The Boulder City ruins are an unmarked location within Boulder City in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[]
Circa. 2277, the New California Republic was embroiled in the First Battle of Hoover Dam against Caesar's Legion, where they struck a decisive victory against the Legion by luring the bulk of their forces into Boulder City, which had been preemptively filled with high explosives, then detonated them, killing most of the enemy along with 107 of their own who could not escape in time; their names were later inscribed on the nearby Boulder City Memorial outside the ruins.
In 2281, on their way back to New Vegas, Benny and a group of Great Khans including Jessup and McMurphy were forced to seek shelter in the ruins after coming into conflict with an NCR patrol led by Lt. Monroe, taking a pair of hostages, Pvt. Ackerman and Pvt. Gilbert, while Benny was solely able to slip away back to the Strip with the platinum chip, leaving the Great Khans trapped.
Layout[]
Situated on the east side of the area, the entrance to the ruins is controlled by Monroe and talking to him will trigger Boulder City Showdown.
The interior section largely consists of rubble and debris save for the southwest corner which has the Great Khan hideout, initially surrounded by several Great Khans, with Jessup inside the building itself.
Notable Loot[]
- Jessup's bandana - Worn by Jessup in the Great Khan hideout.
- Engraved cigarette lighter - Found on Jessup; it is either taken from his body after killing him or given by him if Boulder City Showdown is completed by negotiating the hostages' release and the Khans' safety.
