Injured Trooper



Injured troopers are NCR soldiers living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
Several NCR trooper are scattered throughout the no-man's-land between Nelson and Camp Forlorn Hope. Most of them are missing several, if not all, of their limbs. Caesar's Legionaries have placed armed frag mines near or under their bodies. (The soldiers in Forlorn Hope will occasionally give a warning about the Legion practice of placing traps on or near the dead and injured.)

When you get close to one, they will warn you to stay away or ask you to kill them. It is impossible to rescue any of these soldiers alive. If you are able to disarm the mine there is no way to interact with the injured trooper to heal them and there are no non-player characters in Forlorn Hope to tell that the traps have been disarmed. The only way to help them is to end their suffering by killing them. No Karma or reputation is lost (or gained) for killing them.

If the minefield downside Camp Forlorn Hope is cleared deactivating every single mine before starting the quest Restoring Hope; there will be no injured soldiers, neither mines for the rest of the game in the spot the minefield should be. It's and easy guess to think part of the attack troops involved in the retake of Nelson went throught the minefield; and thous; inf there are no mines, there will be no injuder soldiers. Cleaning the minefiel is not part of any subquest. It does not give extra exp after doing the whole clean, except the given by deactivatin each mine.

One of them is carrying Forlorn Hope letter #9.
