X-17 Meteorological Station

X-17 meteorological station is a location in the north region of Big MT in 2281. It is located in the northwest corner of the map, between the construction site, the Signal Hills transmitter and the X-22 botanical garden.

Layout
The entrance leads into a small office area, with an exit leading into a large warehouse. The warehouse perimeter, catwalks and staircases are patrolled by a unique Mister Gutsy robot named Ironbelly as well as a number of Mister Gutsy Mk variants.

On a raised central platform a small scale model of Higgs Village can be found. There is also a lab containing a terminal that can initiate a weather test, causing rain to fall on the model village. Once the weather test has been performed the dirt underneath the model is washed away to reveal a soggy duffle bag which contains random loot. Activating the weather test will also activate the fountain inside Higgs Village.

On the east wall of the warehouse is an elevator that leads to the roof. On the roof is a large container, a table, several filing cabinets, and several Y-17 trauma override harnesses.

Notable loot

 * The unique Mister Gutsy Ironbelly - Carries five protonic inversal throwing axes.
 * Big MT snow globe and mad scientist scrubs - In the lab adjacent to the model village.
