Wrecked Highwayman

The wrecked Highwayman is a location in the Mojave Wasteland. Located north-west of Snyder Prospector Camp and south-west of Clark Field, just off the Highway 95 road.

Layout
It is the wreck of a Chryslus Highwayman buried deep in the mud. Apparently, the driver lost control and crashed. As of 2281, only the trunk of the car is visible on the surface, the rest of it permanently underground.

In the open trunk is a footlocker that contains random loot in addition to a lot of microfusion cells, energy cells, some scrap metal and a Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap.

Appearances
The wrecked Highwayman appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

 * The idea to place a wrecked Highwayman in Van Buren and then New Vegas came from J.E. Sawyer. It is a direct reference to the Chosen One's Highwayman in Fallout 2. The energy weapon ammunition in the trunk is a nod to the common practice of storing such items as spare Highwayman fuel in Fallout 2.
 * It's also interesting to note that a wrecked Highwayman was also supposed to appear in Van Buren, with a trunk full of microfusion cells and a tanker fob.
 * Upon finding the wrecked Highwayman, the song "My Chrysalis Highwayman" or "Gold Slouch" from the Fallout 2 soundtrack will begin to play. This is another nod to the Chosen One's Highwayman in Fallout 2.

Bugs

 * Directly west of Wrecked Highwayman there is a high rock and shale formation. If the player attempts to climb it, it is possible to fall through and become trapped, and your companion(s) will be unable to reach you. It is the tallest formation encircling the crater. If you become stuck you can load a saved game or fast travel away if there are no hostile creatures or non-player characters near by. PC users can use the toggle collision command in the console to move out of the rock.
