Talk:Nellis Air Force Base

PS3 Follower Glitch
After entering the hangar at Nellis, both companions: Boone and ED-E stopped doing anything, only appearing next to my character when fast travelling and not moving an inch. I've dismissed Boone and he returned to Novac and I recruited Veronica who seems to have full functionality.Dr. Lobotomy 02:16, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Same thing happens to me but at the entrance gate to NAFB ( near the mortared buildings ). I took Veronica there and she either would just stand there or run off in a different direction for a bit then just stand there. The majority of the time she won't move even if I start walking away from the base, meaning I have to either fast travel ( which I hate doing, as I feel fast travel takes away greatly from the fun of exploring and therefore never do unless I have absolutely no other choice ), or keep pushing her around and trying different routes away from the base until she finally follows. Oddly enough you're one of only two people I've seen anywhere on the Internet even mention this glitch. Is there anyone else out there who has had these kind of things happen at NAFB?

Bug?
If you stand in one of their watch towers the occupant will be aggressive toward you and eventually attack.

Spooky...
I've arrived at Nellis more or less alive, and before starting any quests - I'm exploring the entire (enormous) area of the Base. In the very far NE corner is a graveyard with approx. 30 grave markers. There doesn't seem to be anything to interact with, but I can DEFINITELY hear faint ghostly whispering as I walk among the graves. I have ED-E and Boone with me...neither of them have become alerted to anything. I'd like other players to confirm (I'm on PC) and if it is indeed genuine - it certainly deserves a place in the article - even as a small footnote. Who knows? It could be connected with an upcoming DLC...perhaps not...but it put an unexpected chill up my spine. ComaDivine 09:39, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

Same exact damn thing happens in Camp Forlorn Hope, the graveyard near the entrance. Wertoret 22:30, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

You can also hear it in the gambling area of Vault 21 at night.


 * Any news on whether or not Wild Wasteland has any effect on this? The only character I've gotten there on had it, so I'm not sure.

I had wild wasteland turned off and didnt realy hear anything out of the ordinary, just normal ambient noises. It likely has to do if its night time because different music plays. None the less it is a very creepy, lonely little place. Plays tricks on you. lol--Radiated Raider 04:22, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

i confirm that there are noises in the qraveyard at nellis air force base :0

Train tunnel?
Where's the train tunnel? The article says you can see it from where George is, but I can't find it. Glomulus 23:44, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I found it. It's a bit further away than it sounds. I'll add a note to the article. Glomulus 00:03, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Museum?
Where is the museum?--65.27.167.139 01:09, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Nellis Virtual reality pods
Can they be accessed by the player? If not talk about a huge way to let down your customers. Maybe they'll be accessible in a future DLC.
 * I don't have the answer, but I do have some food for thought: there's also some VR pods in Hidden Valley bunker, but they're non-interactable items unlike the ones in Nellis. -- 20:16, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Same here, I don't know that, but if you try to use them a message about requiring a key card pops, so this card should appear some day. 91.76.56.205 19:04, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

how do i get into them it says i need a key WHERE IS THE KEY

Start the quest Ants Misbehavin' and you will receive the key for the door. (*Pearl gives it to you.)

Can You Use the VR Pods?
Just wondering if theres a NPC you go to that will give you the access codes. Nukey  ☢ talk 01:14, November 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've passed a speech check with Loyal and still was not given a code to access the simulator. I don't think a code actually exists. I've removed the note from the article stating otherwise; if it was true, it needs more than just a one-line note anyway. -- 15:29, November 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I checked in the GECK. The script on the pods doesn't allow for the player to use it:

scn NellisTLpod01SCRIPT

begin onActivate

if ( isActionRef player == 1 ) set vfreeformnellis.iVRPods to 1 showmessage NellisVRPodMsg else Activate endif

end That first "if" line looks to see if the player is the one trying to use it, sets a variable that indicates such, and then displays a message saying you need a code. However, it never actually checks for a code, so even if you could obtain one, this script would still prevent you from using it. -- 15:43, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Schematic: Rock-it Launcher
I found the schematic here in the hangar (can be stolen only, so loss of karma occurs). It also shows up among the Misc. notes in Pip-boy, but doesn't show up in the list at a workbench! What should be done to "activate" it?

You can't make the weapon due to the fact that the item was cut from the game files, though it is weird that the devs would leave the schematic in the game if they decided to remove the weapon from the game completely. Hakashi57 05:02, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Area 51
I've been searching and searching for Area 51 this entire game and finally I found it! Apperently Nellis Air Force Base is the official name of Area 51. Now maybe there is a hidden part inside of this that is officially Area 51 or something but all I know is that Nellis Air force base is considered area 51.


