(Jimmy is later found to be alive at the end of the quest, if the player discovers the truth about his disappearance.) This in turn, is a reference to the 1954 Lassie TV series, where Timmy was frequently rescued after Lassie warned somebody. This is a reference to a similar quest from Fallout 2, where the player is looking for a boy named Jimmy, and learns from Jimmy's dog Laddie that Jimmy has fallen into the town well and likely been eaten by a mole rat, dropping his BB gun. The well contains a child's skeleton, a mole rat, the Abilene Kid LE BB gun, 200 BBs, and a rawhide cowboy hat. At some point, Rex will speak to you with an 'aroo!' You then divine that Little Jimmy may have fallen into a well, the location of which is unlocked on your Pip-Boy's world map (northeast of New Vegas, right outside the wall). This encounter will only appear with Rex as your companion. Two other aliens carry tri-beam laser rifles along with some energy cells and drained energy cells.

The alien captain has the unique alien blaster (though he cannot use it) along with over 100 alien power cells. The UFO is exactly the same as the crashed one in Fallout 3, that initiates Mothership Zeta. If you look closely at the UFO you can see cables and tubes hanging out a hatch. Many consider this to be possibly one of the silliest stunts in the history of the Indiana Jones franchise, and 'Indy's' appearance here seems to suggest the likelier outcome of trying to survive Armageddon inside a fridge.Īs you close in on the area just north of Horowitz farmstead, what looked like a mercenary camp from a distance turns into an extraterrestrial landing, complete with broken spacecraft, and three stranded aliens. This is a reference to the fourth Indiana Jones film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, in which Indy survives a nuclear blast by climbing into a lead-lined refrigerator and being catapulted miles away. Slightly southeast of Goodsprings, along the road out of town, you will find a refrigerator lying on the desert floor, wherein you will find a curled up skeleton. Although these changes or events are specific to taking the Wild Wasteland trait, their occurrence is not accompanied by the '.' message. Besides encounters, Wild Wasteland also has a few effects on things that also occur in the base game.

There are 15 major Wild Wasteland encounters throughout Fallout: New Vegas.
