Cheating Death

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

Walkthrough
One needs to persuade Meg Groberg and her raiders to help get into Vault 79. Meg refers the player character to Lucky Lou, but she is not sure where he is. A cursory search of his room reveals a note that suggests Caleb Fisher may know where he went.

Speaking to Caleb reveals that Lou is missing, but he will give one a tracking beacon which assists in locating the mine where he could be hiding. An intercom enables one to talk to Lou when in close proximity. Upon entering the mine, one will encounter Weasel, who will help progress deeper into the mine to find Lou.

Following Weasle, the player character happens upon a makeshift chair and shotgun device that appears to have been created by Lou in an attempt to commit suicide. Near this chair are several structures and a mine shaft. The left branch of the mine shaft has a door but it requires a terminal to unlock, which is not in the immediate vicinity. Following the right branch leads to a bridge and a stairway, and then another intersection. At this juncture is a deathclaw, additional structures, another suicide device (a button wired to several automated turrets), and a passage to the left. There are several creatures within the cave and visibility is limited.

That passage leads past a third suicide device, a wooden structure with a large hole in the floor. If one jumps into the hole, they will emerge at the far end of the cave system. Progressing past this area through a doorway leads out of the mine shafts and into a complex.