 * ... No. It isn't. The military base which you are referring to is a classified installation built in Groom Dry Lake and located 80 miles away from Las Vegas with a large area of land surrounding the base being restricted. Being classified, it's real name is unknown and has been nicknamed "Area 51" by the public. Nellis Air Force Base is a publicly well-known military base about 7 miles outside of Las Vegas. Area 51 does not exist in-game as far as FO:NV goes. (For a full list and map of all locations, see Fallout: New Vegas locations.) There is some speculation it may be part of a future DLC release, however, that is still just speculation. --SmithsonianDSP 12:43, December 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Now what I would like to find is Area 2, where they got a hold of all that ammunition and such.71.243.57.94 04:22, February 2, 2011 (UTC)Zephyrr


 * ...I believe Area 51 is not represented in game. If i remember correctly; there is an unmarked, inaccessible military airstrip far southeast. This may be an attempt at Area 51, but as the last editor stated.. the real base is located approximately 80 miles from Nellis AFB. Therefore it is unlikely.98.222.219.178 11:25, July 21, 2011 (UTC)Commander Davis, USAF.

where the hell is loyals home? martinthemadman


 * Loyal's place is in the same row as the Boomer's museum. Thecrystalcrow 19:18, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

GATE AT THE BACK!
Hey. I was walking to the back of the base and there was a gate at the fence. It is locked and there is no key, could this be foreshadowing DLC?

no its supposed to be another way into nellis without being shot at

Getting to the gate
I tried following the directions given to me by the guy on the road in to Nellis but died a couple of times. I ended up walking up on the left hand ridge and following it half way until an invisible wall forced me off. Then I followed close to the base of the ridge. Not a single shot even go close to me. Could this be an accidental blind-spot? Anyone else able to replicate this? I'm on the PS3 with the latest patch. 124.182.154.115 14:19, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

yeah i got to that left side of the base too but i was never able to get there again because there was an invisible wall blocking my way to it the second time i tried so i think its a glitch that lets you on that left side. im also using the ps3 version

CRATER?

The article said a bomb hit the joint BUT I DONT SEE A CRATER! WHERE DID IT HIT anyone know?

I'm a little disappointed that there's no extra dialogue or anything if you do manage to get into Nellis by sneaking in the back through the locked tunnel. Somehow, even if you sneak, the artillery is able to notice you anyway, and is able to track you as you follow the railroad tracks to the back gate. All the shots will hit the hillside on your left, but once you're at the back gate no one comes out to meet you and say 'wtf where'd you come from?' the only thing you can do is follow the fence over to where the main gate is and the same conversation plays out as if you had just run through the artillery barrage normally.

Getting into Nellis AFB with the Glitched Guard
The guard at the front entrance can't be disarmed, damaged, and is too far away to talk to. But initiating combat with the other guard causes him to move and attack. He's still invincible though, so I can't disarm him or anything. I can't talk to them after I holster my weapon and make them friendly again (since they run back another 20 feet and start launching missles at me, and they seem to have infinite amounts). Has anyone found a way into the base? I have no idea how to fix this, and I'm so far in the playthrough I don't want to start from scratch just to get to the Boomers.

Bombing Bug
Though i am "idolized", I am still bombed when i try to leave the Nellis complex by foot or when i fast travel to the gate. Unfortunately I still need to recover that BoS-Holodisk from the area in front of the gate... Any Idea how to fix that bug? Is it possible to disable the howitzer-bombing by console?

Can't get in!!!!
I got to the fence without a scratch on me, but the guard at the gate won't talk to me! He has his back turned AND JUST STANDS THERE. I've tried at night and day, but nothing happens. I've got like 8 quests that require me to get inside the base but I can't do any of them. does anyone know if i'm doing something wrong or perhaps know where the key to the gate is?

Turbo
If you cant be bothered trying to avoid getting hit just use 2-3 Turbo and head straight for the base.

The Page is missing the unmarked quest: Missing_a_Few_Missiles

Boomers are Crazy
Having achieved Idolized status with the Boomers I now find that not only do they continue bombing me (as mentioned by others) but they seem to be downright zealous about it, targeting me farther away than usual, even past the spot where George once stood, as well as inside their gates to about halfway between the gate and the hangers. I'm not their only new target as they've killed George and begun targeting my followers as far away as Fields' Shack. Is this stuff new with some of the latest patches because last time I played it never did any of this? This is insane.
