Notes
-I recommend the Explorer perk for easier navigation.
-You will have to get a key to the Fire Station in Camp Searchlight. Do the quest for Logan and you will eventually unlock the Fire Station. Logan is in the NCR storage area in the basement of the Searchlight west church (it’s the tallest building on the west side).
-In the Gypsum train yard quarry office there is a large possibility for the star bottle cap to disappear as it can be thrown around the room and with the possibility of becoming lost during the battle with residing ants in the confined space within. It may also clip through the desk, at which point it becomes impossible to retrieve. I found out the moment you start firing at the ants and killing them will cause it to clip through the desk then, so it’s a good idea to run in and grab it before killing the ants. Just load back to the autosave when you just entered the building until you can grab it without it clipping through.
–Up to nine star caps can be found between Nipton and the Nipton Road pit stop, you will find Tomas and Jacklyn engaging in a gunfight with one another. Killing Jacklyn will enable looting two star bottle caps from her body, and then up to seven more from Tomas’ body. But the victor in the gunfight may loot the star caps off their fallen opponent, enabling the player character to gather all nine caps from the victor whether it be Jacklyn or Tomas.
