X-12 Research Center

"X-12 is closed until further notice. On an unrelated note, whoever closed X-12 Please report to the Dome"

- Klein ''

The X-12 research center is a location in the Big MT, directly southwest of The Think Tank.

Layout
An upgraded sonic emitter pistol is needed to get past the force field blocking the stairs going down. On the bottom floor below, the Y-17 master trauma harness is wandering around. After disposing of it, three more Y-17 trauma override harness entities will spawn at the front door.

Notable loot

 * Light Switch 01 Upgrade: Smart Lights is found on the bottom floor leaning on the projector.
 * K9000 cyberdog gun - The Y-17 master trauma harness will have it in his inventory.
 * .357 magnum rounds - Over 100 downstairs on the left side of the staircase.
 * 8 proton throwing axes - Found on the bottom floor, inside the podium in the corner of the room.
 * Through the doors on the Mid level, there are ammunition boxes at the end of the halls with various ammunition.
 * Two deluxe Chemistry sets located on the bottom floor. One is on a desk with broken monitors next to the staircase, and the other is in the southeast corner of the room on a table.

Appearances
X-12 research center appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Behind the Scenes
If you have the Wild Wasteland trait, the Y-17 master trauma harness and the three regular Y-17s that spawn upon his death will say and repeat "Hey, who turned out the lights?" A reference to the Doctor Who episode "Silence in the Library".

Bugs

 * If the Y-17 master trauma harness detects the player it may pass through the forcefield and commence attacking, spawning the other enemies upon his death.
 * The Y-17 master trauma harness may be able to shoot the player through the forcefield, but without the sonic emitter he cannot be killed.
 * When outside the facility the game may become very slow and crash.
