Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/Hoover Dam

Hoover Dam is an installation in the eastern Mojave.

Background
The lake dried up, leaving the dam useless. Despite its severe decrease in value, Hoover Dam remained as one of the few NCR strongholds left in the Mojave, now occupied by personnel of the Royst-Bernard Expedition, a still formidable landmark in the east.

Layout
With the installation being one of the last remaining NCR strongholds, the Survivor will be met with considerable resistance, when trying to infiltrate. Despite the water having disappeared, reaching the dams crest or inner structure from either the former water side, or the dry side seems not to be possible.

The dam crest still being a maze of sandbag fortifications can provide cover, and with NCR exposing a surprising lack of attention on guard is a feasible route for entry, as long as no direct attention is drawn. The inside of the dam is heavily guarded. Making entry directly through one of the Visitor Centres will have the Survivor face NCR troops wearing NCR Salvaged Power Armor, and heavy weapons including Heavy Incinerators.

Entering through one of the Dam Towers not directly connected to Visitor Center seems advisable. While armor, weaponry and ammunition will be available from neutralized NCR, food and drink are scarce, and are not worth the effort.
