Smuggler

Smugglers are hostile NPCs encountered in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout. They can be found all over Point Lookout, most prominently along the southern coast, and are more frequently encountered as the add-on's main quest line progresses. They roam Point Lookout hoping to find profit from its rumored hidden treasures.

Equipment
The equipment used by Smugglers is very diverse. For defense, they wear Merc Outfits, Leather Armor or Combat Armor whereas their offensive arsenal includes nearly all weapon types.

Melee-oriented Smugglers use virtually all Unarmed and Melee Weapons from Brass Knuckles and Power Fists to Super Sledges and Rippers. In addition, they carry Frag and Plasma Grenades. Ranged combatants employ Small Guns and Energy Weapons, from 10mm Pistols to Plasma Rifles, and Missile Launchers. Every 72 Hours, a smuggler wearing a Wasteland Legend Outfit will spawn inside the Point Lookout Lighthouse on the staircase leading to the top.

Smuggler at Herzog Mine
Above Herzog Mine is the mutilated corpse of a recently-shot smuggler, which has just fallen from some wooden planks. His body contains Leather Armor, Brass Knuckles and the Smuggler's Confession holotape, explaining his death in better detail. If you walk away from the mine and look up you will see two smugglers one holding the other prisoner at gun point and then see him shoot the other in the back. you can kill the smuggler with the gun but you cannot save the prsoner, both smugglers apper friendly on your map. Sometimes if you are at the entrance to the mine and you look up, you will see the "ghost" of the smuggler above you, only to revert to a lump of meat if you climb back up to the planks. If you approach the Herzog Mine for the first time from the water and work your way up, you can actually see him fall from the planks. Also, if you if you walk towards the Smuggler from the Ark & Dove Cathedral, he is still standing on the planks but unresponsive. He yells out things like "hey!" and "stop that!" if you attempt to pickpocket him or shoot at him.

Appearances
Smugglers appear in the Point Lookout add-on for Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the Smuggler above Herzog Mine will appear alive and friendly. If you talk with him, you will find a blank dialog box and he will say nothing. He does not fight back when attacked and you will receive experience by killing him (as much as a normal smuggler) but no karma loss/gain. He can also be pick-pocketed for Leather Armor, Brass Knuckles and the Smuggler's Confession Holotape. (Confirmed PC & Xbox 360)
