trunk full of 10mm ammo. It is IMHO the ultimate weapon based on
small guns skill, and in fact with the right perks it easily outguns
the normal minigun (though not the Avenger or Vindicator). However,
you don't have to buy it here. You can get it for free from one of
the bandits on level 3 in Vault 15, which is the next area you'll go.
Just thought I'd mention it now, though.

Go talk to the dude in lab coat, in the building right across the
street, to the south. He'll ask you to test his mutant cure on a
super-mutant in Broken Hills. Take it, but DON'T use it in Broken
Hills. Use it on a super-mutant in the military base, when you get
there. Of course, you may have to do it in the middle of combat, but
you do get the quest without making more enemies than strictly
necessary. The cyber-dog you'll get for the quest is crappy, though,
if you ask me.

(In case you're thinking what I've been thinking, no, you can't save
the serum for a quick kill against the mutant boss at the end of the
game. It didn't have any effect on him. I tried. So just do the
quest for 1000xp on a mutant in the Military Base.)

Now look for a building with a woman and a robot in front of it. Save
before talking to her. Apparently, some loony is trying to blow up
their power station. If the girl doesn't want to talk to you yet,
come back later. Don't shoot the idiot. Talk him out of it.
"Empathy" perk would be nice here, but if you saved, you can just go
by trial and error. It's worth 6000xp, so it's not a waste of time.
Then talk to the girl again, and she'll give you some manuals.

South of that building is another one, with a broken car after a
