My folks back home have lights at night thanks to what we're doing here.NCR trooper, Fallout: New Vegas

The El Dorado substation is a location in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.

Layout[]

Situated southwest of Vault 11 and northwest of the El Dorado Dry Lake, the location consists of a single building and a large array of transformers. The building itself is a tall concrete structure with a garage door entrance and a barricaded side door. In front of the building, on its east side, is an empty dumpster and a short distance from the north side's outer wall is a collapsed power line frame.

There are eight NCR troopers guarding the area, one being a sergeant, some of which may be sleeping in the building. The guard will instruct the player character not to enter the building or the fenced-in area, whereupon if they do, the soldiers will become hostile. No matter what reputation the Courier has with the NCR, the troopers will not allow entrance to either restricted area.

Notes[]

  • The friendly trooper, once triggered to approach, will chase the Courier until they can deliver the message.
  • The soldiers and the sergeant will respawn if killed.
  • Using the override chip will result in NCR Infamy.
  • If Boone is an companion, he will leave their party as soon as the Courier is detected within the restricted areas. If the areas are accessed covertly after completing I Forgot to Remember to Forget, convincing Boone to be bloodthirsty, he will single-handedly murder every soldier inside the substation control room and remain a companion.
  • The gate to the fenced-in area is secured with an Average-locked gate. Even if the lock is successfully picked while hidden, the NCR troopers will still become hostile.

Appearances[]

The El Dorado substation appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes[]
