Next to Nipton
East of Nipton along Nevada State Route 164, the Viper Gang has set a trap among overturned trucks and wrecked cars. Once they spot you, Vipers open fire both from the road and from the cliffs on either side. The nearest fast travel point is Nipton itself, just to the west.
Frag mines dot the ground, some in plain sight and others hidden under brush and traffic cones, so move slowly. In the first wreck you reach coming from Nipton, a Sunset Sarsaparilla crate in the back of a tilted truck holds a star bottle cap.
How to get there
Leave Nipton heading east along Route 164 and stop at the first cluster of wrecked trucks.
Notable loot
- Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap (crate in the back of the tilted truck)
Tips
- Look under brush and traffic cones for hidden frag mines.
- Deal with the Vipers on the cliffs early; they have the high ground.
