The Westside West Entrance is one of two gates into Westside, the independent farming district on the western edge of New Vegas. The gate is a makeshift barrier of fence posts, concrete blocks and scrap sheet metal, and members of the Westside Militia patrol it. Inside the fence, just south of the gate, is a small allotment of barrel cacti, coyote tobacco, honey mesquite and banana yucca, which is useful for crafting and Survival recipes.
Westside is a tight-knit community. With help from Tom Anderson, a former Follower of the Apocalypse, it grows its own crops through the Westside Cooperative and defends itself against raids by the Fiends and the Scorpions. Inside you will find Klamath Bob's liquor store, Miguel's Pawn Shop, the Westside Co-op and the Casa Madrid Apartments, and the friendly super mutant Mean Sonofabitch helps keep the Fiends away.
Several quests point here from elsewhere. The White Wash, which starts with Lieutenant Boyd at Camp McCarran looking into a missing soldier, leads to Westside, The Coyotes sends you to ask Saint James and Dermot about missing refugees, and Red Lucy starts Bleed Me Dry down in The Thorn. Residents are wary of strangers but not hostile, so this gate is a safe way into the city from the northwest.
How to get there
From the Horowitz Farmstead, head south-southeast to the scrap-metal gate on Westside's west side.
