Mr. RADical

Mr. RADical was a scavenger in 2281.

Background
Mr. RADical found an advanced radiation suit (though he may sometimes spawn wearing a normal one), 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.

Quests

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

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 dropped in 2010.

Appearances
Mr RADical appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

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 5 rocket souvenirs or taking the isotope jar from the pack brahmin found dead near the southern entrance of Clark Field.
