Although Fallout New Vegas is a game from years ago, it still continues to maintain its popularity with its extensive story and open world. In particular, the wide crafting menu in the game offers players the chance to do whatever they want freely. For example, the Fallout New Vegas sensor module, which we will examine today, is used in the crafting of multiple items, such as gas bombs. We decided to do a little more detailed research about the FNV sensor module.
With the information we gathered from our research, we will talk about where to find the sensor module or what to craft with it. In short, you will find all the details you are looking for in our guide about the Fallout NV sensor module. Now, if you are ready, let’s get started and take a quick look at the details of our article.
By the way, if you haven’t played FNV before, don’t worry. In case you are playing the game for the first time and would like to take a quick look, we have prepared a Fallout New Vegas Beginner Guide.
Where to Find Sensor Modules in Fallout New Vegas
Anyone who’s come to read our Fallout New Vegas sensor module guide probably already knows more or less what this item is for. We have prepared a list of locations because we know that the main question that the players ask is “Where to find sensor modules in Fallout New Vegas?”
- If you want to find a sensor module in Fallout New Vegas, your first stop should be Goodsprings. In Goodsprings, there is a building called “General Store“. When you get there, if you walk to the back of this building, you will see a dilapidated caravan. Here is the Fallout NV sensor module waiting for you on a shelf inside that caravan.
- Another area to visit to get the Fallout New Vegas sensor module is Freeside. After reaching Freeside, proceed north. Next, you need to reach the southwest of the North Freeside. If you’ve come this far, you’ll see the Cerulean Robotics, a dilapidated, abandoned, four-story building. You can find more than a dozen Fallout NV sensor modules inside this building.
- Now, moving on to the north of Highway 95, at the end of the road, the small town of Novac is waiting for you. There are five sensor modules on the shelves of the gas station in Novac.
- Before you leave Goodsprings, you need to make your way a little further south. Because there’s an old caravan radio station called Lone Wolf Radio. If you reach Lone Wolf Radio safely, you will find two sensor modules.
- If you’re in Novac, stop and take a breath. And immediately turn slightly west to the south of Scorpion Gulch. There is an old rocket facility in this area. If you need a large quantity of Fallout New Vegas sensor modules, you should definitely visit the “REPCONN test site“. Because there are more than a dozen sensor modules here.
- Did you know that there is a Vault 21 secret shop hidden under Las Vegas, Nevada? After the entrance of the shop, two sensor modules are waiting for you on the shelves on the right.
- In the world of Fallout New Vegas, I think the sensor modules are mostly found in Novac. Thus, we came again to the Dino Dee-lite Motel in Novac. Once you enter this old hotel, you will see the sensor module in Bruce Isaac’s room on the top floor.
- It is possible to find plenty of sensor modules in the cafeteria, ammo depot, and reloading benches of Nellis Air Force Base, located in the Mojave Wasteland.
As you can see, the sensor modules can be found in many areas of the Fallout New Vegas map. There are probably some of you who don’t want to visit all these areas one by one. For them, we will talk about ways to buy sensor modules.
