NCR Trooper

NCR troopers are the main foot soldiers for the New California Republic Army in the Mojave Wasteland during 2281.

Background
The backbone of the New California Republic Army, troopers come from a variety of backgrounds and are either conscripted or volunteer. The troopers are the most common NCR soldiers seen in the Mojave and can be found at all major forts and garrisons. They vary from experienced and loyal veterans to sullen grunts.

Equipment
The standard NCR trooper's uniform is one of the several variants of NCR armor. Soldiers are issued service rifles, 9mm pistols, 10mm submachine guns, 9mm submachine guns, or 10mm pistols.

Appearances
NCR troopers appear only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

 * In All Roads, NCR troopers are seen in Chance's flashback.
 * Joshua Sawyer stated that there is an equal gender ratio among troopers, with roughly 50% female soldiers and 50% male soldiers.

Bugs
An NCR trooper called "NCR trooper MP" may randomly approach you in the Strip and attack you which also causes everybody in that area to turn hostile, claiming that no-one messes with the NCR and gets away with it, even if you have a good reputation with the NCR and have done nothing to antagonize them. Stealing from the embassy, even if you do it without getting caught, seems to attract his attention, but not always. Triggering the quest Don't Tread on the Bear! also seems to draw his ire, even if you haven't actually failed it. Killing him out of sight of others will prevent anyone else from turning hostile against you, but you may still receive Infamy with the NCR. It can be somewhat more problematic if he appears in a crowded area, you can bypass him to avoid having a fight with him.
 * Sometimes the NCR trooper MP may just appear and trigger dialogue with you, all you can say is "I need to get going," without turning him hostile.
