Quarry Junction

The Quarry Junction is a location in the Mojave Wasteland.

Background
The Quarry Junction is a limestone quarry used to produce cement for the New California Republic (NCR). After Powder Gangers stole the dynamite used by the workers there, they returned to Sloan awaiting more from the NCR. While being away from the quarry, it was overrun by a vast number of deathclaws stopping workers from continuing to supply the NCR.

Layout
The quarry has two entrances: The rest of the quarry has natural borders made of large mountains and limestone deposits that prevent entry. The workers and residents of Sloan have even posted signs near the quarry warning travelers that there are deathclaws in that area, even as far as Goodsprings Cemetery.
 * One entrance is found by traveling on the road northeast of Sloan.
 * Another entrance is next to the Great Khan Encampment to the west of Quarry Junction, between Goodsprings Cemetery and Quarry Junction. This entrance has members of the Great Khans nearby, waiting to complete a drug deal.

There are many deathclaws guarding both entrances, and the inside is flooded with even more. There are also young deathclaws, a deathclaw alpha male, and the Mother deathclaw with her litter of deathclaw babies. She's walking around at the back of the quarry near the unmarked location, Matriarch's Den.

There is a generator outside the mining office in Sloan that provides power to Quarry Junction and is not assembled properly. Repairing the generator requires a Repair skill of 35 or greater and changes the response from quarry workers. Alternatively, you can permanently disable the generator by stripping out its parts, resulting in 5 scrap metal, a conductor and a sensor module. Repairing the generator also opens an option with Chomps Lewis right outside Sloan in which he pays you 2 $100 NCR notes, also granting you NCR fame.

There is also a ledge at the entrance when traveling from Sloan along the edge. It is a rocky ledge that you CAN climb but your followers cannot. When on the ledge you can pick off any deathclaw in range one by one. The ledge almost continues along the entire south wall of quarry junction and no deathclaw will be able to reach you. It is a viable strategy for taking out all the deathclaws for characters at lower levels or characters not geared towards combat skills.

Notable loot

 * Fat Man, near a human skeleton in the southwestern pool of water.
 * 2 mini nukes, 1 found just submerged a few feet into the pool of water from the Fat Man, 1 found in the deathclaw Matriarch's Den.
 * Light machine gun in the deathclaw matriarch's den, along with some ammunition.
 * Deathclaw egg (x3) in Matriarch's den.
 * Super stimpak in the deathclaw matriarch's den.

Bugs

 * When you enter Quarry Junction through Sloan, it is possible to get glitched into the rocks near the entrance. This most likely happens from being attacked by a deathclaw and pushed into the rock-work. While glitched it is hard, sometimes impossible, to do damage to attacking deathclaws.
