Viper gunslinger

Viper gunslingers are members of the Vipers gang living in the Mojave Wasteland $$

Background
Although once a great scourge on the wasteland, the Vipers have since been reduced to a very weak group of raiders by the law bringing forces of the emerging NCR. Most wear merc outfits or less commonly leather armor, while a few wear metal armor. About half of them carry weak melee weapons such as knives or tire irons, while the rest carry firearms such as 10mm Pistols or 10mm Submachine Guns.

Viper gunslingers are hostile towards the majority of the Mojave Wasteland's other inhabitants, Traveling Merchants and prospectors, both the NCR and Caesar's Legion, and even other raider groups such as the Jackals and the Fiends.

Locations
Viper gunslingers primarily control the stretch of Highway 95 between Nipton and Novac, and are typically first encountered ambushing the player character in the highway canyon area east of Nipton. Viper camps can be found at the hidden supply cave, the train tunnels southwest of Ranger Station Charlie, the Highway 95 Viper's encampment, inside the Searchlight East gold mine, on the highway near the El Dorado Gas & Service north of Novac and at the Horowitz Farmstead north of New Vegas. A large ambush of several Viper gunslingers will appear at the raided farmstead once the player character enters the home/trailer there.
