The mercenary camp is an unmarked location in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.
Layout[]
Situated north of the Horowitz farmstead, the location consists of a small camp with three benches and a campfire in-between.
Normally, the camp is occupied by a group of at least five mercenaries that are hostile and will attack if they spot the player character.

If Wild Wasteland is an active trait, the camp instead becomes a Zetan landing site with a damaged recon craft floating above the nearby cliff face while the Zetan crew stands around the camp. They too are hostile and will attack if they spot the player character.

Notable loot[]
- YCS/186 - a unique variant of the Gauss rifle, found along with a set of reinforced combat armor on one of the mercenaries in the camp. Unobtainable if Wild Wasteland is an active trait.
- Alien blaster - Found on the alien captain. Unobtainable if Wild Wasteland is not an active trait.
Notes[]
The Zetan ship situated on the cliff above the camp during the Wild Wasteland encounter is the exact model used for the crashed UFO in Fallout 3.
Appearances[]
The mercenary camp appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Bugs[]
Sometimes, the mercenaries are friendly and possibly unclothed. [verified]
