Scorpion Gulch

The  is a location in the Mojave Wasteland. As the player might expect, the gulch has Bark Scorpions and Giant Radscorpions swarming there. Through here the player may also reach HELIOS One, without traveling through Nipton in the south.

Layout
Scorpion Gulch lies southeast of the Brotherhood of Steel bunker in Hidden Valley. You will need to go here when looking for a Missing laser pistol which is in the center of the valley on a rock next to a dead wastelander.

Due to its close proximity to Goodsprings and easy accessibility from the start of the game, Scorpion Gulch often proves to be a deathtrap for new players exploring the Mojave Desert on their own, especially as it lacks the Deathclaw signs and Cazador packs that warn the player not to go north, misleading players into thinking travelling east is safe.

Notable Loot

 * The Missing laser pistol may be found upon a boulder in the center of the area.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * There is a bug that when you fast travel to Scorpion Gulch the player spawns high in the air, causing some fall damage when landing.


 * On the PS3 version of the game, there is an apparent no clip glitch near the Helios One entrance to Scorpion Gulch near the dead prospector. At the top of the stairs next to the dead prospector, your character will fall through the ground in front of the grave marker.  You will land at the level of the bottom stair and may exit the cliffside without becoming trapped in the mountain, but there is no way to reach the grave marker
