Howitzer

The howitzer is a pre-War weapons system that was used by the United States Armed Forces. A large number of these weapons were stored in various arms depots across the country, useless to anyone without proper training.

Fallout 2

 * A still-functioning howitzer can be used to gain access to the Sierra Army Depot.


 * Algernon in New Reno has been provided with a howitzer by Eldridge for repairs (although what use could he have from such ordnance in his basement is unknown).

Fallout: New Vegas

 * The Boomers acquired several of these guns from Area 2 to protect Nellis Air Force Base from enemies.


 * Dale Barton salvaged a howitzer from a military base in Yuma, Arizona (presumably the Marine Corp Air Station Yuma, built in 1959) and then sold it to Caesar's Legion for the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, but without a Howitzer Firing Mechanism, they've been unable to coax it to working order.


 * Many howitzers can be found at Caesar's Camp, but they all seem to be broken when you try to access it.


 * There is one howitzer at Caesar's Camp that you can repair (through a quest which is given to the Courier by Lucius inside Caesar's tent) but it cannot be used, or any of the howitzers, even though they are functional. They are only seen in use for the final battle at Hoover Dam and during the player's initial approach to Nellis Air Force Base.

Appearances
