Ranger station Bravo is a location in the Mojave Wasteland, located northeast of the Bitter Springs Recreation Area.
Background[]
The station is located on the highlands northeast of Bitter Springs Recreation Area. This frontier NCR Ranger station forms its first line of defense,[1] placed to monitor Legion activity on the strip of the Colorado River known as "The Narrows." Ensuring that any attempt to circle around Lake Mead[2] and attack the exposed northern flanks of the Republic is intercepted and reported. Although the fortifications itself – a collection of reinforced metal and wood walls, truck containers, and cargo pods arranged in a defensive pattern – is designed to keep the nearby feral ghouls out.[3]
Due to interference, the station constantly receives ammunition shipments, rather than a steady supply of water. If Ranger Ericsen clears the player, Tilden will give them 30 .357 magnum rounds and a good amount of 5.56mm rounds, as long as they have a positive reputation.
The forces of this station are completely unaware of the loss of Camp Guardian. Believing it to be simple radio trouble.[1]
Layout[]
The station is built around a radio mast, out of scrap and ruined vehicles. Overturned dump trucks serve as makeshift buildings housing the necessary amenities, while old truck trailers provide storage space and living quarters. Ranger Ericsen is in command here, with Ranger Tilden handling communications.
Garrison[]
- Ranger Ericsen
- Communications officer Tilden
- Two regular NCR Rangers
All Rangers detect disguises.
Notable loot[]
- Fixin' Things: In the trailer, near the ammo boxes.
Notes[]
- A small camp of two to four super mutants lies east of the Ranger station. The heavily armed super mutants are one of only two groups (the other at Jack Rabbit Springs) that spawn and are not involved in quests. Their camp can be looted for a weapon repair kit and Hydra.
- The One can be found to the east with the Wild Wasteland trait. Player characters with 60 Science can salvage the bomb for 150 energy cells, 50 microfusion cells, and 2 sensor modules).
Bugs[]
A gap in collision markers west of the camp allows a patient player to glitch beyond them and explore the landscape beyond, including reaching Fortification Hill and even the Legate's Camp before they are unlocked.
Appearances[]
Ranger station Bravo appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
