Gibson Scrap Yard

The Gibson scrap yard is a location in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. It is located north of Novac. It is the home and business of Old Lady Gibson.

Background
Together with her husband, Old Lady Gibson scavenged the nearby REPCONN test site, scrapping and selling everything they could from the location. Continuing to operate the scrapyard after her husband's death, she offers repair services and sells a variety of items. Living with her at the scrapyard are several pet dogs, including Basura, Rey, Reina, Colmillo, Fiel, and Audaz.

Layout
Gibson scrap yard consists of the scrapyard itself and a garage that serves as Old Lady Gibson's residence. The scrapyard has a gated entrance and several winding paths through piles of destroyed vehicles and tires. There are a few dumpsters with various miscellaneous items and owned metal boxes on the easternmost shelving units.

Opposite the entrance to the scrapyard is Old Lady Gibson's garage. The garage is comprised of two rooms, the first containing a table and chairs, a fridge, and a broken Nuka-Cola vending machine. The second room is the much larger garage area, containing a number of shelves, a motorcycle, and owned beds.

Notable loot

 * Big Boomer - A unique variant of the sawed-off shotgun, owned by Old Lady Gibson.
 * Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap - In the garage room, on the bottom shelf along the east wall.

Bugs

 * The Sunset Sarsaparilla cap near the tires may not appear.
 * The contents of the outside of Gibson scrap yard may occasionally spawn outside of HELIOS One, Including two mole rats, and all of Old Lady Gibson's dogs. All of these animals will be hostile. This bug is preceded by the noise metal barrels make when moved. It can be fixed by reloading the autosave.
 * Sometime after discovering the location, if you fast-travel to the location, the nightkin master carrying The Screams of Brahmin holotape will spawn here, even if killed previously. If the player character chooses to attack the nightkin master, Old Lady Gibson, and her dogs will become hostile to the player character.
 * Inside a dumpster is a fission battery which cannot be interacted with. The other objects in the dumpster behave normally.
