Wasteland Hints

General Items

  • 1 of 7: There's quite a few items around.  Most are in set encounters around Vegas, but others are a little more hidden.  You should search Vegas pretty well to find all the equipment.
  • 2 of 7: For example, the thugs on the racecourse and the robots near the building to the left of the racecourse (the one with the door facing north, but only accessible off the road) both give you equipment.
  • 3 of 7: Have you spoken to the informant?
  • 4 of 7: Max hid the sonic key in the golf course.  Maybe that's not all he hid...
  • 5 of 7: Did you know mines aren't the only things buried in the ground?  But it could be difficult to spot them.
  • 6 of 7: Search the golf courses.  If your lead character has perception, you'll find buried equipment.
  • 7 of 7: Enter Vegas from the left side in the middle from the world map.  Walk east for 9 paces then south for 3.  There's a stash of 5 RPG's.
