Ranger Station Charlie
Fallout: New Vegas guide · Exploring the eastern wastes
← All areas in this guide
Ranger Station Charlie is an NCR outpost situated along the highway south of Novac that serves as a tactical relay point. Visiting during or after the quest "Return to Sender" reveals that the station has been wiped out by Legion attackers, turning it into a hazard-filled crime scene. Players must investigate the compound, disable traps left behind, and retrieve an audio log explaining the massacre.

They only appear as casualties after the Legion ambush; the remaining threat consists of traps.
Tips
- Look at the floor carefully when entering the main building after the massacre, as the Legion booby-trapped the doors and corpses with tripwires and landmines.
- Avoid visiting too early if you are trying to complete local dialogue interactions, as progressing certain main quests or "Return to Sender" will inevitably trigger the garrison's destruction.
