NCR Ranger Hit Squad

NCR Ranger hit squads operate in the Mojave Wasteland, under orders from the New California Republic in 2281.

Background
Should the Courier gain a bad reputation with the NCR, through violence, theft, or by aiding the Republic's enemies, Rangers will be dispatched to deal with the situation.

The first encounter will be non-hostile, with the Rangers instead giving the player an ultimatum and three days to improve their standing. If this warning is ignored, on their next appearance the Rangers will shoot on sight.

Characteristics
NCR hit squads usually consist of four Rangers, whose equipment is dependent on the player's level. They appear at various locations in the wasteland, from where they will move towards the player, fighting any other enemies they encounter on the way.

Notable quotes

 * "Since you haven't pissed yourself I'll assume that you don't know who we are - next time I'll bring my sickle and wear my black cloak."
 * "You've got three days to improve your reputation with the NCR or we come for you... without all of this pleasant conversation."
 * "Crap, you don't even want to live a few more days? Go. Get laid one more time or something - we're walking away. Three days."
 * "You've crossed the NCR one time too many, now you die!"

Appearances
NCR Ranger hit squads only appear in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * After delivering the warning, the initial Ranger group will wait in place where you meet them. The lead Ranger cannot be spoken to again - the screen will zoom in and out with no dialogue box. The other Rangers can be spoken to, but with only the option to say goodbye.
