If it is where I think it is;
From the entrance to the zone, follow the street forward and turn right at the corner/checkpoint. Follow that street into the underground parking structure and it will be at the end of that.

If you are treasure hunting on a battlefield wearing an enemy uniform, there is a high probability that you will be attacked.

The bank missions aren't always in the zone they take place in - for example, you were doing radio missions in Faultline, so you'll need to find the police van in Faultline that will take you to a map of the area around the Steel Canyon bank - you don't have to actually go to Steel Canyon itself.|

The direction arrow you found in Faultline will point you to the palce where you will enter the special Steel Canyon bank map.
If there's no visible door or van, then that means it will be in a tunnel or underground garage, so you'll need to look for a road that leads downwards.

This is what happens when people jump straight into the AE instead of doing regular content and learning basic game mechanics like how to get to mission entrances.

Not underground, no - you just follow the arrow, and once the yards count down to 0, you'll be right in front of the door.|

In Faultline, you can follow the arrow to 0 yards and be standing out in the open with no visible doors near you.

That technique doesn't always work in Perez. You can easily miss the path you were supposed to take while watching the yards count down and find yourself staring at an wall of trees that you can't go around or jump over. Not everyone has the vidiotmaps patch that reveals the maze under the trees.|

The maze in Perez can be considered underground because there is no way to get under the canopy of treetops except at certain locations where theres an entrance so flyers are forced to travel under the treetops.

It's still not exactly a much visited zone |

The chances are still pretty high that the first unusal mission door a new player will encounter will be in Faultline.

I'm not claiming Perez is frequently visited.
I personally love Perez, and Faultline but absolutely hate The Hollows and Skyway and I'll go out of my way to avoid those two zones.My original intention was to just add that there was a lower level zone than the two you mentioned that had mission entrances that were hard to get to.

Plus, Faultline also thows in the fun of trying to work out how to get to the other side of the dam

Don't forget the joy you feel when you find out the mission entrance your trying to get to is actually in the ruins of the SG base and you have to backtrack to one of the two SG entrances.
Quote:
Actually, there is one. At the north end of the zone, there is a sewer entrance under the street. To get to it, you have to go over the wall. drop down, and go back north underground. Still not as hard to spot as the ones in Brickstown, Skyway, and Faultline, though.
| But still not properly underground |
Hidden doors and the Perez maze are reasons I REALLY enjoy my Mission Teleporter power!

Utter nonsense. We had questions EXACTLY like the OP before AE even existed.

Yep. It's not an AE thing. That's a bit out of line...
And they also removed a lot of the deep placed maze doors in perez from rotation a while back. You still get a couple but they're of the relatively easy to find variety.

The deeper ones seem to be when you're higher level now - so you'l either have a travel power, or the Ouroboros Portal if it all gets too much for you |

You can't really complain about someone leveling in the AE only when he is trying to do a bank mission in Faultline. You have to have done a certain number of newspaper missions -in Faultline- to get offered the mission. You cannot be lv 50 and get it ( I think technically you can if you use Oro but that takes a -lot- of knowledge to do that ). Come on guys, just help the new guy who wants to learn the game. 
The mission you want is behind the wall. I hate those missions and rarely do Faultline because of them. There is a door to get you behind it, but know how to describe how to get there easily. Perhaps one of the other vets can help you if they can get of the AE-complaint bandwagon.

I think the problem you're running into is that the mission is on the other side of the dam in Faultline. There IS a door that will get you to the other side of the dam. If memory serves it is slightly to the left of the center of the dam. To the left of the water pooled under the dam you should find an area with several doors in the wall of the dam. The door that gets you through it is one of those.
If you haven't found it after a couple hours I'll post a screenshot of where the door is. I know how to find it, but it's difficult to explain without a visual reference.
If you have run the "Ambush Nocturne" mission in Faultline, the door that gets you to the other side is the same one you enter for the mission.
I'm not going to blame this one on AE, there really isn't any indication that you can enter one of the doors to get to the other side of the dam. If I didn't already know that yuou could I might have been just as confused myself.
Wisdom of the day: Not everyone who is confused by something is an AE baby. Sometimes it's just confusing.

Thanx everybody for the suggestions.
I found the doors alright on the left of the pool at the foot of the dam which lead inside the dam itself and you can go out a door to the other side. Problem is that the other side of the dam isn't any closer to the mission objective. I have explored the area near the wall and the extensive excavations and can't find any way in. Next I will try my mission teleporter (when it recharges in an hour or so) though I wanted to find a route to it myself. I'm not far away as the crow flies. This mission is called "Protect Steel Canyon Bank" and I would suppose I'd need specific directions for that mission. The underground parking garage, suggested above, wasn't the right place.

It's an exaggeration. Yes, we had these requests before the AE but since the AE there has been a surge of them because we now have a larger number of new players that spent the majority of their gameplay doing AE content rather than regular content. That's the way things are now.
