Nipton ist eine kleine Siedlung, die östlich des Mojave Outposts liegt und 2281 von der Legion überfallen wurde
Hintergrund Informationen
Bevor die Legion die Stadt überfallen hat, war sie bewohnt von Spielern, Dieben und Prostituierten unter Führung des korrupten Bürgermeisters (nach eigenen Aussagen "Superbürgermeister") Joseph B. Steyn. In der Stadt wurden, durch einige Prostituierte "Dienstleistungen" des horizontalen Gewerbes sowohl an RNK-Soldaten, als auch an Pulverbanditen angeboten. Damit die beiden Gruppen sich nicht in die Haare bekamen, wurde aufgeteilt. Nachts kamen die Soldaten und tagsüber die Pulverbanditen.
Der Angriff der Legion
Eines Tages kam Mr. Fox, ein Mitglied von Caesar's Legion, zum Bürgermeister in sein Büro und erzählte, dass die RNK und die Pulverbanditen viel Zeit in Nipton verbringen und die Legion beide Gruppen hassen würde. Deshalb sollte der Bürgermeister dafür sorgen, dass die Pulverbanditen Nachts in Nipton die RNK überfallen. Sollte es soweit sein, würde die Legion zuschlagen. Für diese Aufgabe wurden ihm 8000 Kronkorken angeboten. Als beide Gruppen in Position gingen, umzingelte die Legion die beiden Fraktionen und verschleppte sie und die Bewohner in die Stadtmitte. Dort hielt die Legion den Leuten ihre Sünden vor und erklärte ihnen dann die Lotterie. Bei der Lotterie kamen als erstes die "glücklichen Verlierer" an die Reihe. Sie wurden geköpft und die Köpfe auf Pfähle gesetzt. Weil der Tod sehr schnell ging, bekam dieser Platz den Namen. Dann kam die schlimmste Strafe: die Kreuzigungen. Die Drittplatzierten wurden gefangen genommen und nach Osten gebracht, dem Zweitplatzierten wurden die Beine zertrümmert, allerdings durfte er am Leben bleiben. Er befindet sich im Gemischtwarenladen von Nipton. Laut ihm wurde der Bürgermeister lebendig auf einem Reifenstapel verbrannt. Der Erstplatzierte, Oliver Swanick, wurde verschont und durfte gehen.
Layout
Upon arrival the player is greeted by Oliver Swanick, an ex-Powder Ganger who won the lottery to save his life. Alternatively, if the player stumbles upon the town hall first, Vulpes Inculta greets you or become hostile if wearing NCR clothes. Venturing through the settlement, the player will see multiple crosses holding the losers of the lottery. The rest of the town is in ruins and burns as you walk the streets.
Outside of Nipton Hall is a crucifix along with skulls on a post and pile of junk on fire. Vulpes Inculta meets the player outside of the hall and tells them to spread the word of Caesar's Legion. After speaking to him the player is granted the quest Cold, Cold Heart. Alternatively, if the player is wearing NCR faction armor, Vulpes and the other legionnaries will be hostile and attack on sight. Inside the hall itself, you will find many Legion mongrels. They are automatically hostile, even if dressed as a member of Caesar's Legion, but do not give the player Legion Infamy.
Nipton General Store has a man named Boxcars inside. He will tell you what happened, and the quest Booted can start. Even though both of his legs are crippled from the "lottery," Boxcars will still engage in combat if attacked.
Nipton Hotel is a small establishment with four New California Republic (NCR) Trooper corpses dumped unceremoniously inside.
The house with the sand bags in front of it is heavily booby trapped; there is a frag mine in the corner of the living room, kitchen and the bathroom. Both of those doorways conceal shotgun traps. There is a cage with 3 bark scorpions inside when you enter the house; if you trigger the pressure plate they will be released. There is an Easy-Locked safe with a grenade rifle in it; stepping across the threshold will release the bark scorpions. The Average-Locked cabinet in the kitchen contains some provisions. Also, there is a dead legion recruit with a machete, armor, and a helmet.
