Wasteland merchant (character)

 is a random encounter in the Capital Wasteland.

The merchant appears stoned and talks about the wasteland being alive. He dies as the player tries to make sense out of him. The Wasteland Merchant Note which can be taken from his corpse tells you that he was offered a drink from the strange residents of some "green hill". It seems the merchant participated in the same ceremony the player is invited to when entering Oasis but he didn't take it too well.

After this encounter, a marker for Oasis will appear on your Pip Boy map if it was not already there.

Loot
His equipment, Roving Trader Outfit and Roving Trader Hat, gives in total Barter +10. Immediately after talking to the Wasteland Merchant, if he is shot at by the PC, he will turn hostile. As he pulls out his weapon, he will die (as he normally does if you don't shoot him) and the PC will gain the exp. for killing him, without losing or gaining any karma.
