Hinkley
"A recreational area consisting of a few combat arenas for relaxation and training. Built by NCR to show their increasing influence in the area." -FOnline: 2238 (Appeared after the 30/08/2010 wipe)
Located Northwest of The Hub, Hinkley serves as a PvP arena where players can fight each other in a training environment over and over, yet suffer no actual losses. The gear is handed out for free and stays there. No xp is awarded and losing a battle does not send you to a wasteland respawn point. Instead, losing a fight only sends you back to the central meeting room inside Hinkley, to gear back up and fight again. This is a great place to meet players and test your character's fighting abilities in RT PvP combat without spending any ammo or risking loss of any gear. Drugs are also available inside.
