Unusual Call Box

“To the northeast you spot a police box.”

A special encounter where you find a police box in the desert. It makes weird sounds and fades away if you try to get close. A motion scanner is left behind.

“A police box from the UK, circa 1960.”

Boneyard

Adytum: The bookcase by the door in Zimmerman’s house has four beers. His basement has a bookcase with a bag, a backpack, a First Aid Kit, a First Aid Book, and a Doctor’s Bag. Smitty’s bedroom has a bookcase with a beer and an assault rifle. There is a house in the lower right corner of this area that has a bookshelf with a crowbar. By the entrance of Adytum, there is a shed with a ladder inside leading to a small shop. Before doing any bartering, the first table has 70 caps, five stimpacks, two dynamite, four flares, and three plastic explosives. The other table has .223 FMJ ammo, flamer fuel, three plasma grenades, and five nuka-colas.

The Regulators let you in and tell you to go talk to Zimmerman. He sends you to take out Razor, the leader of the Blades, because he was told that she killed his son. Talk to Miles, a scientist near the fields. He wants the parts to fix the town’s hydroponics. Go get them from a corpse in the warehouse area and bring them to him. He tells you to bring them to Smitty and then back to him. He can fix things now, and you get a reward. After this is complete, Smitty will upgrade a plasma rifle for you and Miles will upgrade your power armor (if you bring him chemistry journals from Mrs. Stapleton from the Hub). Being friendly with Chuck the fortune teller gets you a +1 to your Luck SPECIAL (keep getting fortunes and being nice about it until he doesn’t let you have more readings).

Downtown: In the Blades building, in the lower left room, there are two bookcases with two throwing knives on each. There are also seven bottles of nuka-cola on the ground by the entrance.

Talk to leader of the blades (Razor), who wants Gun Runner weapons to take on the Regulators. Then talk to Gun Runners boss (Gabriel) who wants you to get rid of the deathclaws. Take out the deathclaws in the warehouse section, including the mother and eggs in the basement. Talk to Gabriel again and tell him you have friends who could use some weapons to get 1000XP. Talk to Razor again to go fight the Regulators together.

Warehouse: There is a desk with three bottles of booze and some shotgun shells, as well as a corpse with the junk needed to fix the irrigation in Adytum. The room with the mother deathclaw and her eggs has lock picks and a club on the ground.

Fortress: The Gun Runners have four lockers with loot. One locker contains a plasma pistol, a plasma rifle, Small Energy Cells, and Micro Fusion Cells. Another locker has rocket launcher and three explosive rockets. The next locker contains a power fist and a ripper. The last has two plasma grenades, four frag grenades, and four stimpacks. Library: In the Followers of the Apocalypse building, the top-left room has a fridge containing three stimpacks, two irradiated fruit, and a doctor’s bag. The next room down has six stimpacks and six rad-X in an ice chest. The room below that has a footlocker with two clubs and four knives. There is another footlocker in the same room with two 10mm pistols, a Desert Eagle .44, 10mm AP ammo, 10mm JHP ammo, and .44 Magnum JHP ammo. The bottom-left room has a Guns and Bullets book on the floor. Downstairs, there is a bedroom with a footlocker containing three knives.

Lost Hills (Brotherhood)

Entrance: Two BOS members are standing guard at the bunker entrance. Entering requires obtaining the quest from Cabbot to retrieve a holodisk from level 1 of the Glow (Become an Initiate quest, gives 2000xp)

Level 1: Paladin Rhombus’ office and quarters, a guardroom, the training room, and a supply room with a ton of stuff. The locker in Rhombus’ room has the systolic motivator to fix the power armor found on level 3. Being an initiate gets you Brotherhood armor and some ammo from Michael. Rescuing the initiate in the Hub gets you authorization from Talus for a reward- Michael lets you choose a laser pistol, rocket launcher, super sledge, or power armor (you need a reputation of 16 to get the power armor as a reward, but it makes more sense to just fix the one on level 3). Apparently, you can watch the training happening to increase Unarmed and Melee by 5% and get 500XP. The locked inventory room has a ton of crates filled with stuff. The Brotherhood turns hostile if you mess with the door more than once, so you need to successfully pick the lock on the first try or use an electronic lockpick.

