Mojave outpost

The Mojave Outpost is an NCR outpost in the Mojave Wasteland. It is near two large statues which "symbolize unity" (in actuality representing the historic merging of the two "Ranger" groups of the area under the cause of the New Californian Republic). This base is a bit of an administrative headquarters for the area of Primm, having a medium-sized garrison of NCR troops stationed there and supplies from local caravans are often distributed there (though with decreasing frequency after a series of attacks on caravans in the local area). You can help the base or not in the quest "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize". The troops here are welcoming to most wastelanders, offering them shelter in the nearby barracks, given that they don't have a bad standing with the Republic.

Layout
The outpost consists of two buildings in a valley, one of which is the administrative area, the other being the barracks. There is a fence enclosing the two buildings on all sides, and several piles of sandbags for defence. It is part of what was once a highway toll station. The northern end of the valley is overshadowed by two large statues and the southern is enclosed by rock walls.

The gate to the southwest continues along the I-15, however it is locked and requires a key to open. It is thought that it will be an access point for a future DLC - perhaps even Dead Money, as the best real-life route from Las Vegas to Sierra Madre goes right through where the Mojave Outpost would be.

Background
In the year 2271, the Desert Rangers of Nevada and the rangers of the New California Republic met at this spot to sign the Ranger Unification Treaty. Under this treaty, the Desert Rangers agreed to be absorbed into the NCR in exchange for NCR's protection of Hoover Dam, New Vegas, and southern Nevada against the forces of Caesar's Legion.

Notable Loot

 * Duck and Cover! inside the Barracks, on the bottom shelf, in the middle, below the bar counter. You might have to grab it and move it in order to take it undetected.
 * 3 Nuka-Cola Quartz on a shelf behind the bar.
 * 3 Ice Cold Nuka-Cola on the upper shelf behind the bar (opposite side from the Nuka-Cola Quartz bottles).
 * Sunset Sarsaparilla and food items in sacks/crates adjacent to the bar door.
 * Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap on the counter on the backside of the bar next to an Empty Sunset Sarsaparilla bottle.

Bugs

 * The caravan trader stationed here is bugged. If one tries to buy the Queen of Spades from him, the game will freeze up. This bug becomes less noticeable and almost non existent the further east or down the slope the merchant is when one meets him to get goods.
 * It is possible to win an infinite amount of caps from Lacey by wininng Caravan saving and quitting after each win, since this will reset Lacey's inventory including her available caps up to 3000+ after each reload. You may also use this technique to farm cards for your Caravan Deck or special ammo as Lacy tends to have several available.
 * There is a humourous bug in the administrative building where sometimes the NCR Troopers will be sitting at desks typing at typewriters, however the actual typewriter will not be present.
 * A very rare bug is that when you get to close to mojave outpost it will freeze up this very hard if you have got a quest to hand in
 * There is a rare bug when you fast travel to the outpost and speak to the caravan trader then entering the building where Major Knight is in will crash the game. Sometimes reloading to game will not fix the bug. Going straight to the building without speaking to anybody at the outpost will not activate the bug.
