“At the end of the High Road lies Ashton - its silo. That machine with you, it can open it, wake it up like it did the one in Hopeville.”— Ulysses
The Ashton missile silo is a location in the Divide in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.
Background[]
Prior to the Great War, Ashton and Hopeville were chosen as the site of several nuclear missile silos fielded by the US Army and managed by the Commonwealth Defense Administration's Ballistic Defense Division.
Following the nuclear apocalypse and later the destruction of the Divide sometime before 2281, all but a single missile were destroyed, which remained in its silo within the Ashton facility until the Courier returned to the Divide in 2281, where they were forced to launch the missile in order to break the lockdown on the facility, resulting in the creation of the Courier's Mile when it detonated over southwestern Hopeville.[1]
Layout[]
When first entering the silo, a long wide room leads to an open transport lift. Several tunnelers appear further on. To progress, a lift must be activated. The lift leads down to the lower level of the silo. Tunnelers wander the path. The lift area appears only once. Subsequent entry to the silo from the outside leads directly to the following room. The lift exits into a small control room with a desk and computer equipment. There is a stairway to the left that leads downwards, and two doors ahead and to the right. The door straight ahead leads into the level 1 corridor, while the righthand door leads to the level 1 launch deck.
Following the catwalk around the level 1 launch deck leads to a room accessible only by hacking the Hard locked terminal next to the blast door. Past the room is another door that leads back to the corridor noted above. Off the corridor is a locked office, unlockable via the Average locked terminal next to it, and a medical room guarded by a sentry bot. Within the medical room are an Auto-Doc and a commissary terminal.
From the control room, going down the staircase leads to the level 2 launch deck catwalk, with an Average locked storeroom and a staircase that leads down to the remains of level 3. The left of the blast crater by the launched missile leads to more tunnelers before the silo exit to the Sunstone Tower roof.
Notable loot[]
- Eyebot upgrade circuit board - Inside the locked room along the catwalk from the level 1 launch deck. To get there, stay on level 1 and go through the medical area. Go through the rear door of the medical area, and turn right. The Hard-locked terminal is to the side of the metal door. On the right side of the room is the destroyed eyebot with the circuit board. Picking it triggers a completion flag for ED-Ecated.
- A copy of Big Book of Science - In the north corner of the wreckage of the level 3 launch deck after the missile launch, just past a Hard locked safe. The book is to the left when facing the safe. The easiest way to find it is to jump down from the catwalk just after entering the silo on level 2.
- Riot gear - A full set can be found in a locker behind an Easy-locked door on launch deck level 2.
