“A vertibird. Interesting. It's been a long time since I've seen one of these.”— Arcade Gannon
The crashed vertibird is a location in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.
Layout[]
Situated east of the old nuclear test site and south of Matthews Animal Husbandry Farm, a vertibird bearing Enclave markings rests at the bottom of a large crater. Hostile hardened sentry bots and/or hardened Mister Gutsies are nearby. Feral ghouls may also roam on the outskirts. A few skeletons and the Tesla-Beaton prototype are near the wreckage.
Notable loot[]
- Tesla-Beaton prototype - a unique variant of the Tesla cannon, found near the rear of the crashed aircraft.
Related quest[]
- For Auld Lang Syne: Bringing Arcade Gannon to the location will garner 1 of 5 required "history points" to trigger the quest.
Notes[]
The aircraft's serial number, VEM-105 2193 is the same as the one found on the vertibird stored inside the Remnants bunker.
Appearances[]
The crashed vertibird appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes[]
- The location, along with the hostile robots encountered upon its discovery, serve as a reference to the crashed vertibird found in Klamath Canyon in Fallout 2.
- A deceased character named "Vertibird pilot" was included in the resources for Fallout: New Vegas but was not used in the game's final release. This character was presumably meant to be placed at the crash site at some point during development. Among the dead pilot's inventory is a red sector key card, a further reference to the Klamath Canyon site, more specifically to the yellow reactor keycard found on one of the deceased pilots found in that location.
