📋 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!

Overview/Statistics:

- 35+ lines of dialogue!

- Ceaseless combat

- Includes two new worldspaces, "Badwater Canyon" and "Hacksaw Canyon"

- One sidequest

- Provides roughly INFINITE hours of gameplay

Compatibility:

- No known conflicts to date

Credits:

- The Community: The players and fellow modders at the Nexus sites have been a continuous source of encouragement and support through the decades of development.

- You: Yes, you, the player who downloads and evaluates this mod. I depend on you to excoriate any failings and praise the successes.

- Bethesda, for teasing Fallout 4 in such a way that I am gripped by the delirium of anticipation, compelling me to make this plugin as a coping strategy.

💡 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.

  • Back up your save before installing, just in case the endless waves cause performance issues on older rigs.
