Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/Mead Canyon

 is a location in DUST Survival Simulator.

Overview
Mead Canyon is a large and highly uninhabitable area, with a large tunneler population and a non-negligible number of feral ghouls. Making matters worse, a person or persons unknown has buried hundreds of landmines across the canyons expanse and set up numerous other booby traps at the few noteworthy locations found therein.

Abandoned NCR Camp
The NCR had established a base camp near the center of Mead Canyon, crafted from parts of an old salvage platform from before the lake dried up. It is believed that they attempted to mount an expedition from here to locate and terminate a prominent anti-NCR terrorist who was believed to be in the area. This attempt ended in failure and the NCR contingent was apparently wiped out to the last. Near the camp's west end are the remains of this expedition, as well as their now broken weapons. While the placement of these remains does have some significance, it is not readily apparent from this perspective.

Courier's Overlook
Northwest of the NCR camp, a ramp has been set up to allow access to the top of one of the canyons many rock formations. Following this back to the NCR camp, a survivor will see a lawn chair and the note "Like the view?" which boasts the cryptic warning "You're about to like it even more!". From this perspective, it can be seen that the bodies and weapons of the expedition have been arranged to spell out "FUCK NCR". Loitering at this location is not recommended, as doing so will trigger a cache of mini-nukes buried under a pile of rubble northeast of the message to detonate, flinging the bodies across the canyon and killing or crippling anybody nearby.

Crashed B-29 Bomber
A crashed strategic bomber from before the great war can be found east of the NCR camp. While certain post-war factions are rumored to have had designs on this aircraft, these obviously went unrealized, as the bomber remains where it has been for the past 200 and some years. Underneath the plane's right wing are a pair of dead tunnelers, a very hard locked crate, containing energy weapons, and a note. It was written by someone who knew of the tunnelers' arrival in the Mojave and tried to warn its people, only to be rebuffed. The left wing shields a merchant supply crate, which is protected by a hard lock, and contains many guns alongside ammunition. There is a large concentration of landmines in this area.

The Tomb
Immediately adjacent to the bomber is the entrance to the Tomb, formerly a flooded cave located on the lakebed. A makeshift defensive structure covered with Courier 6 Graffiti holds a ladder that descends into the cave entrance proper, which contains a bear trap, the crucified remains of an unknown person and the eulogy of a courier. There are also a pair of unmarked graves located just outside the entryway containing random items.