Crate contents:

13 ropes, 6 booze, and 3 beer

A shotgun, shotgun shells, and 7 Rippers

2 metal armor and 2 leather armor

2 tools, 4 Dean’s Electronics books, 3 First Aid Books, 2 electronic lock picks, 2 Big Book of Science books, 7 Flares, 4 plastic explosives, 2 scout handbooks, and 3 buffout

22 stimpacks

A motion sensor, a Geiger counter, and 5 stealth boys

A minigun, 10mm AP, 5mm AP, and 5mm JHP ammo

11 First Aid Kits, 11 radaway, and 18 dynamite

a gatling laser and some MF cells

19 pulse grenades

flamer fuel

a set of power armor and 2 spears

21 plasma grenades

A plasma rifle and a flamethrower

A rocket launcher and 9 explosive rockets

A technical manual

3 sledgehammers, 2 10mm SMGs, and 2 clubs

a set of power armor

2 sniper rifles, 6 super stimpacks, 6 Molotov cocktails, and 2 cattle prods

Level 2: Initiate’s quarters, a classroom, and the infirmary. Get elective surgeries from Dr. Lorri in the infirmary: Strength for $2000 (3 weeks), Perception for $4000 (1 week), Endurance for $3000 (1 week), Intelligence for $6000 (3 weeks), Agility for $5000 (3 weeks). The locker behind Dr. Lorri has mentats, radaway, psycho, buffout, rad-X and two super stimpacks. The initiates quarters all have footlockers. Each has a footlocker with .44 Magnum JHP ammo and another footlocker with 5mm AP ammo (except for one room which has a combat knife instead of 5mm AP ammo).

Level 3: The workshop, library, and some living quarters. Go into the workshop and talk with Kyle so you can try to repair the broken power armor with the systolic motivator. Save right before the repair check because the repair skill requirement goes up if you fail. When you fix it, you get to keep the power armor. Talk to Sophia in the library about Brotherhood history for a holodisk on the topic. Ask Vree how to use holodisks to get access to a computer lesson that increases the science skill, and ask about an autopsy report for a holodisk with information that will demoralize the Master. I read that you can get rad-X from talking to her, but that seems pointless since to get into Lost Hills you have already gone through the only place with excessive radiation. The first living quarters room has a footlocker with a throwing knife and a super stimpack, and a locker with a Desert Eagle .44, .44 Magnum JHP ammo, and two stimpacks. The next has a locker with a knife, brass knuckles, and two stimpacks. The last room has a footlocker with a frag grenade and a super stimpack.

Level 4: Talk to Elder Maxon to get the quest to scout the northern wastes and permission for a “gear upgrade” from Mathia, the guy next to him. You get to pick a sniper rifle, rocket launcher, laser pistol, power fist, or Ripper. If you go scout Mariposa Military Base by entering the map, then come back and tell the elders, you can convince them to send help. It’s easier to just sneak run through the military base by yourself, set it to detonate, then leave.

The Glow

Level 1: A corpse in the third room from the entrance has a radaway, a locker accessed through the third room from the entrance contains a stimpack, a corpse on floor of room next to elevator has .223 FMJ ammo, another corpse in same area has a radaway and rad-X, the locker in top right room contains a motion sensor and a tool and a Big Book of Science and brass knuckles, a wall locker in the top-right room with hunting rifle, a wall locker next to the last contains an assault rifle and 14mm pistol, in the room with the brotherhood paladin corpse there is a corpse with an assault rifle, another corpse with a 14mm pistol, and a paladin corpse with the yellow key card and a holodisk (ancient brotherhood disk).

Level 2: There are 2 robobrains in the room past the room with the elevator, each carrying an assault rifle. There are lockers in second room past elevator room- one has two explosive rockets, another has two frag grenades, and the third has leather armor. The room down past the crater has a corpse with frag grenade, another corpse with a plasma grenade and some flamethrower fuel, and a third corpse with dynamite and a plastic explosive. The top-right room has a corpse with the red keycard.

Level 3: There are robobrains, one has a hunting rifle, the other has a shotgun and some shotgun shells. There are four lockers, one locker has 2 mentats and a buffout, another has a first aid kit and two stimpacks, the next has 10mm JHP and 14mm AP ammo, the last contains small energy cells and 5mm AP, .223 FMJ, and .44 Magnum JHP ammo.

