Jackknifed Truck (Northwest Territories)

The exploding scientist truck is an unmarked location, found in the Capital Wasteland in 2277. It is located west of broadcast tower KB5.

Exterior
This location consists of a wrecked truck on a bridge. The truck itself is located above a minor mirelurk nest with numerous mirelurks surrounding it. To the north and east respectively, the overlook raider shack and the raider wreckage fortifications can be found. If the truck is approached, an explosion will be heard and pieces of a scientist will splatter out of it.

Interior
Inside of the truck, a small living space with a table, a chair and a mattress can be found. When entering the truck, on the left, a larger table can be found with a laser rifle, some ammo, a few components for the workbench and a few stimpaks. On the right, there are two racks surrounding a little table. On top of the table, a mini nuke can be found, while the racks contain some foodstuffs and extra components. Items may get deplaced by the explosion, however.

Notable loot

 * A Big Book of Science, found on the remains of the scientist.
 * A mini nuke.
 * A copy of Duck and Cover!, just to the north, down in the valley next to a skeleton and few car wrecks.
