Dale Barton

Dale Barton is a wandering merchant found at Fortification Hill in 2281.

Background
Barton prefers to trade in Legion territories versus NCR territories, saying that he finds it cheaper and safer. This is due to Caesar not demanding (or needing) heavy taxes from traders in his territory and the Legions effectiveness in keeping the trade routes secure from both raiders and creatures roaming the wastes. When asked about Legate Lanius, he mentions Lanius killing one of his brahmin just because it got in his way, though he goes on to say that he had sense enough to keep quiet and not seek reimbursement from Caesar.

Dale is the one who salvaged a howitzer from a military base in Yuma, Arizona (presumably the Marine Corp Air Station Yuma) and then sold it to Caesar's Legion.

He has a large selection of items and regularly updates his wares.

Effect of the player's actions

 * He will not trade with you if you have a poor reputation with the Legion.

Notable quotes

 * "Hell, I don't even need to travel with guards most of the time in Legion territory. All the bandits are dead or run off."

Appearances

 * Dale Barton appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Trading with Dale Barton can cause the game to crash. The only way to clear this problem is to restart game (PS3) or restart the console entirely (Xbox 360). This appears to happen most often when buying weapon mods or caravan cards. Buying in bulk is less likely to cause the error. To get around it, purchase items two or three at a time.
 * Game may crash at the end of a game of Caravan.
