I have the unmarked side quest where I need to find a laser pistol in Scorpion Gulch. I have gotten tips where they say it's near a dead body, and I remember finding that body and looting it but I can't find the body again (possibly it vanished since I looted it completely?) Are there any tips on where to find this gun?

(PS. I would check the wiki if I had a chance to get on it, but I have no pc that is allowed on there.)

The pistol is not on the corpse, but on a rock near it. Quoting directly from the wiki:

Approaching the gulch on foot doesn't take that long, and you should come across a rock with a Dead Prospector leaning against it. Go east-southeast from here into a small valley. Pick up the missing laser pistol sitting on top of the rock in the center (be aware that picking it up often causes 6 or more Bark scorpion hunters and a Giant radscorpion to appear even if you have cleared out the area) and return it to the quartermaster for a reward.

  • i have had a few looks around but i can't find the body. i believe i looted it and thus made it dissapear. i have looked on the ground but i'm failing to find the pistol without the body. any other tips you have that could make it easier?

    Perhaps the pistol has disappeared due to a bug. Do you have a save file from before you started the quest? You may also try fast traveling to Scorpion Gulch and have a look around. EDIT: I've just seen in the wiki ( fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Scorpion_Gulch#Notable_Loot ) that the pistol only spawns if you talk to Initiate Stanton after starting the quest. Try speaking to him and exhausting the conversation tree.
