Freeside Thug

 is a thug living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
Thugs can be found in Freeside, they are usually found in groups and they are poorly equipped in both apparel and weapons.

Interactions with the player character
They will be hostile to the player. They may also be friendly, but any followers may shoot on sight even if they are friendly. Upon entering Freeside, they will immediately become hostile to you, or non-hostile, depending on your karma level. Either way, the Freeside Thugs are static NPCs that have little to no dialogue and interaction. Also, it is worth noting that all Freeside Thugs will attack with weak melee weapons, and will only attack with guns if they find one nearby during a fight. The Freeside Thugs respawn, regardless of your interactions with them or how they were killed.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
