The Prospector's Den

The Prospector's Den is a building constructed inside a cave alcove southeast of Primm and southwest of the Emergency Service Railyard. It was once a rest stop and safehouse for scavengers, but when you arrive it is held by Jackal gang members under a gang leader. A steep path near Primm's southern tip leads up to it, with a campfire further along, and dead prospectors near the entrance still carry weapons and caps worth taking.

Inside are three rooms: a living area with beds, a jukebox, a radio and a refrigerator; the main quarters with eight footlockers and eight mattresses; and a maintenance shack with a first aid box, a reloading bench and a generator. Look for Tumblers Today on the floor in the far right corner of the second room, and a Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap on the chessboard in the jukebox room.

Clearing out the Jackals pays off beyond the loot. Prospectors move in afterwards, including a prospector merchant, and the den becomes a usable safehouse with a reloading bench close to Primm, which is handy early in the game. A bark scorpion sometimes spawns at the entrance after you fast travel here, so do not drop your guard the moment you arrive, even once the gang is gone.