A campfire can be found in the trailer area, proceeding south by south-east of the Nipton General Store.

Hauptartikel: Nipton Hall
- Worn key - Upon entering Nipton Town Hall, directly to the right, behind the counter. Beware of a mine behind the counter. The key unlocks the first door on the right down the hall which leads to a basement.
- Big Book of Science at the Town Hall 3rd floor's Mayor's office, on the Mayor's desk.
- Behind the locked door (average) in the Mayor's office you will find a Nuka-Cola Victory on a shelf.
Heavily booby-trapped house
- Note titled Declaration of Vital Essence - inside the heavily booby-trapped Nipton home with sandbags lined up in front of it directly east of Nipton General Store "Trading Post". This note can be found in the tool cabinet in the kitchen.
Other locations
- Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap - in the wooden house directly south of Nipton General Store, on the bookshelf next to the Sunset Sarsaparilla bottle in the bedroom.
- Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap - on the main road to the east of Nipton, across the train tracks, inside a wrecked truck with a Sunset Sarsaparilla case. The star bottle cap is laying on top. The traffic cones here are booby-trapped with mines.
- A larger than usual red plate is on the table right after entering one of the Nipton Houses. Taking the plate and dropping it once will keep it the same unusual size, but picking it up and dropping it again will cause it to become a normal sized red plate.
- The house directly in front of the Wild Wasteland Easter Egg is a good source of random badly damaged weapons and items needed for weapon repair kits. (e.g wrenches, scrap metal, wonderglue, duct tape)
Notes
- The Courier can't free the crucified people without killing them unless they use the Ranger Takedown. Killing them will not incur a loss or gain of Karma, nor will it affect your reputation with any faction. If the Ranger Takedown is used, your only dialog option is to say "I have to get going."
- Some companions will comment on the crucified townsfolk. Cass, for example, will ask, "Should we cut the people down?"
- The Mister Gutsy robot respawns after a long (3 hours game play) period of time. This can be an issue if the Courier is using the house as storage.
- One of the houses contains around six things to lockpick without losing Karma, despite being are marked as owned. This is helpful for the No Tumbler Fumbler achievement.
- The background music is City of the Dead which has been originally used for Necropolis in Fallout and Navarro or Vault 15 in Fallout 2.
- A scorpion may randomly spawn upon returning via fast travel. If the crucified powder gangers are alive, the scorpion may approach each one of them, and 'sting' them by attacking the post. The powder ganger will then fall to the ground.
- Legion mongrels may respawn, but will be friendly.

Behind the scenes
- The real Nipton is an unincorporated town in California, and is located just west of the California/Nevada state line (a sign showing the border can be found in-game). The Legion Lottery may also be a reference to the fact that Nipton once had the highest lottery ticket sales in the California state lottery, due to the fact that Nevada had no state lottery at the time, before a new office opened up just outside of the real world equivalent of Primm.
- There are two signs on the road directly southeast of Nipton: one, facing west, welcomes travelers to Nevada; the other facing east, welcomes them to California. This is a reference to the real Nipton's immediate proximity to the border between the two states.
- The Legion's sacking of Nipton could be an allusion to Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery", in which the winner of the lottery is murdered by the other townsfolk. This is mentioned by the Caesar's Legion patrol; Mayor Steyn's office corroborates this, as well as the abundance of lottery tickets strewn across town hall. There are also strong parallels between Jackson's story and the social machinations of experiment conducted in Vault 11.
- If you have the Wild Wasteland trait and look around in front of a destroyed building near the eastern entrance of the town, you can find the charred skeletal remains of two people named, respectively, Owen and Beru. This is a reference to a famous scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, in which Luke Skywalker returns home to find that his uncle and aunt of the same names have been incinerated in a similar fashion by Storm Troopers.
- The Declaration of Vital Essence may be a tongue-in-cheek reference to the film "Dr. Strangelove", in which the character of Gen. Jack Ripper is highly and vocally paranoid about guarding his "precious bodily fluids" and "Purity of Essence". Admittedly, in the film he spoke of his essence as though he were referring to his own vigor "in the bedroom".
