Talk:Hamilton's hideaway

Should it be mentioned that this underground complex appears to be an abandoned military or medical research facility? --FFN 08:19, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see why not. I'll do that now. --Shizaara 23:41, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Porter has since removed it, but I'd say no because it's speculation. -DragonJTSLeave me a message 16:19, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Im not sure if anyone else has noticed it or if it is just something very wrong with my game but there is a GIANT radscorpion near the back of the cave. And no smartasses, i dont mean a normal giant radscorpion, i mean one that is at least double the size of a giant radscorpion, plus it had double the normal health. I took some pictures of my tv at the time it happened and compared it with a random encounter radscorpion, and there is no doubt that it is much bigger. anyone else seen this/heard of this?

Enemies
I added this:

"Be careful when exiting this cave if you did not fast-travel to this location. There might be a large group of enemies waiting for you outside. "

I don't know how often it happens, but every time I enter the cave after I walked there on foot, there is a large group (3 - 4) of molerats waiting for me outside. When I fast-travel to this location, the large group of molerats have spawned and attack me right away. I don't know if it's a bug or if this group is just set to spawn when you load into this area. They might also be tougher enemies when you go up in levels, which is why I just said "enemies" in the article. --MadDawg2552 19:50, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

At level 20, a Mirelurk king, a radscorpion and mole rats all wander that area. There are also bloatflys behind the place. Avoid! --Bravo315

Cell key?
Inside of this place is a locked cell door, which cannot be picked and requires a key to open. I've cleared the entire area, looted everything I can find, then went back through the entire area room by room looking everywhere, and then went through it all again a third time, and I still can't find any key. Can someone offer me a clue? 98.222.134.36 01:49, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

I wondered this too but when I completed the quest "Galaxy News Radio" Three Dog gives you the key explaining that it is his armory and you can help yourself. I have no idea why his armory is among Raiders & radscorpions but I do know that someone gave him it if you look at the note attached.

No Armor
My weapons cache contained no armor!! :'( :'( :'( oh well, just wanted to complain, not add anything really. (Lvl 19)

Albino radscorpion
Should it be mentioned that an albino radscorpion will spawn with the giant radscorpion at high levels with broken steel? --79.75.141.45 11:44, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Notable loot
so a Bottlecap Mine is non-notable? Ringo66 17:39, January 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thats right, have a look at Help:Notable loot for the guidelines. Ishotamaninnewreno 03:10, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Background
Anyone know where that background came from? I've been looking around and unless someone is scouring the source files, I can't find mention of Maggie or Robin. References, please! 72.145.149.126 16:15, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Graphics Glitch
(PS3) You can walk over the small opening in the rock that the entrance is located in. Nothing big, but it's kind of odd trying to jump down and finding yourself standing in midair. HBS75.69.104.65 04:06, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Stuck in Hamilton's Hideaway
I got off a walkway figthing a radscorpion and can't get back on. I'm stuck in a little area next to the walkway. I can't jump up onto the walkway and I've used my missiles and the sledgehammer. 65.184.154.147 23:45, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

i got off the cat walk aswell how i got out is there is a crate box thing, the movable ones, put it handle side down about 2-3 box lengths. walk on it you will rise a little, should be just enough to hop out. I did this on the shorter side of the L shaped hole. if this is the wrong spot (i jumped off the catwalks every where and this was the only place i got stuck. this trick will get you places your otherwise should not reach, the wood planks (movable) also work for this. i was incumbered (as always) and got stuck on wrong side of shelf unit pulled wood over made a ramp and walked out. took some time and alot of trial and error but in the end i made it out. happy scaving hope that helps.
