Good to know
- Clearing it gives 1,500 XP.
- It earns 750 Trust and 1,200 credits at Hot Springs.
- Rippers hold it.
- It sits west of the Iron Butte Pass NERO Checkpoint and south of the Patjens Lakes Infestation.
- Loot includes two gas cans, six scrap and a small pipe.
How to approach it
Scout from cover with Survival Vision, then take quiet kills with the crossbow or a suppressed gun. If it goes loud, fall back to a doorway and let them come to you. Rippers often rush you once alerted, so a shotgun at close range helps.
What's there
The small pipe and gas cans are useful for crafting. Killing everyone isn't enough: find the bunker hatch and read the map inside to clear the camp. The bunker then works as a fast travel point and a bed to sleep in.
Plan the trip
The Iron Butte Pass checkpoint lies just to the east and also pays Hot Springs.
