Gun Runners is a location in the Mojave Wasteland. It is located just south of Freeside and is run by a trade group called the Gun Runners, who specialize in the manufacturing and selling of firearms.
Layout
Exterior
Vendortron and Isaac are outside the compound. A reloading bench is set up next to the kiosk.
Entering the Gun Runners complex is trespassing, and causes the guards on the premises (excluding Vendortron) to turn hostile. However, they will return to neutral between 24 and 48 hours, even if you killed some of them.
Interior
The Gun Runners' building is a single story building that consists of a main lobby and a handful of other rooms. From the entrance directly ahead is a workshop on the opposite side of the lobby. Within the workshop is a computer terminal containing the manufacturing specifications, which will be needed by the Crimson Caravan's Alice McLafferty for the quest, You Can Depend on Me. A "living quarters" section of the building is located to the left upon entering the lobby. This portion of the Gun Runner Headquarters is made up of a kitchen, off of which are a bathroom and bedroom.
Within the building is a single Gun Runner guard and three gunsmiths. The guard remains stationary in the kitchen in combat armor, armed with a hunting rifle. Should the player enter during the day, they will move from the bedroom to the workshop a few moments after entering the building. They will be sleeping at night.
It should be noted that although all the guards and gunsmiths attack you on sight when around and inside the building, all items found are not owned and thus can be taken without any karma penalty. Vendortron outside will continue to serve players despite any hostile actions they or the player might have had in the headquarters (although the Vendortron will temporarily refuse to serve the player while the guards are in battle mode).
Notable loot
- 1 Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap in the little basket next to the metal table in the lobby. The basket contains three empty Sunset Sarsaparillas, and the cap can be found in the bottom.
Notes
- Vendortrons inventory changes on Wednesdays and Sundays. This can be useful for buying weapon mods.
- The Gun Runners appear as the 10 of hearts on the collector's edition card deck.
- Killing anyone on the premises does not give negative karma or affect reputation with any faction, making the guards a very good source of free combat armor.
- Killing any or all of the Gun Runners' gunsmiths and guards will not prevent you from purchasing items from Vendortron.
- The weapons seen against the wall in the Vendortron kiosk are just static models, not actual weapons, and cannot be picked up even by using glitches and console commands.
- After the player finishes Honest Hearts, the Gun Runners will start selling .45 Auto pistols and .45 Auto submachine guns, along with .45 Auto rounds and will always stock both of the weapon mods for the Honest Hearts weapons.
- The interior of the building is single-story but the exterior has three floors.
- There is a poster near the Gun Runners work space, featuring a turtle and a saying from a 1950's advertisement telling children to "Duck and Cover" in the case of an Atomic Bomb explosion.
- There is a Companion dismissal terminal on the outside wall of the box where the Vendortron is located, after the patch 1.4.0.525.
- If the guards respawn after being killed, them turning hostile might also cause Isaac to turn hostile toward you. In order to interact with Isaac, you must wait for the Gun Runners to turn neutral again after some time.
- Archimedes II is able to penetrate through the Vendortron's bulletproof shack, causing it to be hostile. However, it cannot be killed.
- Weapons sold at Gun Runners are not actually in 100 percent condition, but at 98 percent.
Bugs
The Vendortron in front of the Gun Runners' main gate has a bug in which purchased items are fully repaired after the point-of-sale. This is obviously exploitable, as it allows players to sell old used gear for expected prices, re-buy the same gear at the expected markup, and receive a full (and free) repair in the process. It is important to note that this bug will not reveal itself until after conversation with the Vendortron is fully terminated, after which time the player will discover the item to be fully repaired. After reselling the newly repaired item back to the Vendortron (for a substantial profit), the player may discover that the Vendortron's inventory now contains two copies of the same item: One which is fully repaired, and a second which will have the same repair level as the original item, making it possible to exploit the same piece of gear repeatedly. Note: This bug does not occur reliably - see Talk page for details.- Upon buying items to use on the reloading bench (such as primers, shells, and powder) the game will crash after trying to come out of the bartering mode, but only after the items have been purchased.
- If Vendortron's caps exceed around 30,000 it will not go below this, no matter how much you sell to him. This is not exploitable as everything you sell will not award you the designated value and will simply give the weapons over to Vendortron.
- The store may not update when the gate to the Gun Runners' base is opened.
- It is possible to be super-bounced into the air in front of the Gun Runners store, after trading inventory with a companion and turning around to face the Vendortron. This leads to the player character dying from the fall, unless the player is able to land on the roof of the Vendertron's kiosk, then fall to the ground
- After visiting the Gun Runners the game may crash on next Save.
- When you exhaust the Vendortron's caps, save the game and exit to Xbox dashboard. When you play game and load your save, the Vendortron's caps will be replenished.
- If you try to attack Vendortron through the glass of the store and then enter the building, it will then appear in the Gun Runners building, and there is no way to defeat it as it seems to be invincible.
- The Vendortron sometimes spawns outside of the store.
- If you attempt to attack the Vendortron through the glass, (most likely with a unarmed or melee weapon) you may end up killing it. He usually contains some microfusion cells and scrap metal or scrap electronics.
- If the guards do respawn, they will be hostile. It is unknown why, as they may have been "resurrected" by the game and due to former hostilities, will shoot you on sight.
- The three gunsmiths may not attack you when you are shooting them. Instead, they will continue to work and watch you, as if you are doing nothing wrong.
- If you sell a modded weapon to Vendortron, buying it back will cause all of the weapon's mods to vanish.
- The Gun Runner Guards might never respawn again.
- Sometimes upon visiting the Gun Runners store for the first time at a lower level, the Vendortron's weapon inventory may have all of the guns that are normally available at a later level, bypassing the level requirements for the Vendortron to stock those items.
- Upon fast-traveling, the player might hear a slow ticking kind of noise, and when the Vendortron is spoken to once, he will say "the store is currently closed due to unforeseen circumstances. Please try again later." After visiting a second time, everything goes back to normal.
- On very rare occasions, Isaac will oddly disappear even when you're seeing him. He will not reappear no matter how long you wait.
- There are a few energy cells on a workbench in the Gun Runners building. When the player picks one up, the others fall through the bench to the floor, usually becoming unobtainable.
