Cheating Death

Cheating Death is a main quest in the Fallout 76 add-on Wastelanders.

Walkthrough
The vault dweller needs to persuade Meg and her raiders to help get into Vault 79. Meg tells you to talk to Lucky Lou Before that can be done, Lou needs to be located. She directs you to Lou's room, but he isn't there. A note from Lou suggests that Caleb Fisher may know where Lou went.

Speak with Fisher and learn that Lou is missing. Fisher will give you a tracking beacon which assists you in locating the mine where Lue is hiding. An intercom enables you to talk to Lou who appears to be somewhere inside the mine. When you enter the mine, you will encounter Weasel, who will help you go deeper into the mine to find Lou.

The two of you find a chair device which Lou created in an unsuccessful effort to kill himself. Near this chair are several structures and a mine shaft. The left branch of the mine shaft has a door, but it cannot be opened without a terminal; such a terminal is nowhere in sight. The right branch of the mine shaft takes you to a bridge; a stairway leads from the bridge to the left, and another mine shaft at right angles to the first one. When you follow this shaft, you get to another intersection. Here there is a Deathclaw, more structures, another suicide device (a button wired to several automated turrets), and a passage to the left.

That passage leads to a doorway into a cave complex, as well as a third suicide device: a wooden structure with a large hole in the floor. If you fall or jump into that hole you will fall into a watery pool at the other end of the cave complex.

In the cave you will be attacked by a number of creatures. There appears to be no way out other then fast traveling to another location.
