Arkansas

 is an elderly mad sniper, holed up in Minefield, firing without warning at trespassers. This sniper seems to like to target and blow up the vehicles scattered about the area, causing large explosions and releasing radiation. He is in a three story, mostly destroyed office building at the North end of town. If you hide next to the building itself, on ground level where he can't see you, he'll come downstairs. He has an abundance of .308 ammo, which is Sniper ammo. If killed he will drop a key (the "Ridgefield Gate Key," likely the town's real name) that will grant access to all of Minefield's houses.

Arkansas is possibly one of the original surviving residents of Minefield before the slavers invaded--in particular, the "Gibson House" (the house with the bloody hand print on the door). The child's room there is the only room in the town with the same objects as those lying by the bed on the second floor of the office building: crutches, surgical tubing, a medical brace, and cherry bombs. He is also probably the one who set all the mines in the first place. He may also be the cause of many wastelander's beliefs that Minefield is haunted.

He is also one of the targets for enslavement that Eulogy put a special bounty on.

Behind the Scenes
The name Arkansas may be a reference to the National Guard Sniper School at Camp Robinson in Arkansas, or a nod to legendary Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock from Arkansas.
