Boxcars

Boxcars is an ex-powder ganger residing in Nipton in 2281.

Background
Boxcars was a criminal who ended up in Nipton to kidnap some New California Republic soldiers. Instead, he found Caesar's Legion who forced him and the other townspeople of Nipton to enter a lottery. The winner got to live while Boxcars got second place, where, although allowed to keep his life, had his legs crippled. The losers were killed along with Nipton's mayor Joseph B. Steyn.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Due to a scripting error, Boxcars' legs are not crippled, allowing him full normal movement if engaged in combat.
 * Boxcars is set to respawn within the game. Respawning occurs every three days, and will reset his inventory (possibly changing his worn clothing) and resurrect him if he was previously killed.
 * If you shoot Boxcars he will stand up and fight back, even though he is crippled.
 * Sometimes when you re-enter the building he will get up off his chair and start swimming around the building in mid-air.
 * Sometimes after giving him Med-X doses he will no longer have a dialogue option other than "Good bye", thereby breaking the Wheel of Fortune Quest
