Where to Find Shovel in Fallout: New Vegas
For an easy Shovel location, you can find one within Goodsprings at the beginning of the game. Specifically, you’ll want to make your way near the Goodsprings Source, a location you’ll visit with Sunny Smiles to complete the Back in the Saddle quest to take out some enemies and do some cooking.
In this area, look for one of the broken-down windmills with a water valve. There will be a Shovel off to the right side. You can find it at the specific marked location on the map image above.
For additional Shovel locations, you can find the weapon at:
- Found at a greenhouse south of the entrance of NCR Sharecropper Farms, nearby Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters, and Gun Runners
- Purchased from Chet at the Goodsprings General Store in Goodsprings (Costs 14 Caps)
