Scavenger (Fallout 4)

Scavengers, as the name implies, are scavengers in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
Scavengers are a minor faction appearing in Fallout 4 roaming the Commonwealth, looking for anything of value to salvage and sell. While they are not always openly hostile, they are much more territorial than their Capital Wasteland counterparts and will often engage in combat if approached too closely. Since they often turn hostile when approached, they generally cannot be spoken or traded with by the Sole Survivor. Occasionally they may appear as random encounters next to broken robots, planning to scavenge them.

Scavengers appear to mostly travel in groups of about 3-4 and are most commonly armed with pipe guns. They are relatively weak opponents, on par with raiders. Unlike raiders, however, scavengers will often attempt to flee from combat if one of their comrades has been killed or if they've taken enough damage.
