Long 15

The Long 15 is a location in the former American Southwest $$

Background
It is part of the pre-War Interstate 15 and is used by the New California Republic as a minor military base and a checkpoint for travelers heading to and from the Mojave Wasteland.

The location can only be visited if the Courier decides to launch the nukes at the NCR during the completion of the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Layout
Due to the destruction caused by the nuclear warheads launched at the end of The Apocalypse, the area is populated with irradiated heavy troopers and Glowing Trooper Ghoulss, along with their former commanding officer, Colonel Royez, who is also in a ghoulified state.

The road from the entrance gate leads northwest and southwest around the crater site. The road to the northwest is populated by ghoulified troopers. To the southwest, a gate leads to a destroyed camp consisting of a small firing range, numerous ruined buildings and vehicles, and several crashed vertibirds.

The road through the camp ends at a destroyed medical aid station where the colonel is initially found. Many bodies of dead ghoulified NCR troopers, along with those turned to ash piles, can be found scattered about the area as a result of the blast. Various lootable containers with larger amounts of ammunition and supplies than is typically found in the Mojave Wasteland are concentrated near the overturned trucks, sandbag emplacements, and medical station.

Loot

 * Scorched Sierra power armor - Worn by Colonel Royez.
 * Great Bear Grenade Rifle - In a gun case near Colonel Royez.
 * Plasma Caster - Carried by Colonel Royez.
 * Five sets of NCR Ranger combat armor - Found on dead NCR troopers. One is found hanging over a road railing directly in front of the entrance. Another is found in front of a destroyed truck a short distance from the first. A third is under the collapsed overpass section with a tent frame under it that is a little further down the road than the first two sets of armor. A fourth is found in front of the second truck on the road. The final body is located near the gate to the campsite.
 * Seven suits of NCR Salvaged Power Armor - Three on the irradiated heavy troopers, and four on the bodies of dead NCR heavy troopers.
 * Three high-tech gun cases - One near the highway pillar, containing a Tier 5 Energy Weapons, Guns and Melee Weapons skill weapon with ammo. Two more gun cases lie further down the road, at the end of a block-off-road near an overturned truck, around Glowing Trooper Ghoulss.
 * Two random weapon mods, and three Weapon Repair Kits - In front of the firing range inside of a military shipping crate.

Bugs
Sometimes with Rex as a companion when going around the slanted road, he will go outside the map and will be irretrievable. This can also happen to Veronica as a companion on PC. This can be fixed by going into the dismissal terminal, either at the Gun Runners or the Lucky 38, and dismissing all companions, and then retrieving them again later. Fast travelling may also work.
