Wasteland 3: Yuma County, Liberty Buchanan, and King Cordite

After meeting with Angela Deth, you’ll travel to Yuma County — the penultimate challenge in Wasteland 3′s campaign. Here, you’ll have to eliminate Liberty Buchanan by any means necessary. If you have Ironclad Cordite with you, he’ll drastically change the way you approach this part of the game.

Note: Please be reminded that this guide will have major spoilers. For more locations or quests, you can head back to our walkthrough’s main page. Alternatively, you can check our Wasteland 3 guides and features hub.

Wasteland 3: Yuma County Speedway

Yuma County is located at the southeast corner of Wasteland 3‘s world map. You need the Dominator Chassis for the Kodiak so as not to get affected by the radiation storms.

Important: There are multiple ways you can approach your objectives. I would suggest keeping a save just before you leave Ranger HQ or before you enter Yuma County. Ideally, you should bring the custom Rangers that you want to keep. You can also choose to bring Ironclad Cordite or not.

The way the “King Cordite” questline works is that having him in your squad lets you approach the Yuma County level differently. It’s like an RPG-esque arc where Ironclad Cordite attempts to unite all the gangs. This means being able to approach areas that would normally have mobs that are hostile against your team. Conversely, if you don’t have Ironclad Cordite, then the main quest’s progression will be quite different as you’ll soon find out once you speak with Yuma County’s mechanic.

In my Wasteland 3 playthrough, I decided to bring Ironclad Cordite with me, so this guide assumes that you did the same thing. However, I also reloaded an earlier save to check out the other outcomes. I’ll make note of the differences when you don’t have Cordite with you.
