Talk:The Prospector's Den

maybe somehow roll this into the information?
passing by this mapmarker provides a shortcut through a mountain pass to nipton which is also quite safe compared to other methods of getting to nipton early on

You do have to deal with Super Mutants and Centaurs though using that route. --ParallaxFallout 11:33, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Question 1
How long does it take the Prospectors to come here?Dmk961 20:16, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

Is This a Bug?
So, i just entered the Den just to see what was in it before i headed over to the Test site to clear out the Ghouls. Service rifle in hand i put in some armor piercing bullets and started shooting, Then my game froze.

figured id post this here before posting it as a game bug, just to make sure it is a bug and not just my Xbox messing up. 24.3.121.201 20:07, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

The game couldn't handle the idea of you wasting armor piercing rounds on feral ghouls. --Cartman! 16:11, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Super Mutants
Could someone explain why they removed the bit I added about Super Mutants? It's pretty relevant to the article, especially since low level players could easily wonder as far as the Prospector's Den. Also, if you can handle them, it's a good way to get miniguns and LMGs early in the game. 86.42.220.26 13:30, December 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * There's a closer landmark to include the info on.

Player houseing
After clearing out the gang memebrs, once the prospecters move, could the den be acceptable player housing? Seems good since as the mutants at jack rabbit springs don't wander into the area, not sure about the centaurs though. The containers are most likely safe for storage (could one confirm this?)and the merchant out side could be bought from or sold to. A word of warning, most NPC's steal food,water,drinks, etc. etc. so one should watch out for that.--24.7.128.85 03:54, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

I'm planning on using this as a home. Do the prospectors respawn after killing them? The containers are probably safe, since I just throw stuff in any container at my houses.--TheReaver74 23:59, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

Enemies
I had a completely different experience as listed under the Enemies section. I found (level 18 on ):


 * 2 Jackal gang members outside
 * 3 Jackal gang members inside cave, outside building
 * 3 Jackal gang members inside building inside cave

I saw no Super mutant masters or Evolved centaur anywhere near this location. EganioTalk 07:28, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

I had a very similar experience there myself. I did notice, however, that the Evolved centars are over the hills oppisite the enterance to the Den's enterance. --SoySauceSamurai 08:31, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

Safe Storage
In the first room, next to the jukebox is an Enclave crate. Above this crate on the wall is a sign with the words "storage area" with an arrow pointing down at this particular crate.

If none of the other containers in this area are not safe, that one probably is. I'm testing that out now. --- TandyBomb 18:06, August 26, 2011 (UTC)
