The sniper's nest is a location in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.
Layout[]
Situated west of Cottonwood Cove and south of Ranger Station Echo, the location is comprised of three rusty metal sheets with two for the sides and one for the roof. There is enough room for one person to sleep while another is on duty. When facing Cottonwood Cove from inside the structure, there is a Very Hard-locked gun case to the immediate left. There is also a small camouflaged tent immediately in front of the nest with a perfect view of the entire Cottonwood Cove area.
Notable loot[]
- Gobi Campaign scout rifle - a unique variant of the sniper rifle, found inside the Very Hard-locked gun case.
- One Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap - On a bench in the shack.
Notes[]
- This location is mentioned in the sniper nest location note which can be found in Camp McCarran. The note states that "the sniper" should leave immediately upon completion of his or her objective, due to its proximity to Cottonwood Cove. The note also states that there will not be weaponry at the nest, despite the gun case with the Gobi Campaign scout rifle being found here.
- Even though the location is high enough to conduct reconnaissance on Cottonwood Cove, it would be challenging to eliminate all enemies by way of sniping, due to the distance and the map cell the player character is in being unable to register all Legion troops.
Appearances[]
The sniper's nest appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
