Searchlight Airport is a pre-war airfield directly south of Camp Searchlight, running parallel to Highway 95 with a reinforced tunnel beneath the runways. It has one north-south runway, two east-west runways, a control tower and a main terminal, but none of the buildings can be entered and the terminal is firmly sealed. The perimeter fence still stands, and the only way inside is a collapsed tunnel on the north side.

Radscorpions of various sizes are the resident threat, so bring something that punches through armor and a cure for their poison. The reason to visit is the loot outside. Two trunks on the west side of the terminal can hold a large stack of caps that scales with your level and Luck, and an ammo box and two metal boxes under the jet at the west end of the runway sometimes hold energy weapons, ammo and missiles.

How to get there

From Camp Searchlight, head directly south and enter through the collapsed tunnel on the airport's north side.

Notable loot

  • Caps (two trunks on the west side of the main terminal)
  • Ammo box and metal boxes (under the jet at the west end of the runway)

Tips

  • Check both trunks by the terminal; the cap count scales with level and Luck.
  • Carry antivenom or extra stimpaks for radscorpion poison.
