The Sink

Fallout: New Vegas guide · Arriving at the Big MT

The Sink serves as the primary player home, base of operations, and central hub throughout the Old World Blues expansion in Fallout: New Vegas. Upon arriving at the Big MT, the player wakes up here after surgery and uses the facility to rest, store equipment, and craft items. As you explore the crater, you find personality holotapes to bring the Sink's various automated appliances and modules back online.

Tips

The Sink functions as a fully safe player home, meaning all containers inside are safe for persistent item storage.
Drinking water directly from the central Sink basin restores health without causing radiation poisoning.
Finding and installing the personality holotapes for appliances like the Book Chute, Muggy, and the Toaster gives you unique recycling abilities, such as converting clipboards to blank magazines or coffee mugs into useful crafting scrap.
