X-12 Research Center

The X-12 research center is a location in the Big Empty.

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.

Appearances
X-12 Research Center appears only in 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.
