpion Queen, and Radscorpions. However you will need to either kill, Pickpocket, or join Logan for access as he holds the keys. There are several terminals scattered controlling the turret defense system.

Bugs
In the PS3 & 360 Version, sometimes if you try to approach Camp Searchlight, the game will freeze or all sound will cut out and then freeze.

Green vision is not a bug, but an environment effect supposed to contribute to the ghost-town atmosphere of the place. If it doesn't go away after leaving, just do a fast-travel anywhere.
