The Silver Peak mine is a location in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[]
After the New California Republic defeated the Enclave installation at Navarro sometime in the 2240s, an unnamed Enclave soldier fled east into the Mojave, where they took refuge within the mine, but later died.[Non-game 1] At some point, the mine was taken over by a cazador nest.
Layout[]
Situated up the rocky embankment to the west of Nevada State Route 157 just off the path to Jacobstown, the mine's entrance is actually connected to the Silver Peak mine shack. The mine itself is home to many cazadores and including legendary cazador. They entered the mine by means of a hole, high on the wall into the large cavern. Outside are two bighorner bulls which will attack immediately upon fast travel to the location, unless the player character has the Animal Friend perk.
Inside the mine at the back of the great chamber with the cazadores is a tunnel that leads up to the upper level with a number of crates and a gate. Entering this tunnel triggers a number of cazadores and a legendary cazador to spawn in the main chamber.
Notable loot[]
- A copy of Tumblers Today - Near one of the lockers on the right upon entering the shack.
- One Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap - On one of the tables, right in front of the entrance.
- Remnants power helmet - On the top level of the cazador cave, behind a fence door.
- Several crates containing explosives, including C-4 plastic explosive, plasma grenades, frag mines, frag grenades, dynamite, pulse grenades and pulse mines - Two crates are found just outside the fenced gate containing the Remnants power helmet, and two are found in a smaller room amongst a pile of cinderblocks and steel beams.
Notes[]
If the legendary cazador and its "acolytes" are killed, after approximately 72 in-game hours have passed, up to seven more will re-spawn in the mine (3 x 100% chance, 1 x 75% chance, 3 x 50% chance, unique random encounter).
Appearances[]
The Silver Peak mine appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Bugs[]
Upon fast-traveling to this location a few bighorners, cazadores, and a few giant mantises will spawn right in front of you, this is a very dangerous situation for a low-level player to be in. These animals will respawn every 72 hours and this event will happen again if you fast travel to this location after this time. [verified]
