Medeski Fuel Station

The station

Medeski Fuel Station is a compact roadside facility built around a CHOOH2 forecourt and a small service or food area. It sits beside the road through the eastern Badlands, with the landfill spreading around and beyond it.

The available evidence supports treating the following as part of the station compound:

The evidence does not support treating the entire landfill as a subarea of Medeski Fuel Station. The landfill is a much larger neighbouring environment with its own paths, debris fields, hidden bodies, containers and mission-related locations.

The Municipal Landfill

The Night City Municipal Landfill is the station’s larger setting. It contains extensive piles of refuse, service tracks and off-road paths. The landfill should be recorded as a separate location in a directory, even though Medeski is the most recognisable nearby landmark.

This distinction matters for quests. When Nix refers to a destination “down the road past Medeski Fuel Station” in KOLD MIRAGE, the wording uses the station as a route marker. It does not make the whole quest location part of the station.

Named locations within or immediately beside the site

The name Eastern Wastelands is sometimes used for the wider eastern Badlands landscape, but it is a broad regional term, not a replacement for Red Peaks or the landfill. The available location directories list Red Peaks and Eastern Wastelands as separate Badlands entries.

From the Badlands road network

The station is easiest to reach by following the main paved road through Red Peaks. It is marked by its forecourt, roadside structures and the fast-travel Dataterm. If approaching from Night City, follow the routes leading east into the Badlands and use the station as a staging point before leaving the paved road.

Fast travel

The Medeski Fuel Station Dataterm becomes available when V approaches and activates it. Once discovered, it can be selected from the fast-travel network. It is one of the named fast-travel points in the Badlands and is grouped with Red Peaks locations such as Sunset Motel and Trailer Park.

Practical exploration route

Community directions place Dexter’s body north of the station, off the main road near construction barriers and rubbish piles. These directions are useful for navigation, but the exact route can be visually confusing because the landfill paths are not conventional roads.

CHOOH2 fuel station

The station’s primary function is refuelling vehicles with CHOOH2, the standard fuel used in the setting. The game presents the business as a working roadside station, although V does not use it as a conventional vehicle-fuelling service in the manner of a simulation game.

Food counter or all-night diner

A food-selling NPC is associated with the station. The available location evidence identifies an all-night food or bistro area on the premises and lists a food seller among the station’s characters.

This should be distinguished from a fully documented restaurant or purchasable shop. The evidence confirms the presence of the food seller and food-service setting, but does not establish a broad menu, unique inventory or a special vendor reward.

Dataterm

The station has its own fast-travel Dataterm. This is the most consistently useful functional object at the site.

AutoFixer terminal

A nearby AutoFixer terminal is reported as part of the station’s visible facilities. It should be treated as an AutoFixer-related terminal or interface, not automatically as a complete vehicle showroom or garage. The available evidence does not establish that every AutoFixer function is available there.

Drop point

A drop point or postal-style machine is also reported near the station. As with the AutoFixer terminal, the machine’s presence should not be expanded into an unsupported list of services.

Verified station directory

Station manager

The station has an unnamed manager or employee. The manager is the civilian at the centre of the Wraith incident. No personal name is established in the available location evidence.

Food seller

A food seller operates at the station. This is a local worker or vendor, not a major story character.

Wraiths

The Wraiths are the principal faction connected with Medeski. They are a hostile nomad gang active in the Badlands. At the station, their dispute concerns allegedly defective or diluted fuel. The archived conversation names Merlin Onorati and Logan Smith as participants in the threat against the manager.

Do not confuse this local incident with a permanent Wraith stronghold. Medeski is an attacked civilian facility, not a listed Wraith camp or outpost.

Faction directory

Merlin Onorati and Logan Smith are story-associated names from the archived conversation. They should not automatically be treated as permanent residents of the station.

NCPD: Assault in Progress

On an early visit, V can encounter an NCPD Assault in Progress at the station. The objective is to stop the Wraiths and protect the station manager. Community records describe this as the station’s local NCPD activity, with the attackers angry because they believed the station’s fuel had been tampered with.

The exact enemy composition and loot can vary by level scaling and game version. The important fixed elements are:

Suggested approach

The forecourt provides limited hard cover, while vehicles, pumps and station structures can make the fight awkward at close range. A sensible approach is:

There is no evidence that Medeski has a permanent security force, turret network or unique police checkpoint. It is a civilian station in a lightly administered frontier district.

Liberty Plan B

The most important nearby item is the iconic Liberty Plan B, found with Dexter DeShawn’s corpse in the landfill area south of the station. It is not displayed inside the station and should be classified as an external nearby collectible rather than a station interior item.

Plan B is a power pistol with a distinctive drawback: its shots consume money instead of ordinary ammunition. It is therefore an unusual weapon for collection and experimentation, but not necessarily economical as a main firearm. The weapon’s acquisition location is consistently described as the Badlands area south of the Medeski fast-travel point, near Dexter’s body.

Acquisition steps

The refrigerator and corpse are easy to miss because they are set away from the road and blend into the landfill debris. Community directions place them near concrete barriers north of the fast-travel point, while other guides describe the broader pickup area as south of the station. This difference reflects the confusing local paths and the fact that players approach the landfill from different directions. The reliable identification is the refrigerator, Dexter’s body and the weapon, not an unverified coordinate.

Other loot

Ordinary containers, enemy weapons and randomised drops may appear around the station and landfill. They should not be listed as fixed collectibles unless confirmed in a specific game version. The available evidence does not establish a complete, fixed inventory for every container at the site.

NCPD: Assault in Progress

This is the station’s principal direct activity. It centres on the Wraith attack and can be completed by defeating the hostile gang members. The encounter is useful for experience, Street Cred and normal loot, but no unique station-specific reward is established by the available evidence.

KOLD MIRAGE

KOLD MIRAGE is a Badlands side job involving the Municipal Landfill and the Afterlife. Medeski Fuel Station serves as a route landmark because Nix directs V towards a location down the road beyond it after the relevant progression conditions are met.

The job can be associated with the station in a navigation guide, but its quest boundary is broader:

Available evidence states that KOLD MIRAGE can be connected to Spellbound, with Nix contacting V after decrypting the spellbook. The job can also be discovered through the shard Notice of Expiration.

Dexter DeShawn’s remains

The body is not presented as a conventional named quest marker at the station. It is an environmental discovery with a major gameplay reward, Plan B. It is best treated as a hidden collectible encounter in the landfill rather than as a Medeski mission.

---

Dexter’s refrigerator

The refrigerator and corpse are the most important hidden landmark near Medeski. The scene closes a thread from the early game and gives V access to Dexter’s iconic sidearm.

A useful search method is to leave the fast-travel point, follow the road towards the northern junction and inspect the barriers where they bend away from the road. From there, move through the rubbish and look back towards the road for the refrigerator. This route is based on player-tested directions, not an official map coordinate.

Landfill containers and debris paths

The landfill contains scattered containers and off-road passages. Some may require a physical attribute check or contain ordinary loot. A reported container south of the station is associated with Decker, Tanaka & Rogers cargo and may require sufficient Body to open. This detail comes from a community location record and should be treated as a version-sensitive environmental discovery rather than a guaranteed major reward.

The wider landfill is not procedurally generated

The rubbish piles and paths can feel maze-like, but there is no evidence that the Municipal Landfill is a procedural location. Its layout is fixed, while ordinary item drops and some container contents may scale or randomise.
