Machete Mike

"Machete" Mike is a character appearing in Far Harbor in 2287.

Background
Machete Mike is a minor character who only appears during the first part of the Hull Breach questline. He is very knowledgeable about pre-War tools.

Other interactions
Machete Mike confronts the Sole Survivor after they have retrieved the power tools requested by The Mariner during Part One of the Hull Breach questline. He shows up as soon as the Survivor leaves the Eagle's Cove tannery, engages in dialogue and offers 2000 caps for the tools (2750 passing a speech challenge asking for a reward). Accepting his offer will fail the entire Hull Breach questline and thus prevent the Survivor from receiving a unique harpoon gun as well as the Mariner's support during one of the final Far Harbor quests. Should Machete Mike's offer be rejected, he will simply tell the Survivor to think it over, claiming they know where to find him in case they change their mind.

Neither choice results in violence. If Mike is killed during this time, then the player will not receive the Mariner's support as she will suspect them to be responsible for Mike's death. Mike carries roughly 3200 caps, but he cannot be picked, even with all pickpocket skills leveled, for the percent of success is a static 0%. If you attempt to pickpocket and fail and he attacks, the player can easily kill him and reclaim the caps. Because this is in self-defense, the Mariner still offers her rewards for the tools and the quest line progresses. Mike CANNOT be killed by feral ghouls, and will just enter the "downed" state.

Appearances
Machete Mike appears only in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor.
