Next to Nipton Road Pit Stop
Out in the dry lake bed south of the Nipton Road pit stop, the scorpion burrow opens into the ground. Giant radscorpions guard the area and a pack of night stalkers roams nearby. The two normally fight each other, but both turn on you once you are detected.
Inside, a long corridor leads to a large two-room cavern holding five radscorpions and a radscorpion queen. A dead wastelander lies at the start of the corridor and two more in the first room, while the queen's room holds a dead Jackal and a dead prospector to search. Sometimes a living wastelander stands near the entrance. Seven radscorpions respawn 144 in-game hours later.
How to get there
From the Nipton Road pit stop, head south into the dry lake bed and look for the burrow entrance.
Notable loot
- Gear on the dead wastelanders, Jackal and prospector
- Sierra Madre chips (sometimes, on one wastelander, with Dead Money installed)
Tips
- Let the night stalkers and radscorpions fight each other before you move in.
- Save your best ammo for the radscorpion queen in the last room.
