Howitzer

The howitzer is a pre-War weapons system that was used by the United States Armed Forces. A large number of these weapons were stored in various arms depots across the country, useless to anyone without proper training.

Fallout 2

 * A still-functioning howitzer can be used to gain access to the Sierra Army Depot.


 * Algernon in New Reno has been provided with a howitzer by Eldridge for repairs (although what use could he have from such ordnance in his basement is unknown).

Fallout: New Vegas

 * The Boomers acquired several of these guns from Area 2 to protect Nellis Air Force Base from enemies.


 * Dale Barton salvaged a howitzer from a military base in Yuma, Arizona (presumably the Marine Corp Air Station Yuma) and then sold it to Caesar's Legion. The Legion hopes to use it during the Second Battle of Hoover Dam for suppressing 1st Recon and Veteran Ranger snipers, but without a Howitzer Firing Mechanism, they've been unable to coax it to working order.
