Cottonwood Crater

The Cottonwood crater is an atomic bomb impact point in the Mojave Wasteland that is highly irradiated.

Layout
This location is reached either by repeatedly jumping up and running along the cliff or via a cave exit from the Fire Root cavern. Follow the small peninsula until it ends and look to the left.

This area overlooks Cottonwood Cove from the southern mountains and contains a few highly radioactive pools (up to 20 rads a second). There are likely to be some golden geckos. Searching this area will disclose the remains of a dead prospector with a Fat Man in poor condition.

Notable loot

 * A Fat Man can be found on a dead prospector.

Appearances
Cottonwood crater appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the dead prospector will not spawn.
 * Sometimes the dead prospector will not be wearing combat armor.
 * Upon entering, a golden gecko may just drop dead.
 * The Fat Man may sometimes not spawn there.