Level 4: This floor has a wall locker with rocket launcher, a robobrain with an assault rifle, a locker with two rocket AP and an explosive rocket, a locker with three pulse grenades and 5mm AP ammo, a locker with Geiger counter and first aid kit and tool and repair book and radaway and rad-X, a corpse with blue keycard in bottom-left room, a wall locker with science book and leather jacket and tool and repair book, a wall locker with crowbar and assault rifle, and a wall locker with 2 rocket AP.

Level 5 can’t be accessed until the power is back on.

Level 6: There is a corpse with a stimpack and small energy cells, a corpse with radaway and knife, a corpse with a plasma pistol, a corpse with .44 Magnum JHP and 5mm JHP ammo, a corpse with a 10mm pistol, and a robobrain with sniper rifle. The generator in need of repair is on this floor.

Level 5: There is a robobrain with a shotgun and shotgun shells, a robobrain with a sniper rifle, and another robobrain which also has sniper rifle. There are three lockers and nine wall lockers. The lockers contain the FEV Experiments Disk holotape (1), combat armor and a Guns and Bullets book (2), and a plasma rifle and microfusion cells (3). The wall lockers contain the Alpha Experiments Disk holotape (1), three stimpacks and two radaway and a first aid kit (2), the Delta Experiment Logs holotape (3), three frag grenades and two plasma grenades and a pulse grenade and 5mm AP ammo and 5mm JHP ammo and 14mm AP ammo (4), a minigun (5), two assault rifles and a radio (6), small energy cells and microfusion cells (7), a Geiger counter and a motion sensor and a stealth boy (8), and a 10mm pistol and laser pistol and 14mm pistol (9). It is beneficial to repair the generator, then go to the floor with Zax and use that computer to turn on the base power, because then you can turn off the security robots at the same time and not have to fight any of them unless you want to. I think it does a science check each time you try to turn off the security until you succeed?

Vault 12

There is nothing of note on the first floor of the vault. There is a locker with two rad-X on the second floor. Approaching the locker turns the ghouls hostile. The only thing of note on the third floor is the water chip and a bunch of ghouls who will not be happy if you take the water chip and haven’t fixed the water pump.

Necropolis

Necropolis Hotel (“Hotel of Doom”): For some reason the game calls it a hotel even though it is clearly a motel. Also the navigation from the main map labels this as Hotel of Doom, but the local map says Necropolis Hotel. A bunch of ghouls hang out here, some chill, some feral. One hotel room has mentats and radaway on the ground and a bookshelf with beer and a lighter. Another room has a dresser containing three stimpacks. A room connected to that one has a desk with four flares and one dynamite. There are three ladders going between the hotel surface and the sewers.

Necropolis Hotel Sewers: Some corpses are lying around in the area between the ladders and the passageway to the Halls of the Dead sewers (one has a knife), and there are a few mole rats to fight in one corner (the body near them has a cattle prod).

Halls of the Dead Sewers: There are two ladders to the surface in this section, as well as tunnels to the next and previous sections. One ladder leads to the building south of the main building, the other leads to the back hall of the main building. There is a first aid kit near the underground ghouls. In the area with all the rats and mole rats there is a corpse with a plasma pistol.

Halls of the Dead (?): Navigating from the main map after you’ve been everywhere labels this area as Halls of the Dead, but the map when you are in the location says Necropolis Hall. The building where you initially enter the map (south of the main building) has a bookshelf in the adjacent room, to the right of the front door, with a lockpick set. The room directly across the hall from that room has two booze on a bookshelf. The main building seems to be a town hall (Necropolis Hall?) consisting of a large assembly room with three detainment cells along each side, a door to the left that leads to three connected rooms, two doors to the left with three connected rooms between them, and a secret back hall. The rooms to the left have 5mm JHP ammo and three frag grenades in an ice chest in the central room, a backpack and a tool and two stimpacks in a desk in the leftmost room, and two beer on a bookshelf in the leftmost room. There is a dresser in the main auditorium area, on the left side, near Set, with a ghoul guarding it. It has drugs (buffout, psycho, and two mentats). On the right side, in the room closest to the door, there is a fridge with a shotgun, shotgun shells, four nuka cola, and four flares. The reward you can get from Set is the flares and the nuka cola from this fridge. The room closest to Set, on the right side of the auditorium, has a bookshelf, a desk, and an ice chest with items. The bookshelf contains 14mm AP ammo. The desk has a lockpick set, .223 FMJ ammo, and a Guns and Bullets book. The ice chest holds two stimpacks, 5mm AP ammo, two stimpacks, and an assault rifle. The back hall is only accessible by entering the sewers then climbing the appropriate ladder as far as I can tell. It has a bookshelf with a club, a shotgun, and shotgun shells. The building east of the main building has a bookshelf with a club.

