Our Fallout New Vegas Hollowed-Out Rocks Locations Guide shows the total of 42 Hollowed-Out Rocks in the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 game.

Hollowed-Out Rocks just contain random items from ammo to health to just other regular items or food.

You could even store items you are carrying in a rock if you wanted to also. A good location to store your items is on Jacobstown as where you spawn when you fast travel there, it is right where you spawn. You can then quickly exchange or drop items as you fast travel without having to do multiple loads such as you would have to if you kept your items in Lucky 38 Casino for example.

Fallout New Vegas Unique Weapons Locations Guide (PC, Xbox 360, PS3)

Fallout New Vegas Unique Weapons La Longue Carabine Location Screenshot for the PC, Xbox 360, PS3 Locations Guide
Our Fallout New Vegas Unique Weapons Locations Guide shows the total of 42 unique weapons to be found in the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 game.

These Unique Weapons have better stats than those of the regular versions of these weapons, if there is one, that you would find in the game. For example, the 9mm Pistol: Maria that you get from killing Benny has better stats than the regular 9mm.

You may come across these weapons throughout the game on your own, or you may have to explore and walk some to find other ones. Some of these weapons can be bought, for example “That Gun” Location #11 can be bought or stolen at Dino Bite Shop. It is your choice to buy it, if you have enough caps or to steal it if you feel as if you want that weapon or to steal it to sell it.

There is no specific order to these unique weapons, I have gone ahead and ordered them first by the type of weapon and then ranked by how powerful they by default to least in each category. Do not assume that since the weapon is on top, that it would be better for your character or for you to use throughout the entire game and/or every enemy. All of these depend on your type of character and skills.

Unique Guns

Unique Weapon Location #1: Sawed-Off Shotgun: Big Boomer

Location: Gibson Scrap Yard

You can only get this weapon by killing Old Lady Gibson. If you decide to kill her, your karma will decrease. It is up to you to decide if you feel as if this shotgun is worth it with its stats.

Also be warned that if you decide to kill her, you may want to complete the Side Quest called “Nothin’ But A Hound Dog” if you plan on wanting the attack damage versus either increased speed or increased toughness then you will need to keep Old Lady Gibson alive till afterwards.

You cannot get it by sneaking and pickpocketing it from her, or any other way.

Fallout New Vegas Companion Boone Location Screenshot
Our Fallout New Vegas Companions Locations Guide shows the total of 8 companions, also known as followers, in the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 game. While you can have all companions, only 1 humanoid and 1 robotic can follow you at a given time. You will need to send the others to Lucky 38 Casino where you can swap companions anytime you want, if you choose to change them up at anytime.

Companions can only die if you are playing Hardcore mode, otherwise they can never die in Normal or any other difficulty modes. If you are playing in Hardcore mode and using companions, make sure to save periodically and before you go into battles.

By just recruiting 1 companion you will unlock the “Ol’ Buddy Ol’ Pal” Achievement worth 10 Gamerscore or a Bronze Trophy.

By recruiting all 8 of the companions in the game, you will unlock the achievement called “The Whole Gang’s Here” worth 25 Gamerscore or a Silver Trophy.

Companion Location #1: Craig Boone

Location: Craig Boone is one of the first companions you should come across near the start of the game. But he does not have to be the first nor may he be the first. There is no specific order.

Info and Quests: He is very easy to get recruit from the beginning to and he offers a lot of help to you, especially if you have gone ahead and decided to play Hardcore mode. He pairs great with either ED-E or Rex.

You can find him inside of the dino’s mouth guarding the town of Novac after 9PM. You will need to complete the side quest “One For My Baby” that he gives you by talking to him in order for you to be able to recruit him to follow you.

Perk: Spotter automatically marks hostile targets in the area, this can help at night in case you do not spot an enemy or to differentiate between a friend or an enemy.

Upgrade 1: 1st Recon Beret that gives you +1 Perception and +5% Critical Chance. You will get this upon completing the 1st Quest with Boone.

Upgrade 2: 1st Recon Survival Armor or 1st Recon Assault Armor when you complete the 2nd Quest from Boone. The only difference between this armor is cosmetic, it is your choice as to which one looks better to you.

Hidden Spider 2 — You can find the 2nd one after fighting the enemies that Kraven had ordered with machine guns to take positions around the ravine area. Jump to the last column before heading right and look up and towards the left. Perform a web-jump straight up to reach this ledge and collect the spider on the ground.
Hidden Spider 3 — You can find the 3rd one the timed area where you have to defeat all the enemies in the given time. It is inside a dead-end entrance. It is on the opposite side of the waterfall.
Hidden Spider 4 — You can find the 4th one after the tripwire area, when you reach the upper area of this level look behind you above. The Hidden Spider will be crawling on a green wall. You will need to wall-crawl in order to grab it.
Hidden Spider 5 — You can find the 5th one after the cage fight with an enemy and the Kraven. It is just shortly after jumping through the hole in the cage that the Kraven made. Do not head into the next room just yet; the door will close behind you if you do. Instead head to the left side of the entrance, the spider is climbing on the wall. There will also be a Silver Emblem here.
Hidden Spider 6 — You can find the 6th one in the room just after where you found Hidden Spider #5. This is also the same room just after the cage fight with an enemy and the Kraven. It will be on the wall to the left as you enter; to the right of the tree.
Hidden Spider 7 — You can find the 7th one on the 2nd level of the chamber. It will be inside a small room that is near a set of stairs with enemies.
Hidden Spider 8 — You can find the 8th one on the 4th level of the chamber. Right near the switch on the 4th level, look across the chamber and you will see an enemy by himself. The Hidden Spider will be on a column to the left of him.
