| − | *A bug exists that can be used to get all the gold bars out of the Seirra Madre. First, when you go to get the bars, bring plenty of junk items you can throw away with you. Pick up all the gold bars (yes, over encumbering you) and leave the vault. disarm Elijah so you can work in relative peace DON'T KILL HIM. on the side of the room that Elijah enters from there is a second shielded door close to the door you must eventually escape from. stand next to that shielded door with your full inventory. SAVE HERE. In order to get the gold out, you need to drop so many items by the shield door that the game runs out of space to spawn any more items on your side of the door, forcing the game to start spawning items in the only place it can, on the other side of the shield door. FIRST: Dump your junk inventory taking note of the order of the items you drop, and which items actually make their way to the other side of the door. you'll want to drop the gold among the latter items. SECOND: load save, repeat the previous process, dropping the gold with the items that spawn on the other side of the shield door next to the exit (this might take several trys). once successful, murder that a@#hole Elijah in cold blood and race for the exit. scoop up your gold by the door and get OUT! its recommended to have the Big Mountain Transportalponder for swift and easy recovery once once back in Mojave. Not the simplest approach, but once you get to hear all the "let it go" jazz at the end, knowing you got away with the big bucks makes enduring the head popping, poison gas ridden, ghost infested, troll hole that was the Sierra Madre feel totally worth it. |

Gold bar is a miscellaneous item in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money.
Locations
You can find 37 gold bars in the Sierra Madre Vault, which is accessible only during the quest Heist of the Centuries. Due to their tremendous weight and the script of the final quest-line, it is difficult, but possible, to retrieve them all.
There are 36 gold bars on a table to your right as you open the vault door together with some pre-War money, and the 37th is on the desk near the Vault control terminal.
Notes
- The gold bars are symbolic of the Sierra Madre's moral lesson. The 37 bars found have immense value, but are not meant to be obtainable outside the vault, due to their extraordinarily high weight and the fact that players attempting to keep them (without utilizing a glitch or complicated method) will die. This is a nod to the message constantly restated in the DLC - the hardest part of the Sierra Madre is letting go.
- This item is currently the fourth most valuable item in New Vegas, being surpassed in value only by the unique Tesla-Beaton prototype, Red Glare and Elijah's jury-rigged Tesla cannon. 37 bars are found in the game, adding up to a value of 389,943 caps and a total weight of 1,295 pounds.
- Possible buyers of gold bars:
- The hologram vendors in the Sierra Madre each have 2,500 units of pre-War money. Bear in mind that you will only be able to do this before leaving the Sierra Madre as you can't return.
- The vendortron at the Gun Runners has around 8,000 caps.
- The Quartermaster in the Brotherhood of Steel Bunker; Knight Torres often has 8,000 caps.
- Daniel Contreras the NCR Supply Merchant in Camp McCarran also usually has 8,000 caps and above.
- Arms merchant, A supply merchant at the 188 Trading Post usually has around 8,000 caps or more.
- Alexander, a gun runner merchant at the 188 Trading Post also has 8,000 caps or more.
- Old Lady Gibson may have 8,000 or more caps later in the game.
- Blake will sometimes spawn with 12,000 caps or more.
- Sink Central Intelligence Unit has a variable high amount, up to 24,000 caps.
- The Commissary terminals in the Divide will have around 6,000 caps, and will replenish anytime their reserves drop below 200 caps after the player exits the menu.
- Calamity in Jacobstown located in Jacobstown lodge usually has around 4,000 caps or more later in the game.
- The total weight of the 37 gold bars combined is 1,295, but the highest possible Carry Weight that can be reached by normal means is 375 (10 Strength, the Strong Back and Burden to Bear perks, the Hoarder trait). This means that a maximum of 10 of the 37 bars (for a total of 350) can be taken without the Courier becoming over-encumbered.
- A gold bar cannot be moved with the "grab" command when dropped.
- Despite their large base value, gold bars are only worth 301 caps per pound.
- If you look closely at the gold bar, you will see imprinted on the item that it weighs 10 oz when it actually weighs 35 lbs. Also appearing underneath "Pure Gold" on the bar is the number 999.9.
- A 35 lbs gold bar would be about 500 oz t (troy ounces), 50 times what is printed on the bar.
