The Crashed Prison Transport Bus is a location in the Mountain Town region, located to the south of Milton, past the Orca Gas Station.

Overview

The bus, which was carrying the Convicts, inmates to Blackrock Federal Penitentiary prior to the First Flare, is half-buried in snow and rubble from the collapsed tunnel and cannot be entered. The Frozen Corpse of an inmate can be found nearby and looted. A briefcase can also be found nearby, containing the Prison Transport Manifest.

Story Mode

Although the locale can be encountered at any point while exploring Milton, it must be visited as part of the main Episode 1 questline. Grey Mother sends Will Mackenzie to investigate the tunnel, where he finds the bus crash and the collapsed tunnel. A cutscene shows Mackenzie noticing the scrap of clothing in the bus door, and then revealing the word PERSEVERANCE written in blood on the floor inside the bus, presumably by Astrid Greenwood, leading Will to believe that Astrid made her way to the town of Perseverance Mills.

Trivia

  • Before the tunnel collapsed, it was possible to travel directly to Keeper's Pass South and then later to Long Curve in Pleasant Valley.
    • This is evidenced by Astrid having escaped through the tunnel and having been found by Molly near Long Curve.
  • With the release of Episode 4, the above theory has been confirmed, as continuing along the road from Long Curve towards Keeper's Pass South leads to Mirthless Fork, from which it was originally possible to go either towards Milton or Blackrock.
    • Due to the collapse of the tunnel, it is currently only possible to travel towards Blackrock from there, and getting to Keeper's Pass South requires a continuous route through Mystery Lake and Pleasant Valley.
