A group of seven Nightstalkers spawn at the mouth of the cave, which contains some bones from previous prey. A Hollowed-Out Rock is located straight ahead when facing away from the cave entrance.
The inside of the cavern is a relatively small cave filled with purple fungus. In the middle, a Duffle Bag can be found between the remains of earlier victims. The cavern's main corridor branches to a north room that is filled with fournight stalkers.
The western room contains five Nightstalkers and a high level loot Duffle Bag. After three days, if the Nightstalkers are killed, up to 13 other Nightstalkers will respawn (4 x 100% chance, 5 x 75% chance, and 4 x 50% chance, first random encounter). After another four days, if four Nightstalkers are killed (those having 100% chance of re-spawning), two Deathclaws and two young Deathclaws will spawn (second and last random encounter).
Loot
A suit of Reinforced Combat Armor with a helmet can be found in a Duffle Bag in the cave's western room.
Appearances
Walking Box Cavern appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes
Walking Box Cavern is located in the same geographical area as the real world Walking Box Ranch along Nevada State Route 164 in the Mojave Desert.
Bugs
Companions (confirmed with ED-E and Veronica) can "disappear" while in the cave. The player will still receive their companion perks, but will not be able to see them or talk to them. Using the map to travel to a marker (even to Walking Box Cavern) seems to fix the problem.
The western cave contains a large square texture that has a darker brown color compared to the surrounding area.
