Boomers

The  are a faction in Fallout: New Vegas. The Boomers are a tribe descended from a group of vault dwellers who left Vault 34 who revere explosions and the discharge of weapons.

Background
Vault 34's armory was overstocked with Weapons but was impossible to lock. The Overseer had the munitions guarded closely, and did not allow the use of firearms or explosives in the vault. After a conflict with the Overseer, the Boomers left Vault 34 and wandered the wastes. They came across Nellis Air Force Base and settled in. They dragged the artillery across the Mojave Wasteland and use that to keep out the savages. After completing Volare!, they will fly the B-29 against either Caesar's Legion or the NCR during the Battle of Hoover Dam, depending on which faction the player is primarily fighting against (Caesar's Legion in the quests Eureka!, All or Nothing, or No Gods, No Masters, NCR in the quest Veni, Vidi, Vici).

Bugs
The Boomers medic, Argyll, requests 3 doses of Fixer for his services. Giving them to him triggers the medical animation, but the players wounds are not healed.

The Boomers guard at the front gate will have his back turned to the player rendering the quest broken, creating a game breaking bug.
