The Dahl Headlands is a large expanse of barren wasteland between New Haven and the Arid Badlands. It is home to all sorts of nasty scythids and bandits, and many of the latter choose to drive outrunners equipped with either machine gun or rocket turrets. The bandit boss Mad Mel resides in the south-eastern corner of the map in a circular arena. One of the missions in the main storyline requires players to kill Mel.

Dahl Headland Electrical Station

Just off the main road on the eastern side of the Dahl Headlands, the Dahl Headland Electrical Station operates to serve the unique energy requirements of the Fast Travel network. When first encountered, the station will be in a shut down state, however after the Powering the Fast Travel Network mission has been completed, its equipment will generate a bright purple energy beam that lances into the sky. The energy beam terminates in a swirling vortex and is visible throughout the area. Just outside of the facility is one of the numerous Catch-A-Ride terminals, along with a Hyperion New-U pole.
