REPCONN Test Site

The REPCONN test site is a former rocket testing facility almost directly west of Novac and just south of Scorpion Gulch. Its main inhabitants are ghouls, feral ghouls, Bright followers, glowing ones and, in the basement level, nightkin.

Layout
The complex was once a REPCONN facility used to launch their rockets. Three of REPCONN's rockets are still usable, and are fired either into space or into the ground during the quest "Come Fly With Me".

The REPCONN Facility is a vast compound nestled within a bowl-like valley. As you enter into the facility via the road heading north you will encounter a few feral ghouls and see some nightkin dead near the entrance and scattered about the grounds. You can approach the actual building from the southeast side near some mixing tanks, there is a broken fence and some collapsed ground that will allow you to get up onto the concrete walk way that leads to the main entrance. If you approach from the south and chose to go towards the monument/traffic circle you will encounter five ghouls/glowing ones, and then two more after you get near the main entrance. Upstairs in the bright follower area there are medical supplies, some components and random loot, but these all must be stolen with loss of karma even if you positively complete the Come Fly With Me quest and the ghouls leave.

Notable loot

 * At the entrance of the facility there is a Stealth Boy on a nightkin corpse, but it can only be picked up off the floor next to him. All of the nightkin have rebar clubs, with the exception of the jailer, who has an incinerator. One dead nightkin by Harland has a nailboard in decent repair on the ground beside him.
 * Stealth Boy on the dining table in the room marked with a "Food" sign at the basement of main building.
 * Space suit and helmet on a shelf in the very last room of the basement, where you get the final assignments for the quest Come Fly With Me.
 * High density of components for weapon repair kit specifically wrenches, wonderglue, scrap metal and scrap electronics.
 * Similarly high density of fission batteries, conductors, pilot lights, sensor modules, and other semi-valuable items such as paint guns and Abraxo cleaner in the basement, which can be used in certain quests or sold, and of cigarettes, both single and in packs spread throughout the site. Hundreds of caps can be earned from looting this building alone, conveniently located near Cliff Briscoe's shop and the Gibson Scrap Yard.
 * There is a hunting revolver located on the second floor of the main test site facility next to the easy locked safe and a skeleton. To find it, enter through the main doors and go straight ahead and up the flight of stairs behind the reception desk. The safe and revolver will be behind the easy locked door on your left.
 * On the second floor of the main test site facility behind an easy locked door is the manager's room, which has lots of ammunition on filing cabinets and an average locked safe containing 2 Stealth Boys.
 * The dead Bright Brotherhood members outside carry energy weapons that grow increasingly more powerful, depending on the Courier's level. At low levels you will find laser pistols and rifles, but starting at level 14 or higher you can find recharger pistols and Plasma Defenders (sometimes these weapons will spawn if you're at lower levels, sometimes as low as 8).
 * A large number of microfusion cells may be found on the dead Bright Brotherhood members.
 * 10 Destroyed party hats can be found in the Repconn Test Site behind a Very Easy locked door where you encounter the Bright Followers.
 * A few chems, scattered near a skeleton which is laying in a slightly irradiated depression of the ground, found proceeding from the central monument toward the southern mountainside of the valley.

Behind the scenes

 * The constant explosions at REPCONN, as well as the name, are a reference to the PEPCON disaster, which killed two people and caused chemical fires and explosions to break out in a five-mile radius near Las Vegas.
 * The music played during and after the launch sequence is The Ride of the Valkyries, by Richard Wagner.
