The Big McDowell is a common event in Death Road to Canada. It was added in the June 2019 ILEUM Part 1 update.

Event Text[]

The group loots a McDowell's, which was the most popular restaurant in the United States before civilization fell. Even after all this time, the food found here is still preserved due to all the chemicals.

WARNING: Burging is not great for your health but won't kill you.

  • Find and eat burgers, pay the burg price
  • Search for kid's meal toys instead

Trivia[]

  • For the "eat burgers" outcome, the character who goes overboard is chosen randomly, however you can tell who will get the bonus by looking at the event's character icon.
  • The grenade toy is described as a "CHILDREN'S GRENADE (safe for children)". It is otherwise identical to a regular grenade and appears as "Grenade" in the inventory.
  • When originally added in ILEUM Part 1, this event did not have a proper name. This was corrected in the August 2019 ILEUM Part 2 update.
  • The name McDowell's may be a reference to the movie Coming to America, where the main character works at a McDonald's knockoff named McDowell's.
