“It's where my tribe was taken. Where another history was put to the blade, lesson taught. It is where we realized Vulpes did not approach us as equals. Where we realized the wolf had come, and we watched our history die. Now it belongs to Legion... and all the death there now belongs to them as well. Not revenge... just the way of things when you own them.”— Ulysses
Dry Wells is a tribal camp lying south along the Colorado River, from Cottonwood Cove in Arizona. It is currently occupied by Caesar's Legion.
It will only be accessible to the player after completing the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Lonesome Road by aiming nuclear weapons at Legion territory.
Background
Once the main camp of the Twisted Hairs tribe, Dry Wells was taken over as Vulpes Inculta betrayed the Twisted Hairs and assimilated them into Caesar's Legion. Ulysses reluctantly became a legionary despite this event.
Layout
Dry Wells consists of several burned tents and crumbling buildings along a road from an irradiated stretch of the river, ending in a large crater. Attempting to enter the crater will cause the Courier to die instantly. Several burned tents are also scattered about the area, along with numerous ammunition boxes and weapons crates. The entire camp is filled with irradiated legionaries and irradiated legion explorers, along with Gaius Magnus.
Notable loot
- Armor of the 87th Tribe - Worn by Gaius Magnus.
- Red Victory grenade rifle - In a gun case inside a burned tent on a cliff beside broken tower still standing, overlooking the western side of camp.
- "Missing" Shipment - in the same gun case as the Red Victory grenade rifle.
- Various expensive special ammunition in massive quantities—most if not all of these cases are along the left hand side of the road.
Notes
- Unlike every other location introduced through add-ons, companions can travel to Dry Wells and the Long 15 with the player. This is due to Dry Wells being in the Mojave, rather than an entirely new area (i.e., Big MT, Zion National Park, etc.)
- Some Legion explorers may be using Stealth Boys when you enter the area.
- Due to the high level of radiation, irradiated legionaries regenerate health very quickly.
- In the back of the map behind a boat, there are a couple of crates which spawn random loot.
- You may only enter if you chose to nuke the Legion in the quest The Apocalypse.
- The river is irradiated.
- Killing any irradiated Legion troops will yield Legion infamy. This makes it difficult to obtain the Armor of the 87th Tribe and remain on good terms with the Legion.
- Approaching the edge of the blast crater (the far end of the site when fast-travelling there) will result in a radiation level of up to 35 rads/sec, as opposed to 20/sec max in the Long 15. Jumping into the crater in either location will result in a massive spike in this rad rate. You can recieve up to 84 rads before automatically dying
