📋 About This Mod
CHECKPOINT GARY
Description:
Checkpoint Gary features a new worldspace where the player can work as a mercenary, fighting waves of various attackers in the process. In truth, I developed this to cope with the burgeoning madness that comes with waiting for Fallout 4. Perhaps the infinite content offered by this mod will help you as well.
Installation:
Extract the contents of the data folder from the archive into your New Vegas data folder. This does NOT require the SomeguySeries.esm or DLC. It is entirely standalone.
Getting Started:
Speak with Garth, an odd merchant loitering outside Ranger Station Bravo. He will guide you to Checkpoint Gary, at which point you should enter the Command Post and speak with Captain Brydon. Inform Brydon that you'd like to begin duty, and then leave the shack. Mayhem ensues. When the attack is finished (you will receive a quest update), re-enter the shack and collect your reward. As time goes on, Checkpoint Gary will develop into a thriving community.
Regarding loot: Near Brydon's desk you'll find a footlocker called "Battlefield Loot". This collects a portion of the ammo and chems from fallen adversaries (as I quickly disable and delete them for performance). These spoils will enable you to continue fighting past the limit of what you can haul to the worldspace, so partake as needed. You earned it. NOTE: Battlefield Loot is NOT safe storage.
There is also a barracks which features a workbench, reloading bench, safe storage, and sleeping arrangements.
Feedback:
Say your piece, but don't be a dick about it.
A Warning:
You should know by now that I swear a lot. Deal with it.
Difficulty:
This is a challenging mod. The minimum recommended level is 35. I apologize in advance for the Cazadors.
Companions:
Bring them all!

- 35+ lines of dialogue!

Compatibility:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community support – nearly 3,000 endorsements and 92k downloads, so you know it's been tested by plenty of players.
- Adds a whole new gameplay loop – defend the outpost, then build up a town, which is a fresh twist on New Vegas.
- The endless wave mechanic gives you a reason to keep coming back, especially if you like combat challenges.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015 – might have compatibility issues with newer mods or game patches, so check your load order.
- The author deleted their account, so don't expect any future updates or support if something breaks.
- Endless waves can get repetitive if you're not into horde-style defense – it's a specific taste.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a new location with a twist – defending against waves and building a town. If you're into settlement-building and combat challenges, this is right up your alley. Skip if you prefer story-driven quests or if you're worried about mod compatibility with your current setup.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, make sure to place it in your load order correctly – use a mod manager like Vortex or FOMM to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using other New Vegas mods that alter the NCR or worldspace, test Checkpoint Gary early to catch any clashes.
- Back up your save before installing, just in case the endless waves cause performance issues on older rigs.
