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 bandit, 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.
