However, strewn around the working, upright panels are five downed, scrapped solar panels (these will be marked on both your map and your compass). You'll find a massive, impressive array of solar panels in the backyard, which are involved in the aforementioned unrelated quest. Thus, you'll have to head inside to get back outside. Because of the fence that surrounds the plant, there's no other way to gain entry to the backyard. However, the door in question, near a couple of NCR scientists, will actually lead to the backyard area of HELIOS One. Either way, upon gaining entry to HELIOS One itself, meander your way to the back left side of the building, where you should find entry back to the Mojave Wasteland. If you're cordial with the NCR guards manned at HELIOS One, you'll also gain Side Quests|an unrelated Side Quest called That Lucky Old Sun. If you've never been to HELIOS One, you'll have to speak to the people at the front gate to gain entry (keeping in mind that if you're not getting along with the NCR, you'll have to blast your way through a whole bunch of people to have any hope of getting to the solar array field at the back of the building). Vault 11 is to the north of it, while Gibson Scrap Yard is just to the south.

If you've never been to HELIOS One, you'll find it far to the south of Nellis, along the eastern side of the map. And that location is none other than the NCR-controlled HELIOS One power station, where the army controls a rather impressive, much larger solar array of their own. Otherwise, you'll be required to head to another location to get the repairs underway. With a high (65+) Repair skill, you can simply work your way back there and fix them by hand. There's a solar array near the back end of the base, but some of the panels aren't working. You'll find him either at the base's gigantic hangar, or in his own mini-hangar-like home.Įither way, upon speaking with Loyal, no matter where you happen to find him, you'll be able to offer him some of your assistance, at which point he'll ask you to help him fix some of the solar arrays on the base, thus contracting you for this side quest.

When you've safely arrived and have free reign to travel wherever you want around the base, you'll want to seek out an older man named Loyal. Getting there can be complicated and outright dangerous our Walkthrough will have more details on getting there, specifically outlined during the mission Wild Card: Side Bets.

Undertaking this particular side quest will require you to head to the heavily-armed location known as Nellis Air Force Base, which is the Boomer-occupied location at the far northeastern reaches of the Mojave Wasteland.
