The wrecked Highwayman is a location in Fallout New Vegas, located off Highway 95 south-west of Clark Field.

Layout[]

It seems that something has stopped the Chryslus Motors Highwayman, after it swerved off the Highway and landed in a bog. Now half-buried in the swampy ground, the Highwayman is a rusted hulk. The trunk is open to the elements and contains microfusion cells, energy cells, a Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap, and a footlocker. When approached, My Chrysalis Highwayman or Gold Slouch from the Fallout 2 soundtrack will play.

Sourcebox defaultThe following is based on the JSawyer mod and has not been confirmed by canon sources.

If JSawyer.esp is loaded, it will also contain an armored Vault 13 jumpsuit and a weathered 10mm pistol, indicating that it is actually the Chosen One's old Highwayman.

Behind the scenes[]

  • J.E. Sawyer wanted to add a wrecked Highwayman filled with microfusion cells and other items hinting at its owner, like the tanker fob, as far back as Van Buren, as a reference to the Chosen One's car from Fallout 2 (where it contained an internal battery charged from energy cells.[1][1] Chris Avellone also expanded upon this stating it was just the trunk, reflecting the bug commonly seen in Fallout 2.[2]

Appearances[]

The wrecked Highwayman appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
