Forum:Fastest house to get in, get out of in NV?

I'd like to know what the fastest place to stow gear and get well-rested is in NV. So far sadly the room in Novac has been the best despite finding the BoS safehouse, and the fact that they didn't add a fast travel point for the lucky 38 suite really dissapoints me.

Is there anything better than Novac speed-wise?


 * I haven't found anything better than Novac. The fast-travel destination is practically right next to the stairs to the room, you can't get closer than that really.

I live in the garbage can at the gun store outside freeside. Faster I say. -Tomk

I stay use the dumpsters in Goodsprings, and sleep in the trailer behind the general store. No loading except fast traveling to Goodsprings, or going inside the store, doc Mitchell's, or the saloon (where Trudy is), and sleeping. There are the two benches on the other side of the general store (dumpsters on one side, benches on the other side) only thing missing is the campfire, but goodsprings source (or whatever its called) to the south has a campfire, but a safe storage box is right by the water, someone said the toolbox is the safe storage, but I didn't use it, so I don't know for sure. I carried a sunset sarsparilla crate all the way next to the campfire, and used that, what hurt me was I didn't make it back for a few days, and the crate reappeared behind the general store. I had to carry it back, and I made sure I made it back once a day to eat, drink, and sleep, so it didn't happen again. Hope this helps.Pappy002 02:24, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

If you could fast travel to Freeside it would be perfect, there are those ammo boxes across from Mick & Ralph's for storage and beds in the building next door (although you may have to share with a little kid).75.67.224.12 08:50, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Actually YOU ARE in the best place of the map for a bed and house. It's almost center on the map and the longest travel distance in game hours is for the Khans armory, wich will take 5 hours. The rest of the locations usually take one hour or less. For Hoover Dam, Cottonwood Cove, 188, The Fort and Hidden Valley is one hour; for Primm and Camp Golf is two hours; for the Mojave Outpost, McCarran, Nellis and Bitter Springs is four hours. These are important locations I remember, in the Lucky 38 you are only close of McCarran, Khans armory and Nellis, the rest of the map takes an awfull time to reach.

The ONLY thing the Lucky 38 has better over Novac is fresh water. Of course this is usefull in hardcore, if you are playing in casual mode none of this matter, so why bother? Take the well rested perk and sleep in Victor's shack. ;) Brfritos 04:45, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

The Lucky 38 is terrible, it takes too long to load, especially for a game that already takes its sweet ass time loading.Pappy002 06:12, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

I always use the Goodsprings' Gas Station. Take the well rested perk and enjoy :D Eskxhi 06:15, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Novac is your best bet for what you are looking for. Although the well rested isnt all its cracked up to be. all it does is give you +10% to experience point for 12 hours. IMO you level up way to fast in this game anyway, you end up maxing out your level way to soon. I never sleep in an owned bed for that reason. ReapTheChaos 03:33, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

I think the Lucky 38 is amazing for companion storage ... but that's it. I guess I've found Harper's Shack to be incredibly useful. It has multiple metal and ammunition boxes 3 cabinets 2 fridges and a lockbox. Plus a workbench nd reloading station and fireplace outside. It's north east of Primm across that little desert next to Primm Pass and Deadwind cave. Deathclaws and raiders spawn close by so I can test any new weapons I get against humans or the strongest creatures in the game whenever (but they do occasionally spawn so close to the house that you can't fast travel)  Other than that the Prospecter's den makes for a good gunslinger hideout. Cool decorations a reloading bench and easy access to Jack Rabbit Springs if you picked RAD Child.
