Arkansas

 is an elderly, mad sniper, who lives in Minefield in 2277.

Background
Arkansas was a small boy when the Slavers came to capture nearly all of the people living in Minefield, but he was never found. He swore revenge, and spread rumors that a new tribe had settled down in Minefield, before he laid a trap for the Slavers. If they were to come back to the town, they'd be attacked by the sniping Arkansas, or step on one of the multiple Frag Mines. The Slavers came and took heavy damage, and never came back, eading the survivors to believe that there is a ghost inhabiting Minefield. Arkansas never left Minefield, and still stays there, sniping anyone that comes within range.

Daily schedule
Aside from targeting inanimate objects near the player, he will fire - from his perch in a three-story building at the north end of town - upon the vehicles scattered about the area, causing them to explode, when the player character approaches.

Related quests
Arkansas is one of the four VIP targets you need to enslave for the Slavers. However getting him alive is harder than it looks at first.

Effects of player actions
Arkansas is automatically hostile to the player and will shoot at you and at objects near the PC on sight, if he is mezzed and set free he will tell you where the Temple of the Union is and will return to Minefield and will be no longer hostile towards to the player (with the exception of the script that causes him to fire at cars).

Appearances
only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * If one is to kill Arkansas, there's a chance that this will register with the Strictly Business quest as being captured.
 * If the Lone Wanderer talks to Arkansas after enslaving him (By pick-pocketing Eulogy's key and opening the slave gate) and then speaks to Grouse, Grouse will then award you 250 caps again and give you another slave collar.
 * There have been sightings of Arkansas respawning for the Strictly Business quest even after being killed by the player in Minefield.
