Yangtze Memorial

The Yangtze Memorial is a pre-War landmark in the Mojave Wasteland.

Background
This memorial is a monument dedicated to American soldiers who gave their lives during the Yangtze Campaign in China at the Yangtze River. Due to its age and lack of maintenance, it is old and weather beaten, but the hand painted signs around it proclaiming "Danger, Deathclaws Ahead" are quite new, most likely put up by residents of the nearby settlement of Goodsprings. This area could be a suitable sniping spot against deathclaws and radscorpions as training

Layout
The memorial being in the middle of the area surrounded by steps down and away from the fenced in section. Hollowed-out rock and graves to the south. "Warning: Deathclaws Ahead!" sign to the East and shack to the northwest.

Notable loot

 * Due north of the memorial, there is an abandoned shack with a reloading bench, a first aid box, ammunition box and a Lad's Life right in front of the toilet, additionally you will find a 9 iron and a dose of steady just inside the door. There's also a dose of jet on the floor further in, and a machete and two Scrap electronics on the counter. You can also find a Doggie treat near the fire.

Behind The Scenes

 * The Yangtze Memorial looks similar to the Mount Soledad Memorial near San Diego, CA.

Bugs

 * - As you approach the memorial, you are attacked by radscorpions and giant radscorpions. The screen starts to flicker black and at times goes totally black apart from your health bar and a few other things. This seems to be fixable by reloading a close save and/ or when you walk away from the memorial.
 * - When near the memorial (northwest) and you are standing on top of a small cliff, Victor, the robot that saved you, can sometimes be seen in mid air, and he then falls to his death at the bottom of the cliff. Even though he dies, a "new" Victor can be met at Novac or New Vegas, because his personality is transferred to another Securitron robot.
 * - When battling radscorpions on the memorial, they may get stuck in the ground. They will still show up on the radar but they cannot attack you, and you cannot attack them, unless you have a missile launcher
