Fallout New Vegas secret locations

Big Boomer:

Location: Gibson Scrap Yard

You can only get this weapon by killing Old Lady Gibson. If you decide to kill her, your karma will decrease. It is up to you to decide if you feel as if this shotgun is worth it with its stats.

Also be warned that if you decide to kill her, you may want to complete the Side Quest called “Nothin’ But A Hound Dog” if you plan on wanting the attack damage versus either increased speed or increased toughness then you will need to keep Old Lady Gibson alive till afterwards.

You cannot get it by sneaking and pickpocketing it from her, or any other way.


Dinner Bell:

Location: The Thorn, in the sewers in front of Westside

Do not be mistaken that this weapon is at the “Old Nuclear Test Site” because it is not. The weapon located there is just a regular Hunting Shotgun and not the unique shotgun here called the Dinner Bell.

You will need to talk to Red Lucy inside of The Thorn which is located right in front of the entrance to Westside. She will give you a Side Quest called “Bleed Me Dry” which will be quite a long quest.

You will need to collect all of the following to complete this quest for Red Lucy: Radscorpion Eggs, Fire Gecko Eggs, Night Stalker Eggs, Cazador Eggs and finally Deathclaw Eggs.

When you finished collecting them all, after giving her the Deathclaw Eggs you will receive this unique weapon “Dinner Bell” from her.

This Machine: (M1 Garand)

Location: Camp McCarran

This weapon is a reward by the Contreras if you do not turn him in. It will be at the end of the free quest titled “Dealing with Contreras.”

Location: Sniper’s Nest

This weapon will be inside of a footlocker in the Sniper’s Nest that overlooks the Cottonwood Cove. It is nearly all the way up the hill.


Mysterious Magnum:

Location: Sunset Sarsaparilla Billboard; North of El Dorado Gas & Service

If you decide to kill him, you should know that if you do you will fail the Side Quest “Talent Pool.” Talent Pool is also an achievement worth 20 Gamerscore or a Bronze Trophy. To start the “Talent Pool” Side Quest talk to Tommy Torini at the Tops Casino and go from there.

Once you are done with the Side Quest you can kill him, or before if it does not matter to you or if you already have the achievement or trophy. You will not be able to pickpocket him to get the weapon. He will give you his gun at the end of the Side Quest.

However; one final way you can get his weapon without doing the side quest or killing him would be to shoot the gun out of his hand which can be done by carefully shooting him so he draws his weapon.

La Longue Carabine:

Location: Camp McCarran

You will need to kill Corporal Sterling in order to acquire this sniper rifle from him.
