The Gypsum train yard is a location in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.
Layout[]
Situated northwest of the cap counterfeiting shack and west of Bitter Springs, the outside is normally patrolled by many blind deathclaws and young deathclaws.
The office building is occupied by three giant ants, whose bodies may or may not contain ant nectar and/or an ant egg or two. In addition, there are ten ant egg clutches, most of them containing ant meat.
There is also an irradiated pool of drinkable water located against the southern cliffs in the area, near the two front loaders and conveyor belt.
Notable loot[]
- One Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap - On the desk in the rear of the Gypsum quarry office.
Notes[]
- There is a large possibility for the star bottle cap to find itself thrown around the room and with the possibility of becoming lost during the inevitable battle with residing ants in the confined space within. It may also clip through the desk, at which point it is impossible to retrieve without console commands or lucky explosives usage.
- There is an unmarked train tunnel (with a Very Hard lock on both ends) north of the train yard that leads to Nellis Air Force Base and may be used to avoid the howitzer bombardment when approaching the Boomers' base.
- Deathclaws may follow the player into the office, where they will fight the giant ants if they're still alive.
Appearances[]
The Gypsum train yard appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes[]
The in-game Gypsum train yard is located in the same geographical area as the real-world Nevada Industrial Switch Railway Station serving PABCO Gypsum Mine in northeast Las Vegas, Nevada.
Bugs[]
The Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap does not always appear. Reloading from a previous save may fix this. Alternatively tossing a frag grenade into the area of the desk (with the dead terminal) seems to shake it loose and make the bottle cap re-appear on the desk.[verified]- A deathclaw may spawn near the train tunnel that is completely immortal. Its health can be depleted to 0% but further attacks will not kill it. However, it may indeed eventually die, though this seems to be uncommon.[verification overdue]
- Some of the young and blind deathclaws may spawn in with the baby deathclaw model instead of their proper appearance. Despite using the model of a baby deathclaw, V.A.T.S. and search prompts will still label them as blind and young deathclaws and they still possess the deeper growls, snarls, and groans of pain as older deathclaws. In addition, they will also have the same amount of health and damage output as a baby deathclaw.[verified]
