Area 2

Area 2 was a pre-War military ammo depot in Nevada. 
==Background==
The depot contained a large amount of military weaponry and ammunition, including heavy ordnance, artillery, and nuclear weapons. When the Boomers settled in Nellis Air Force Base, they found the location and necessary information to open the weapons storehouses within the base's records.Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition p. 43: "BoomersFifty years ago, a group of Vault 34's dissidents struck out on their own and started using Nellis as a base. Over a long period of time, they eventually decided to call Nellis their home. They learned a great deal of information from the records at Nellis and used that information to open the weapons storehouses at (currently unknown locations called) Area 2 and the Hawthorne Army Depot. The result of their efforts was an enormous stockpile of heavy ordnance, artillery, and small nuclear weapons."(Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide faction profiles) An expedition was sent out to Area 2, and they spent many weeks dragging the stockpile, including several howitzers, back home. This would be the final time any of the Boomers would set foot out of Nellis.The Courier: "What are howitzers doing at an Air Force Base?"Pete: "You're right, they weren't here when we discovered Nellis! We found the guns at a huge weapon depot called Area 2, many miles from here! It took many weeks to drag the guns and their ammunition back to Nellis - and it was the last time any of us set foot beyond our homeland!"(Pete's dialogue)
