The X-12 research center is a location in the Big MT, directly southwest of The Think Tank.

LayoutEdit

An upgraded sonic emitter pistol is needed to get past the force field blocking the stairs going down. On the bottom floor below, the Y-17 master trauma harness is wandering around. After disposing of it, three more Y-17 trauma override harness entities will spawn at the front door.

Notable lootEdit

• Light Switch 01 Upgrade: "Smart Lights" - Found on the bottom floor leaning on the projector.
• K9000 cyberdog gun - The Y-17 master trauma harness will have it in his inventory.
• 8 proton throwing axes - Inside the podium located on the south side of the bottom level.
• 2 Deluxe chemistry sets on the bottom floor. For each chemistry set, and with a Science skill of at least 25, use these to create 5 stimpaks or a set of 5 "drugs." (see Deluxe chemistry set Old World Blues (add-on))

AppearancesEdit

X-12 research center appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Behind the scenesEdit

	The following is based on the Wild Wasteland trait and has not been confirmed by canon sources.

If you have the Wild Wasteland trait, the Y-17 master trauma harness and the three regular Y-17s that spawn upon his death will say and repeat "Hey, who turned out the lights?" This is a reference to the Doctor Who episode "Silence in the Library".

	End of information based on the Wild Wasteland trait.

BugsEdit

• xbox360 pc ps3 If the Y-17 master trauma harness detects the player it may pass through the forcefield and commence attacking, spawning the other enemies upon his death.^[verified]
• ps3 pc The Y-17 master trauma harness may be able to shoot the player through the forcefield, but without the sonic emitter he cannot be killed.^[verified]
