This Mercenary Camp is an unmarked location in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas. It is located north of the Horowitz Farmstead.
Background
“Without the Wild Wasteland trait, you spot movement among the rocks forming the northern boundary of the Mojave Wasteland. On closer inspection, you stumble across a Mercenary Camp. Be sure you pry the Unique Weapon (and all ammunition) from the leader.”— Tour of the Mojave Wasteland, Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition pp. 301
Layout
Consisting of a campfire surrounded by three benches, and acting as a hearth for four hostile mercenaries. With Wild Wasteland, the camp becomes a zetan alien meeting point with an alien recon craft floating above the nearby cliff face.
Loot
- YCS/186 - Found on one of the mercenaries. It cannot be obtained if the Courier has the Wild Wasteland trait.
- The Alien Blaster replaces the YCS/186 so long as the Wild Wasteland trait is active.
Notes
The UFO that is activated with the Wild Wasteland trait is the exact model used for the Alien Crash Site in Fallout 3.
Appearances
The Mercenary Camp appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Bugs
Sometimes, the mercenaries are friendly and possibly unclothed.
