Broken Hills mine

The Broken Hills mine is a location within Broken Hills.

Background
The Broken Hills uranium mine is worked by the town's super mutant population. The radiation in the mine has minimal effect on them and their great strength aids in the physically taxing labor. The mine requires an air purifier, as the toxic gas build-up causes the mine to become inoperable unless it is regularly filtered. The town's lifeblood comes from the uranium mine.

Layout
The mine consists of several tunnels and creatures within, including giant ants, radscorpions, and a deathclaw. At the end of the mine shaft is an air purifier. However, a part is required to fix it. There is also a secret section of the cave just beyond the entrance, after turning to the right. Walk past the rock formation to find Chuck Stodgers and a footlocker.

Loot

 * Uranium ore - In the footlocker in the secret cave

Appearances
The Broken Hills mine appears only in Fallout 2.
