'''Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters''' is a [[Fallout: New Vegas places|location]] in ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]''. It is the headquarters of the [[Sunset Sarsaparilla Corporation]]. It is located north-west of [[El Rey Motel]] and directly west of [[NCR Sharecropper Farms]].

'''Swank''' is the right hand man of [[Benny]] for the [[Chairmen]] in [[Timeline#2281|2281]].
  
  +
As you enter the factory, to your left is [[Festus (Fallout: New Vegas)|Festus]], a cowboy robot who asks for your [[Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap]]s. Asking him ''"Star Info"'' reveals the contest and triggers the quest [[The Legend of the Star]].
   
  +
Another terminal activates a maintenance robot, [[Mr. Janitor]], who collects [[Bottle cap (Fallout: New Vegas)|bottle cap]]s around the factory, and then disposes them in a garbage can by the maintenance office he is found in. He gathers a total of over 550 bottle caps.
−
==Background==
  
−
Swank has been Benny's right-hand man since Benny took over the [[Boot Riders]] and were made into the [[Chairmen]].
  
−
In ''[[All Roads]]'', Swank carries out [[Benny]]'s orders to poison the [[Singer (All Roads)|Singer]] with "Vegas" ([[Psycho (Fallout: New Vegas)|Psycho]]).
  
   
  +
On the ground floor, there is a very hard locked door. Access requires you to go up one staircase and down another. Within that room is some scrap metal, miscellaneous toolbox items, and a terminal with [[Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters terminal entries#Marcus Brody's terminal|some cryptic log messages]] regarding plant production line damage. There is also a miniature empty Sunset Sarsaparilla bottle on the shelf behind/inside of the barrel. Oddly, there is a second Very Hard locked door down here, but the door is clearly swung open and would have otherwise lead to a room of rubble. Opening it earns exp but nothing else.

In the shipping room, there is an average locked terminal. Activating the terminal reveals a discussion regarding an experimental delivery robot that was reportedly single-handedly running all the distribution in the Vegas area.
−
===Quests===
  
−
* [[Ring-a-Ding-Ding!]]: Swank is met by the [[Courier]] upon entry into the Tops casino. The player can make Swank aware of Benny's plans through a series of speech checks (15, 30, and 45) and is then allowed to progress to Benny's suite with all the players weapons. You only need to pass the first two speech checks to gain access to your weapons.
  
−
** Proof can also be found along the way such as Benny's lighter, and distinctive cigarettes, along with other proof that can sway Swank.
  
   
  +
In the bottling room, there is a lone surviving bottling robot. When talking to him, he first talks to you as you would be his master, but after realizing you're not he becomes hostile and attacks you. If your companion discovers him first, he will instantly become hostile. Just like with most Mister Handy models, upon looting him you will be able to recover all of his spare flamer fuel.
−
===Effects of the player's actions===
  
−
* If the Courier opts to kill Benny in Ring-a-Ding-Ding!, Swank can later be heard "consoling mourners" in an interview with Radio New Vegas by saying, "If I know my pal Benny he's swinging with the big cat upstairs as we speak, or chasing some angel broad with cans as big as her halo". However, if the player has shown evidence to Swank that Benny attempted to kill the Courier, he will state in conversation he 'guesses he's the boss now'. He, along with everyone else in [[The Tops]], will mention how he 'thought Benny was a stand up guy' and that he never saw him as a rat.
  
−
* If the Courier kills Swank, the Courier will be allowed to enter the Tops casino with all of his or her weapons.
  
−
*If the player convinces Swank that Benny is planning something behind Mr. House's back, Swank asks the Courier what he wants to do. If the player says he/she wants to take Benny out now...Swank will send Benny to his room. There the courier can kill Benny. Afterwards if the player returns to Swank he will ask,"Has Benny been dealt with yet?" There is only one speech option as "Yes he is dead." Swank seems to rejoice this fact by commenting, "Guess that makes me the boss. Ring-a-ding!"
  
   
  +
The furthest room in the back on the 2nd level factory floor has a safe, an average locked terminal, and a hole in the floor leading to a door which remains locked until Festus is given 50 star bottle caps.

Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters is a location in Fallout: New Vegas. It is the headquarters of the Sunset Sarsaparilla Corporation. It is located north-west of El Rey Motel and directly west of NCR Sharecropper Farms.

Layout

As you enter the factory, to your left is Festus, a cowboy robot who asks for your Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle caps. Asking him "Star Info" reveals the contest and triggers the quest The Legend of the Star.

Another terminal activates a maintenance robot, Mr. Janitor, who collects bottle caps around the factory, and then disposes them in a garbage can by the maintenance office he is found in. He gathers a total of over 550 bottle caps.

On the ground floor, there is a very hard locked door. Access requires you to go up one staircase and down another. Within that room is some scrap metal, miscellaneous toolbox items, and a terminal with some cryptic log messages regarding plant production line damage. There is also a miniature empty Sunset Sarsaparilla bottle on the shelf behind/inside of the barrel. Oddly, there is a second Very Hard locked door down here, but the door is clearly swung open and would have otherwise lead to a room of rubble. Opening it earns exp but nothing else.

In the shipping room, there is an average locked terminal. Activating the terminal reveals a discussion regarding an experimental delivery robot that was reportedly single-handedly running all the distribution in the Vegas area.

In the bottling room, there is a lone surviving bottling robot. When talking to him, he first talks to you as you would be his master, but after realizing you're not he becomes hostile and attacks you. If your companion discovers him first, he will instantly become hostile. Just like with most Mister Handy models, upon looting him you will be able to recover all of his spare flamer fuel.

The furthest room in the back on the 2nd level factory floor has a safe, an average locked terminal, and a hole in the floor leading to a door which remains locked until Festus is given 50 star bottle caps.

Notable loot

  • Pew Pew and a holotape, next to the dead body of Allen Marks, in the Sunset Sarsaparilla Vault during the quest A Valuable Lesson. There are about 100+ caps in each of the crates in this room, for a total of about 1,435 bottle caps.
  • A Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap in an average-locked wall safe in the office with a hole in the floor.
  • Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles. There are about 67 full bottles in crates behind the active bottling robot, and about 10 more bottles outside the headquarters on the right hand side of the building behind some trucks. With a total of 74 full bottles around the facility.
  • In one of the rooms (very hard lock) there is a smaller variant of an empty Sunset Sarsaparilla bottle next to a small barrel on top of a shelf. It is the only one in the game.
  • There are over 900 empty Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles throughout the building. They can be used for making purified water if the Sink is activated in Old World Blues.
