'This article contains spoilers for the plots of both Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout: DUST. This article is incomplete and could use expanding.'This article lists people known to have resided in the Mojave wasteland between 2281 and 2301, including their current whereabouts and / or fate.

There are many characters in DUST who share dialogue, inventory, and/or appearances with characters from New Vegas that likely only do so as a result of developer oversight. These characters have been excluded.

Minor Characters
Note: Many of these characters have had their names changed to generic names such as "Survivor" or "Cannibal."

Survivors
Main article: Survivors

Survivors consist of people who inhabited the Mojave before the Fall and who haven't resorted to cannibalism or joined a tribe. Though mostly sane and grounded, most survivors have become weary and territorial, not hesitating to attack the Survivor on sight. Survivors can be found in many locations across the Mojave and are equipped with a mix of makeshift and salvaged weaponry.

Cannibals
Main article: Cannibals

Cannibals are survivors who have resorted to cannibalism for any number of reasons, usually desperation. They are generally armed with improvised weapons and explosives and frequently keep prisoners as human cattle. Cannibals can often be found in former settlements, supporting the hypothesis that they cannibalize out of desperation as food ran thin.

Cloud Victims
Main article: Cloud Victims

Cloud victims are former inhabitants of the Strip and its surrounding areas whose skin has been flayed off by the Cloud-infused dust storms. They are kept alive by radiation in a manner akin to the Marked Men of the Divide. They often carry improvised melee weapons, though firearms aren't unheard of.

Tribals
Main article: Tribals

The tribes of DUST arose from the remnants of factions such as Caesar's Legion, the Great Khans, Zion's tribes, various raider groups, and groups of survivors banding together. Like survivors, Tribals aren't always hostile, but are very territorial. Tribals are mostly found in locations their parent factions held, and are generally poorly equipped.

Lookalikes and Oversights
These are characters who seemingly appear in DUST, but are likely included as a result of developer oversight. This is based off of circumstantial evidence and may be wrong.
