Shrapnel

Shrapnel lives in Rivet City with his partner Flak. Together they run the Flak 'N Shrapnel's weapons store in the Marketplace. In 2277, he is 50 years old.

Background
Before coming to Rivet City, he used to be a raider.

Daily schedule
Together with his partner Flak, he runs the Flak 'N Shrapnel's weapons store in the Marketplace. He can sell you ordnance and repair your weapons. Flak and Shrapnel share their store's inventory, so buying or selling from either one of them will update both of their stocks. This means that if Flak is enslaved by the player for Paradise Falls, Flak 'N Shrapnel's in the Marketplace will still be open. They consistently have a larger amount of caps than the other shops in Rivet City.

Effects of player actions
Should you enslave Flak for Grouse at Paradise Falls, Shrapnel will likely be close enough to you to open up with his shotgun.

Inventory
* The key is not actually obtainable. The game sets as a condition for obtaining it that Shrapnel be dead and Flak be dead or enslaved. Since Shrapnel is set as essential, he cannot die.

Appearances
Shrapnel only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * After Flak is enslaved, Shrapnel will wander out of Rivet City and may be encountered in various locations. When found, he will speak as if he is still in Rivet City, and he will still sell items from his shop. This is caused by an AI script that requires both of them to sleep together.
 * On the PC version of the game, you can teleport yourself to him with the console command.
