Wasteland merchant (character)

 is a random encounter in the Capital Wasteland.

He appears stoned and to be talking gibberish. He dies as the player tries to make sense out of him.

Wasteland Merchant Note can be taken from his corpse, as well as equipment that gives in total Barter +10, Roving Trader Outfit and Roving Trader Hat.

This merchant appears to make reference to a green hill, after the player uses one of the dialogue options, and the letter tells us that he was offered a drink from the strange residents of this hill. Furthermore, references are made during the game that the people of Oasis seem to make a habit of offering outsiders a strange concoction called (apparently some type of tree sap) or simply running around like silly people, in an attempt to isolate themselves further.

After this encounter, a marker for Oasis will appear on your Pip Boy map.
