The Vault 22 dwellers' guard camp is a location in Zion Canyon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.
Background[]
In 2096, after earlier escaping the disintegrating situation in Vault 22 in the Mojave Wasteland, a group of 118 former dwellers armed themselves and traveled north into the former American state of Utah, ending up in Zion Canyon. There, they encountered a group of Mexican refugees who had been living there for weeks. For unknown reasons, whether hostility on one or both sides, or compelled to by the fungus growing inside them affecting their mental states, the Vault dwellers killed most of the refugees, including all of the men and some of the women, and took the survivors prisoner, later killing and devouring their dead bodies.[1][2]
Unbeknownst to the Vault dwellers, their massacre had been observed in secret by Randall Clark, a survivalist and former US soldier who had been helping the refugees. In anger, Clark retaliated against the expeditioners in a months-long guerilla war that claimed 24 lives, around a third of their entire group in the first 10 days. Despite expanding their patrols to cover large parts of the canyon and setting up sentry camps, the expeditioners never discovered who it was that was killing them off, ultimately concluding that it could only be a spirit of the canyon that they had angered.
Ten months later, after losing a total of 80 people to the unknown killer and their fungal sickness, the incumbent overseer J. Hendricks ordered the surviving Vault dwellers to abandon the canyon and left behind a holotape with a warning for anyone who came to Zion after their departure.[3][4][5][6][7]
Layout[]
Situated east of the Ghost Den, northeast of the Sorrows Fork campground, the location consists of a small camp surrounded by spore plants, spore carriers and yao guai. It contains a campfire, a few skeletons, some crates, and duffle bags.
Notable loot[]
- BEWARE - A VENGEFUL SPIRIT STALKS THESE CANYONS - Found in a duffle bag.
Notes[]
- Once killed, the spore plants and spore carriers will respawn after around an in-game week; when fast traveling to the camp, however, they will not spawn until the player character begins walking away from the camp.
- An unmarked location named the Vault 22 camp can be found in the canyon northwest of Caterpillar's Mound and is inhabited by more spore carriers and spore plants. The difference in both camps' names plus the unmarked one containing a small pen made of barbed wire fence suggests that it was the original campsite of the Vault 22 dwellers where they kept the Mexican prisoners as mentioned in Randall Clark's journal.
