Wolfhorn ranch is a location in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[]
Sometime before 2281, the ranch hosted a bighorner cattle operation that was quite successful, but it was later abandoned by the owner and left vacant.[Non-game 1]
Layout[]
Situated east of Nipton, just south of where Nevada State Route 164 divides to Ranger Station Charlie in the north and to Camp Searchlight in the south, the main building exists as a one-room shack, containing a stove, armor locker, two lockers and a bed. Surrounding the building is evidence of recent farming. There is a windmill, constructed walkways, crops and various tools littered around the area. There is also an irradiated water source just outside the ranch. Near the flag pole is a grave, overlooking Nevada 164. A radio nearby will be tuned to Radio New Vegas.
Notable loot[]
- Chopper - a unique variant of the cleaver, found lying on top of the stove inside the farmhouse.
- A copy of Tumblers Today - Near the fridge, on the floor.
Notes[]
- The location can be used as player housing as containers here do not respawn, so items can be safely stored here. The bed can be used to sleep, but it will not provide the Well Rested effect.
- Faint whispering can be heard near the grave. A shovel is not required to loot it.
- Legionary assassins and/or NCR Ranger hit squads may spawn northwest of here if one has a poor reputation with Caesar's Legion and/or the NCR.
- To the north, next to the nearest roadside billboard advertising Fancy Lads Snack Cakes, a dead Bright follower can be found.
Appearances[]
Wolfhorn ranch appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes[]
- In the Italian, Spanish, French and German versions of Fallout: New Vegas, the Wolfhorn Ranch is called "Accampamento di Ulysses," "Campamento Ulises," "Camp d'Ulysses" and "Ulysses Lager." All four designations translate to "Ulysses' Camp."
- According to Chris Avellone, the grave located on the hill near the ranch was added as a reference to Ulysses being cut from the base game,[Non-game 2] where he would have served as a companion that supported the Legion (much like Boone with the NCR), before he was instead remade for the overarching story of the add-ons up to his official debut in Lonesome Road.

What was once a profitable Bighorner ranch has recently been abandoned, and its owner—a man named Ulysses—is nowhere to be found. Scour the place, especially the farmhouse itself (which has most of the items you want). Down at the bottom of the garden is a well and a tank with irradiated water (only sip if you're desperate), and an allotment with a few plants to pick."
