A Wrecked Highwayman can be found half-submerged in mud and, upon finding it, one of two background songs from Fallout 2 ("My Chrysalis Highwayman" or "Gold Slouch") will play. The trunk is filled with Energy ammunition, making it a nod towards the Highwayman in Fallout 2, which used Energy ammo as a fuel source. The original idea for this encounter came from J.E. Sawyer, who originally planned it for the cancelled Van Buren game, which would have included the Tanker FOB in the trunk from Fallout 2.
