Mr. RADical

Mr. RADical (named scavenger in-game) was a scavenger in 2281.

Background
Mr. RADical found a radiation suit and tested it by going to an irradiated area. When he found out how well it worked, he started testing it in more dangerous places. He even purchased a batch of isotope-239 igniting agent from Old Lady Gibson to dump on himself.

Though his journal indicates he may have been suffering from the onset of radiation poisoning, he dismissed it as food poisoning and continued his experiments.

Mr. RADical met his end at Clark Field, where he never had the chance to dump the isotope on himself. His remains can be found in the roadway on the north side of the location.

Quests

 * Come Fly With Me: Mr. RADical is in possession of the isotope-239 igniting agent needed for the REPCONN rocket.

Appearances
Mr. RADical appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
In his journal, Mr. RADical states that he went to Yucca Mountain to test the suit. Yucca Mountain was set to be the storage site of the United States' nuclear waste, but the plan was dissolved in 2010.

Bugs
He may spawn halfway underground. Grabbing him can make him fall through altogether. If this happens, the only way to complete the quest Come Fly With Me is to get five rocket souvenirs or taking the isotope jar from the pack brahmin found dead near the southern entrance of Clark Field.
