Regulators (faction)

The Regulators are a group of vigilantes They wear cowboy-style hats and Regulator dusters in the fashion of pre-War gunslingers and outlaws.

Background
The Regulators are a relatively new group in the Capital Wasteland, having appeared only in 2267 or so. They take it upon themselves to hunt down troublemakers and do their best to keep a semblance of peace wherever they are. In the Capital Wasteland, they are led by Sonora Cruz and operate out of the Regulator HQ. Regulators of the Capital Wasteland are truly just-minded and seek to punish evil.

With the Lawbringer perk, fingers can be taken from the corpses of evil humans and ghouls and can be traded for good Karma and 5 to 10 bottle caps depending on Karma level. On the other hand, the Regulators will also attempt to claim the bounty on the Lone Wanderer's head if they have accumulated bad Karma by committing serious crimes, such as destroying Megaton or enslaving people in the Capital Wasteland, or by simply murdering people.

Littlehorn & Associates are the Regulators' antagonist faction, and are associated with the Contract Killer perk.
