The Ridgecrest Hotel

Looks like there's an Abandoned Hotel far to the east of Vault 15. The ruins of a once prosperous city named "Ridgecrest" have now become home to random gang bangers, and a variety of criminals alike. Now that I have its location, I can harass them as much as I want.

Get the location by talking with Followers of the Apocalypse or Merchant Party in random encounter.

This is a relatively easy Dungeon, but it is advised to do it in Turn-Based if you're solo, even though there may be considerable waiting periods between turns. There are about 40 various thugs here and they will swarm you and overwhelm you if they can:

• 10 Yakuza armed with Hunting Rifles in Leather Jackets, 263 HP, each 520 XP.
• 10 Trappers armed with Spears and 1-5 Grenade (Frag), (of which they make no use of somehow) in Metal Armors 139 HP, each 300 XP.
• 10 Trappers armed with 10mm Pistols in Leather Armors, 139 HP, each 300 XP.
• 5 Trappers armed with Hunting Rifles in Leather Armors, 139 HP, each 300 XP.
• 5 Press Gangers armed with 10mm Pistols in Leather Jackets, 170 HP, each 700 XP.
• The Leader is a tough guard, armed with an M60 and clad in Metal Armor, 263HP. He is the more troublesome enemy, and is waiting for you in the middle of the hotel next to the "Loot-Chamber".

The best strategy seems to be sniping them through the numerous windows, while side-stepping before the end of turn. The only non-locked door is the one to the lower left corner of the building, so it is the only one through which they can exit.

• Some, except the Spear-trappers, also carry a Stimpak and a Bottle of Jet but all drop their complete Armors and Helmets, which are in reasonable condition.
• There is also a Room in the middle of the Hotel, with 3 Chests and 2 Footlockers, all containing minor loot.
• Also, Vic's Radio can be found in a House to the north.
