Provisioner

A provisioner is a settler assigned to a supply line, tasked with hauling cargo between settlements to facilitate the sharing of resources and inventory between settlements connected to the supply network.

Background
Provisioners are appointed by the Sole Survivor to run supply lines between owned settlements. They travel between two connected settlements, usually leading a pack-brahmin, and will engage any hostile creatures or enemies they encounter along their route. If the Provisioner is killed, the supply line will disappear and the Sole Survivor will have to replace him/her.

Interactions with the player character
The Survivor must appoint settlers from owned settlements to provisioner by tasking them to run supply lines between two settlements. A provisioner's gear and weapons can be changed by initiating dialogue and trading items with them. A provisioner may select to wear unoccupiedPower armor (Fallout 4) if caught in combat at a Settlement.

If the Survivor is in combat, provisioners will run to their aid if they happen to pass through the area.

Appearances
Provisioners appear only in Fallout 4.
