Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters

 is a location in Fallout: New Vegas. It is the headquarters of the company Sunset Sarsaparilla. It is located northwest of El Rey Motel and directly west of NCR Sharecropper Farms.

It is an important location as it contains a large number of Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles hidden away in crates (most of them on the assembly line) as well as at least eight hundred and seventy-six Empty Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles.

As you enter the factory to your left is the famed Festus cowboy who asks for your Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle caps. Asking him "Star Info" reveals the contest and triggers the quest The Legend of the Star.

Another great find here is a terminal that activates a maintenance robot, Mr Janitor, who collects bottle caps and then disposes them in a garbage can by the maintenance office he is found in for a total of over 550 Bottle caps.

As we learn from one of the logs inside, the building damage is due to moisture as well as attackers.

On the Ground Floor, there is a Very Hard Locked Door. Access requires you to go up one staircase and down another. Oddly, there is a 2nd Very Hard locked door down here, but the door is clearly swung open and would have otherwise lead to a room of rubble. Opening it earns exp but nothing else.

In the shipping room, there is an average locked terminal. Activating the terminal reveals a discussion regarding an experimental delivery robot that was reportedly single-handedly running all the distribution in the Vegas area.

In the bottling room, there is a lone surviving bottling robot. When talking to him, he first talks to you as you would be his master, but after realizing you're not he becomes hostile and attacks you. Just like with most Mr. Handy models, upon looting him you will be able to recover all of his spare flamer fuel. (there may be some way to trick this robot into making bottle caps using the press machine. Loot from the prospector using the machine? unconfirmed)

Notable Loot

 * Pew Pew next to the dead body of Allen Marks, in the room you go to during the quest A Valuable Lesson. There are about 100+ caps in each of the crates in this room.


 * In the Shipping room it is possible to find an empty bottle of Nuka-Cola a possible reference to the fact Pepsi employees are not allowed to drink Coca-Cola.


 * Programmer's Digest on the table to the right as soon as you enter (via the over-sized Sarsaparilla bottle)


 * First Aid Boxes containing randomised medical supplies located in the bathrooms throughout the building.


 * A Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap in an average-locked wall safe in the office with a hole in the floor.

Update: a total of 87 bottles have been collected inside (and around) the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquaters, need confirmation.
 * Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles there are about 43 full bottles in crates behind the active bottling robot, and about 10 more bottles outside the headquarters on the right hand side of the building behind some trucks.


 * After entering the headquarters through the front door, go straight through the double doors and there are 80-150 Bottle Caps in the bathroom in an ash pile, along with some various drugs, also about 4 more Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles in a vending machine


 * There are about 450 caps in a trash can in one of the hallways on the upper level.
