Raider (Fallout 4)

Raiders are hostile characters in the Commonwealth $$

Raider
A common raider is the weakest of the cannon fodder found in Fallout 4. Armed with pipe guns and little health, they tend to survive only a few hits, even from basic weapons, before succumbing.

Raider scum
Raider scum are little more than raiders with slightly beefed up stats. They usually are armed with pipe weapons and crudely made welded armor, and also leather armor. The armor they equip may also have a few low level upgrades on them.

Raider psycho
Psychos are melee-dependant chem using raiders that charge at their enemies and may throw grenades.

Raider scavver
Raider scavvers are basic raiders that may have a wider assortment of armor or weapons; they are the most common raiders that will spawn in raider power armor. Raider scavvers are also the lowest level raider that can occasionally be seen with the sturdy variant of raider armor.

Raider waster
Wasters are a medium to high level raider. They are the lowest level raider type that can be found with combat armor, and rarely also heavy raider armor.

Raider survivalist
Stronger than the raider scum and raider psychos, survivalists tend to have more health and hit harder. They will typically hide behind objects and blindfire around them. When changing hiding positions they will take well aimed shots.

Raider veteran
Raider veterans are battle-hardened warriors. They are among the toughest raiders. These veterans are raiders who have managed to survive the perils of the wasteland for the longest amount of time. Armed with higher tier weapons such as combat rifles, assault rifles and on occasion laser weapons, these enemies are further bolstered by a high health pool and segments of combat armor. They are almost never encountered alone, in fact they sometimes act as bosses for mid level areas. Raider veterans around Hyde Park and the Quincy Quarries may be seen with sturdy combat armor, along with heavy raider, leather and even metal armor.

Raider boss
Raider bosses are unique, named raiders who lead a particular group of raiders and can be found at various specific locations. Raider bosses have the same stats as one of the regular raider types, depending on the player character's level, although they typically spawn at a higher tier than their regular raider minions (i.e. if the raiders in the location spawn as raider psychos and raider scum, the location boss may have the stats of a raider waster). Some of them are also equipped with better-than-normal equipment, such as power armor. An example of a raider boss is Boomer, the raider boss in Outpost Zimonja.

Berserk raider
During the quest The Secret of Cabot House, seven berserk raiders can be encountered in the Parsons State Insane Asylum.
