Ello, so I was wondering, I dont want to live in any of the actualy obtainable player homes with this char, I want to live in some other place like an abandoned house, or shack, or cave, or somewhere other than an actual player home. My concern is that if I drop stuff there or put stuff in a container is it going to dissapear and be gone forever after a few days?

Because I have heard of players just living whereever they want to and im wondering how they do that w/o the risk of losing everything? Is it possible if I wanted to sayyy....live in a Vault? or some other sort of abandoned home

I've heard of people stashing things in dumpster. There are several threads about "player homes" and I'm sure your questions would be answered there more easily.

Test it out get some crappy items go to your home to be, drop the stuff some on the floor some in containers, come back and see if it is there.

take your pick ^^

Powder ganger camp south works for a temp house. Desolate, no enemies, safe storage, a bed, and a campfire.
I have heard many of the shacks work well too.

Thanks everyone! Thanks for the advice. and great idea WonderWombat, if I am unecertain of a place or find one not on the wiki thats a simple way of testing it w/o risking losing my stuff! =)

Andon the wiki I thot it was only going to list the actual ownable player homes, but below that it has a table of all the different non-player homes with secure storage! Its quite a long list too. Im thinking about either living in the Smith Mesa Prospector Camp, or The Coyote Mine House. Im leaning more twords the Mine House tho...

The Powder Ganger hideouts are also a pretty good idea, and after acouple days they will try to take it back from you and you just kill them, makes for good roleplay!

Anybody else live in places that arent actual player homes?

El Dorado gas station, some make-shift beds in the garage and a campfire. Used it a lot during one of my playthroughs. Vault 21 is also nice

Try the Prospecter's Den. After you clear out the Jackels in there you can trade with the merchant or just kill the prospectors when they respawn.

I was actually thinking about if any vaults were "live-able" I know vault 21 is since you can buy a room there, but how about other vaults? or do the creatures respawn in them?

p.s. Dig your profile pic, I have a "winning" shirt with the Warlock himself on it! haha what a badass.




Is that the same as the Mesa Prospector Camp? or where is it?

Hmm good question, wouldn't know for sure. Think the best alternative Vault to live in would have to be:


Love Carlos Estévez Many must hate him though, but I just love his life-style and wish for just 1 night I could party like Mr. Badass. Would probably end up dead tho
