Little Buster

Little Buster is an ex-merc turned bounty hunter living at Camp McCarran $$

Background
Hardly working but not working hard, Buster has a long resume filled with various jobs he always bored of before long. Before taking up bounty hunting, Buster was a caravan guard but quit because he was expected to wake up early in the morning, a routine incompatible with his required sleep of ten to twelve hours per day.

Little Buster talks big about both himself and his accomplishments, claiming to be "one of the greatest" bounty hunters in the wasteland, having killed dangerous marks such as Night Terror and Jackson, and boasts an incredible single month of experience (longer than most jobs he has held). Major Major Dhatri comments that even if Little Buster talks a lot, he is still alive from bounty hunting and has claimed bounties, so "he can't be completely full of shit."

Like many of his jobs before, Buster's losing interest, getting tired of the amount of work bounty hunting calls for, and not invested enough to risk his life on a daily basis, and is moreover dissatisfied with the lack of glory or other perks he has been able to obtain; ready to move on. His next plan for easy money is to "win big" gambling at Gomorrah using his bounty hunting earnings, reasoning that since not too many people go to Gomorrah, that means his odds at winning are higher. This is not to be, however, as Little Buster meets his end in an alley of Freeside.

Quests

 * Three-Card Bounty: Little Buster can inform the Courier that Cook-Cook has a favored brahmin, and her death would make him go berserk.

Other interactions

 * Killing Little Buster will have no effect on Karma, but may still cause witnesses inside Camp McCarran to become hostile.

Effects of the player's actions

 * After the completion of Three-Card Bounty, Little Buster will be found dead inside the Freeside north gate on the train tracks next to the Old Mormon Fort. His body will spawn 24 to 48 in-game hours after the completion of the quest.
 * Upon approaching his corpse, a few Freeside thugs may appear nearby and attack the Courier.
 * Little Buster's corpse is actually a separate non-player character. Because of this, it is possible to obtain two copies of Cram Opener by pickpocketing him while he is alive, then looting the duplicate from his corpse.

Appearances
Little Buster appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs
After completing Three-Card Bounty, Little Buster's body may not show up anywhere near Freeside. This can be circumvented on PC by using the console command.
