Prospector (Fallout: New Vegas)

In Fallout: New Vegas, a Prospector is a "polite" term for a Scavenger.

Prospectors are scattered around the Mojave Wasteland, searching for old Pre-war technology and weapons to sell or use. They are non-hostile towards the player unless provoked, although prospectors can be killed without gaining negative karma.

Characters
Easy Pete in Goodsprings is a retired prospector. Prospectors often gathered at The Prospector's Den outside Primm before it was overrun by Jackals.

Uses
Dead prospectors may be found in set locations all over the wasteland, holding unique weapon types and armour types, making it very useful to find them, but many of them are guarded by flocks of creatures, feral ghouls, or deathclaws.
