Outcast outpost

The  is a small Outcast compound, located in a relatively clean pre-War bunker. The building itself is long gone, with only the red superstructure remaining. It is the primary location for the Operation: Anchorage add-on.

Background
The Outcasts have set up in the remains of the VSS Facility, a pre-War compound of Virtual Strategic Solutions, Inc. to get the combat gear stored in the VSS Armory and whatever else they can get their hands on.

Their previous efforts are illustrated by a dead Gary clone, numbered 23, who can be found in the locked room on the left just before the doorway of the room with the Sim-Pod. His arm is badly mangled and it appears he was beaten with brass knuckles after he died, as implied by the blood trail around a chair in the room's center and a pair of brass knuckles sitting on a table nearby. It is unknown where the Outcasts found Gary 23; they tried to get him to complete the simulation but he died during the "interrogation", so they tried to remove his Pip-Boy 3000 and use it themselves. They tried to reason with him to take off his Pip-Boy 3000 but due having been the product of a failed cloning experiment, he did not understand. A cut Interrogation Log of this can be read here.

Exterior
The outside is a small plaza with an elevator leading into the main outpost. All that's left of the above ground structure is a scaffolding that has three Outcast guards.

Interior
Most of the Outcasts are down here, with a dead Gary in a locked off room. There is a nuclear generator room with nothing of interest, a research room with a password-protected terminal called the VSS Research Terminal, a bedroom with one bed and a gun cabinet, and the VSS armory with all the loot mentioned below. The elevator is housed in a collapsed hallway that opens up into a main chamber linking up to the rest of the facility. This room is guarded by turrets. There is a side chamber that is entirely collapsed and has a bin filled with Abraxo Cleaner. Underneath the Abraxo Cleaner the white container is full of jet and buffouts. The entire complex also has an unusual type of lighting fixtures.

There is a collapsed area to the right as you first enter the outpost; there is no way past but a wooden box is to be found next to the door frame. Inside are several Buffouts.

A locked terminal (very easy) in the chamber where Protector McGraw is located provides details on how the Anchorage Reclamation simulation was developed. See the simulation article for details.

Bugs

 * If you leave the outpost after completion of the simulation, you may be unable to reenter to outpost at a later time to retrieve the armor. A way to bypass the glitch on 360 works as follows: do not hit the switch, but activate the elevator. Then, in the tunnel, activate the switch. You should go up now, taking you back outside. Then do not hit the switch, but the elevator again which should work normally now. Hitting the switch outside results in getting stuck. (Confirmed Xbox 360, PS3)
