High Road

The High Road is a location in the The Divide in 2281. it is a collapsed highway which serves as a way to travel from Hopeville to Ashton.

Background
The High Road was used by the New California Republic when the Divide was one of their main trade routes, or at least, it was used as a safehouse or base for NCR riot control, as evidenced by a dead officer in The Crow's Nest. Eventually, after the destruction of the Divide, NCR sent in team bravo to scout the area, but they severely underestimated the threats that awaited them, and they were all killed. Currently, the high road is inhabited by multiple deathclaws and a small group of marked men led by Beast.

Layout
Upon entering the High Road, the Courier will be ambushed by Beast, who carries a unique helmet, and 1-3 marked men. There is a Commissary terminal on a truck behind Beast's encampment, which can be unlocked by ED-E. As the Courier advances, they will find The Crow's Nest, a sniper position which contains a dead NCR Riot Control Officer. After this, the highway leads to an area populated by multiple deathclaws. After clearing this area, the High Road comes to an end and breaks off into the Junction 7 rest stop and a dirt path which leads into Bonesaw's camp, and into the Ashton silo control station.
