Easy Pete

 is a former prospector living in the Mojave Wasteland in the town of Goodsprings in 2281.

Background
Easy Pete used to be a prospector, looking for working tech, chems, and guns to sell. Pete mentions that he once hit a "real good claim" "out east by the river", possibly referring to Cliffside Prospector Camp. He eventually got tired of the prospector life and decided to settle in Goodsprings, where he now watches over the brahmin and bighorners. He also occupies a house in Goodsprings where the player can take anything they want without any negative karma, as well as sleep on the couch or bed since Easy Pete never sleeps in both at the same time. Easy Pete can be found outside the Prospector Saloon, sitting on a chair. He may be short with his answers, but they are on point.

Usually (atleast on the pc version), if you ask easy bete to join the gunfight in goodsprings, he will not attack, and will be forever stuck in his chair, even if you kill him and try and grab his body, it cannot be removed from the chair.

Quests

 * Ghost Town Gunfight: The Courier can persuade him to hand over some dynamite to help defeat the Powder Gangers or to actually take part in fighting the Powder Gangers. The player will need an Explosives skill of 25 to convince Pete to hand over the dynamite. He can die from the resulting attack on the the town during this quest.
