Dragline (Fallout 76)

{[Nav Vehicles}}

The dragline excavator is a world object $$

Gameplay
A pre-War utility machine used in surface mining and excavating. The strip-mining operations in the Ash Heap utilized a towering excavator to remove and reposition the overburden above targeted valuable minerals. A large bucket is suspended by a wire cable, which is lowered to the material to be excavated. Once complete, the operator lifts the bucket and transports the material to its destination.

Locations

 * Two intact draglines in the Ash Heap, one of which serves as the foundation for the Blood Eagles' Rollins labor camp.
 * A broken piece is utilized in the construction of the Crater.
 * Several pieces of draglines and broken variants are found scattered around Appalachia.

Behind the scenes
The dragline is situated in the same location as the real world Hobet 21 coal mine in Boone County, West Virginia. Until the 2010s, the mine was the largest mountaintop-removal coal mining operations in the state, utilizing a dragline excavator for intensive surface mining.
