Feral ghoul roamer

A Ghoul Roamer is a Feral ghoul with greater damage protection. It is also faster and does more damage.

Ghoul Roamers wear armor, unlike their cousins. It stands to reason that these ghouls may have turned feral at a slower pace, having become equipped and defended before losing their minds. Their armor resembles the Combat Armor worn by many mercs and soldiers. It is also possible that some of these ghouls are ex-National Guardsmen who were deployed in the Washington DC area and would have been equipped with Combat Armour. The chance of them being actual soldiers is slim as most of them were probably still in Alaska fighting Red China. Plus the multitude of drugs you have the chance of finding on their bodies after dispatching them, mentioned below.

Roamers are usually found in places where there are usually ghouls. However, they are less common than standard feral ghouls. These ghouls are stronger and tougher than a standard ghoul, but still fall relatively easily compared to most other creatures out in the wastes. However, they do have a tendency to appear in small groups and can be dangerous to a low-level player. Best advice for dealing with them is to aim for the head and/or cripple their legs with the Dart Gun

Roamers usually drop Med-X, RadAway, Jet, a small amount of Bottle Caps, which can vary from 4-8, and maybe various other items.

Like all ferals, using the Ghoul Mask these units will be rendered harmless, unless you attack one, intentionally or otherwise.

"Roamer" is a term that came into recent use among zombie fiction in general and refers to a zombie that prefers to travel searching for victims instead of laying about rotting. The most prominent user of this term is the comic "The Walking Dead" by Robert Kirkman.
