The **Abandoned Bandit Camp** is a location and a possible Yellow Fangs settlement in the Vhalla Crater region of the Gallant Wastes.

## Background

Teh Abandoned Bandit camp was originally a bandit raiding camp constructed by the Red Riders bandit gang in Vhalla crater. Its purpose was seemingly to function as an operating base from which the bandits could intercept caravans traveling between Yamael and Vultaum and through the Vhalla trade route.

The camp was eventually attacked by Lyth of the Yellow Fangs bandits and "a small army" as he puts it. The group managed to take over the camp, handing it over to the Yellow Fangs. The camp supposedly laid abandoned for a few months before Rex and his detachment were sent there by Lyth in order to scavenge the nearby KSC Venti Wreckage.

After Rex's death, a series of events the Sole Engineer can learn about through holotapes and terminal entries caused the remaining member of his detachment to leave the camp, with Jolt leaving for Apollia, Belle and Wilco escaping the grasp of the gang, Gut chasing the two and Rein being called back to Nomis in preparation for the Yellow Fangs' upcoming fight with the Red Riders, leaving the camp entirely without occupants.

## Location

The **Abandoned Bandit Camp** can be found in the Vhalla crater west of Lake Ri and south of the Vhalla trade route, it is around 700 meters directly north of the KSC Venti Wreckage.

## Layout

The player most likely will first arrive to the camp from the south following the. The first thing they will see will be the sign outside, the sign clearly has a Red Riders symbol painted over with a Yellow Fangs symbol. A bit behind and to the left of the sign is the Mess hall. To the right are a row of small huts that begin from the south and arc towards the northwest starting with Wilco's hut to the far south and ending with Rex's hut to the northwest. Following the pathway in between the row of huts and the Mess hall lays the motorpool with and the armory building.

The motorpool is an outdoor platform that does not function as it's own separate location. There is a single R-3C jeep on the platform which the player may use if they find the ignition key in Rex's hut. There are several boxes full of scrap metal strewn about with one of them having the Scrap note on top of it.

The settlement workshop is located in the motorpool to the left of the R-3C, it becomes usable if the player is allied with the Yellow Fangs and gets the Resettlement quest from Rein after getting her as a companion.
