Well I am currently living in Harper's shack (I find the area nice ) and noticed the amount of dangers in the area, such as deathclaws. I am having quite a difficult time trying to find the explosive and was wondering if you guys had an idea or two. If so feel free to explain here. Thanks

Fiend territory, some active traps and a couple mine boxes inside and outside. Also, the sign shop in the exterior cell just before going into Vault 3 has some minds.

H&H Tools has some as traps, so be wary.

The region around the Abandoned Bunker between Forlorn Hope and Nelson has mines left from the original release of New Vegas when they had NPCs with missing limbs begging for death. (Removed due to lag issues)

The most abundant is the Lonesome Road DLC as you can fine the unique mines in Lonesome Road all over and if your explosive skill is high you can make some mines of your own as well.

Besides buying them?

If your concerned about the DC's, Harper's shack may not be the best place to hang your hat. Couple that with the respawning Vipers in the area...

You can make tons of bottlecap mines if you remember to pick up the lunch boxes you see everywhere. If you have the DLCs, you can get Satchel Charges in the Lonesome Road and those are just as good as frag mines.

You also want the Explosives Expert and Splash Damage to get the most out of your mines.

Satchel charges are a good explosive to use.

I have alll the DLCs, an money is a slight issue at the moment.... But I will get the mad bomber perk when I have the chance.. That DC Cave is my only concern haha I killed them and placed mines over there( just waiting for the fireworks xD).. I also found Harper's shack a good challenge for my DID character.. Your guys tips are really refreshing my memory thank you

If you're willing to be pragmatic, win at the Sierra Madre tables and break the bank. Hoarde your chips in Dead Money and convert them to Pre-War money at the cashier's desk and when you get back to the Mojave, use the winnings you get in the safe every few days to convert into meds you can sell. Some might call this 'meta-gaming', but if you want to take full advantage of things without exploiting (IE getting all the gold out the Vault), then this is a perfectly 'legal' (IE no cheats) way to do it.

H&H Tools has some as traps, so be wary.

I shall head there considering that Im only level 7 I feel like charging in lonesome road would result a very quick death in my DID

Oh, in ways you can only imagine. Lonesome Road is best left for last. A better (and safer) survivalist shack would be the one by the Yangtzee Memorial.

Haha yeah the tunnelers are what makes me dread the dlc.. I thought about that place... I also liked Carlyle St Clair's house as well

Bradley's Shack is nice. Hell's Motel next to Mesquite Mountains Crater is good too.
