Rockbreaker's Last Gas is a ruined gas station located in the western Capital Wasteland.
Contents |
[edit] Location
It is located north of Everglow National Campground, south of Five Axles Rest Stop and east of Vault 87 and Broadcast Tower KT8. This area is also a random encounter area.
There is an Enclave outpost nearby if you have proceeded to that point in the main quest. If you visit before a certain point in the main story and then fast travel to this location, you'll be dropped into a swarm of Enclave troops; it's easier to travel nearby and approach on foot. The surrounding Super Mutants will engage in the battle as well.
[edit] Background
There is a short radio broadcast found called a CB radio conversation, and it implies the owners of the many trucks present were rallying here.
[edit] Notable loot
There is a Nuka-Cola Quantum on top of a Nuka-Cola machine inside the fenced area. Due to movements of NPCs and creatures, it may have been knocked over.
[edit] Notes
- In the abandoned shack at the top of a cliff to the west of Rockbreaker's is the 4th of the Keller Family Transcripts, a Dean's Electronics in a box under the workbench, a Guns And Bullets on the table and the Victory Rifle, along with other some more loot and a couple of named radroaches. Main article: Sniper Shack
- To the SouthEast (North of Jalbert Brothers Waste Disposal) is a Ghoul camp with three abandoned shacks and a small park. Here you will find some ammo and skillbooks. You may also encounter a Sentry bot.
- To the NorthWest, underneath the Snipers shack is a large empty quarry with a pool at the bottom containing nothing but a dead body. You may encounter Super Mutants or Talon Company mercs here.
- Talon Company mercs may ambush you after exiting the Sniper's Shack.
[edit] Bugs
- On the PS3 entering the shack may freeze the game, causing you to be stuck loading. This also occurs on the Xbox 360 version.
- Sometimes an Enclave Soldier can appear here before you complete The Waters of Life quest. (PS3 with Broken Steel add-on)
- Aslo encountered Enclave Soldier during the Scientific Pursuits quest prior to entering Jefferson Memorial (360 and PS3 with Broken Steel add-on).
- Sometimes an Enclave Soldier will not attack you and you can talk to him.
- Sometimes the game may freeze when fast traveling to Rockbreaker's Last Gas.
