188 Trading Post

The  is a marked location in the Mojave Wasteland. You can find Veronica here. It is located directly north of El Dorado Dry Lake, west-northwest of Boulder City, and south of Camp Golf.

Layout
Upon arrival you will see campfires and vehicles/shacks on an over pass. There is an Arms Dealer at the left end of the overpass, and a Companion you can get for free by the center of the overpass, Veronica Santangelo. She is a hand to hand combat specialist, and particularly helpful against tough enemies. Behind Veronica is a Beverage and aid store you can access, the man who owns the place can also repair items. To his right is another dealer who sells almost anything.

Under the bridge there is a Gun Runners weapon merchant named Alexander that will sell you weapons, mods and ammo after passing a skill check of 40 in Guns.

There's a chance that the outpost gets ambushed by Legionary Assassins armed with 10mm and 9mm Submachine Guns lead by a Vexillarius. This foes will probably be too much for the 188 Trading Post's NCR garrison and its traders and wipe out the entire post if not stopped.

Veronica is voiced by Felicia Day, starring actress of the popular web series "The Guild", and can be selected to be your follower in your adventures around the Mojave Wasteland.