Edit: An isolated back hall seemed weird, so I looked it up. There are two locked, hidden, trapped doors along that hall that lead into the rest of the building.

Watershed: Six super mutants and some ghouls hang out here. If you are a female dweller you can sweet talk Harry into letting you pass by without trouble. The room Harry is in has two bookshelves- one with an assault rifle, the other with two missiles and some ammo (10mm AP, 10mm JHP, and .44 Magnum JHP). A 10mm pistol is on the floor in the room with three super mutants. There are four ladders leading between sewer areas and surface areas. The room next to the imprisoned ghoul has the ladder that leads to the sewer section with another ladder leading further down.

Watershed Sewers: One of the ladders leads to the sewer area between the Watershed and the Halls of the Dead sewers. Two ladders go between the surface and the area where the junk to fix the water pump is. There are a lot of rats and mole rats in this section. The last ladder leads between the surface and the section of sewer with another ladder going further down. Descending that ladder leads to the area with the Vault 12 entrance.

This area was difficult for me to navigate. The following section navigation diagram was found here: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Necropolis

The outhouse to the left of the building has a Guns and Bullets book on the ground inside it and a frag grenade on the ground behind it. The building has a fridge (dynamite, a shotgun, shotgun shells, a leather jacket, a lockpick, and 93 caps), a desk (shotgun shells and .44 Magnum JHP ammo), and a bookshelf (2 Molotov cocktails). There is a box of irradiated fruit on the ground outside the building along the left wall.

Junktown

There are three map sections in Junktown: Entrance, Crash House, and Gizmo’s Casino

Entrance: The two buildings of interest in this section are the guardhouse and hospital. The guardhouse has an ice box with 10mm AP and 10mm JHP ammo, as well as a fridge with five nuka cola, four irradiated fruit, five booze, and seven beer. The hospital has a bookshelf with five rocks and three frag grenades, as well as a ladder to a laboratory in the basement. The guards, Cougar and Flash, stay upstairs. If killed, both have leather armor, a shotgun, shotgun shells, and some caps (Cougar has 50 caps, Flash has 33). The lab below the hospital has a table with 3 “iguana-on-a-stick”, a trapped and locked locker with 10mm AP, 10mm JHP, a doctor’s bag, and 837 caps.

The person who comes in after you talk to Killian the first time has a hunting rifle. Killian’s private area four bookcases. One has a shotgun, one has a backpack and rope, one has a Red Ryder BB gun, and the last has Mentats. His safe has a Desert Eagle .44 gun, .44 Magnum JHP ammo, a stimpack, and 2091 caps. The hut behind the general store has a “Small Dusty Box Of Some Sort” on a bookshelf, as well as a dresser with 15 caps.

Gizmo’s Casino: Dogmeat can be recruited near the house in the bottom right corner of the map. Tycho can be recruited from the Skum Pit sometime after the scripted event. In Gizmo’s office there is a bookshelf with a box of noodles. In his room there is a bookshelf with a Guns and Bullets book, a lighter, and a bag with 100 caps. If alive, Gizmo has 100 caps, two stimpacks, three “iguana-on-a-stick, and 9mm ball ammo. If killed he will have a 9mm Mouser in addition to the other items. His personal guard, Izo, has 50 caps, 2 stimpacks, and spiked knuckles.

The shack contains a footlocker with a Red Ryder BB gun and some BBs, a bookshelf with miscellaneous items, and a crate with the Red Ryder LE BB gun and a motor. The bookshelf had five rocks, four caps, a bag, a tool, two nuka cola, and a lighter.

This is from Fallout Fixt and using a character with high luck (9).
