Whittaker farmstead

The Whittaker farmstead is a location in the Mojave Wasteland .
==Background==
By 2281, the small farmstead had been taken over by a group of Powder Gangers.Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition Tour of the Mojave Wasteland p. 300, Whittaker Farmstead: "On the northern side of Trail 159 is a small farmstead, recently taken over by a splinter group of Cooke's Powder Gangers. Attack, or Sneak around to the east side of the house and pick the lock [Easy] (and check the table outside for some ammo). On the hall table is more ammo, Buffout and the last message from Ranger Teresa Lutz. Check the rocks nearby for two graves; rob them with a Shovel."
==Layout==
Situated on the northern side of Nevada 159, southwest of the Allied Technologies offices, the building's front door has an Easy level lock. A ham radio is inside, along with four to five Powder Gangers using the farmstead as their hideout. Two graves are located west of the farm. The farm can be used as player housing.
==Notable loot==
* A giant damaged garden gnome - Outside the front of the house.
* A Ranger holodisk message - On a table near the front door.
* Future Weapons Today - In the kitchen.
==Notes==
* On the table when first entering, is a note under some Buffout titled, "Ranger holodisk message" that cannot be picked up. The holodisk details a group of rangers and/or other NCR troops cut off from their platoon by legionaries. This is the same note found upstairs in a building in Boulder City, where there are a large number of skeletons and some NCR gear. This is due to a programming error from the developers as they mixed up the Boulder City and the Powder Gangers note, resulting in the same message being shown in both places. In fact, a different message was meant to be read, and it was about one of the Powder Ganger leaders (Samuel Cooke) taking most of their gang to check Vault 19, asking a few Powder Gangers to stay behind and keep an eye on things until their return, mostly to keep an eye on the local NCR and Fiends. Although this message cannot be accessed in-game, it can still be found in the game files under the name PowderGangRanchMsg. However, the last message from Ranger Lutz is mentioned as being at the farmstead in the game guide.
* If one blows up the sulfur cave during Why Can't We Be Friends?, a large cloud of yellow smoke can be seen billowing from the cave entrance to the west.
* The proximity of several deathclaws may result in the Powder Gangers already being killed before discovering the farmstead.
