Minefield

Minefield, as the name suggests, is an abandoned settlement surrounded by Frag Mines. As if navigating through the mine-infested town wasn't dangerous enough, travellers must do so under fire from a sniper named Arkansas. Arkansas seems to like to target and blow up the vehicles scattered about the area, causing large explosions and releasing radiation. He is armed with a sniper rifle and is surrounded by several ammo boxes. Arkansas is in a three storey, mostly destroyed building at the North end of town. If you hide next to the building itself on ground level where he can't see you he'll come downstairs.

A number of the houses in the settlement contain valuable loot, including medical supplies and an Assault Rifle. There's a decent amount of leafblowers and lawnmower blades to be found lying around, as well as a motorcycle gas tank & brake pedal.

The center of the merry-go-round in the Minefield playground is a quest target for one of the tasks involved in The Wasteland Survival Guide quest available from Moira Brown in Megaton.

Appearances
