Tinker Joe

Tinker Joe is a merchant in Fallout 3. He sells a robot companion (Sergeant RL-3) for the price of 1,000 (500 after passing a speech check) Bottle caps near the RobCo building if the player has a neutral karma. .

Tinker Joe is armed with a laser pistol and accompanied by RL-3, a Mr. Handy, and a Protectron robot. Despite his sizable entourage, he has a tendency to wander around in the Wasteland area near the RobCo Factory, where he runs the risk of getting attacked and mauled by a randomly spawning Yao Guai. It is possible to improve his equipment by selling it to him, this is due to the fact that he carries his inventory with him, allowing him to use the equipment.

If he is dead you will not be able to acquire Sergeant RL-3.

He sells large amounts of scrap metal that can be sold to Walter, Protector Casdin, or Winthrop for a profit. See: Walter's Scrap Metal, The Outcast Collection Agent, and This Old House.
