Scorpions (gang)

The Scorpions are a small band of raiders and mercenaries operating in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
No different than any other raider gang, such as the Greasers operating in the outskirts of New Vegas, the Scorpions are primarily composed of petty criminals, crazed psychotics, and other unwanted folk, that strive to make caps through small-time chem peddling and mercenary work. The main rival of the bunch is the Fiends, whom the Scorpions get into frequent gang wars with when not dealing drugs. Mostly preying on the residents of Westside, the Scorpions operate out of a crumbling budget hotel, the Monte Carlo Suites. Yvette conducts raids on nearby settlements while Roller works in his converted workshop, crafting ammunition and basic weaponry for the gang. While it is not uncommon to see fighting break out between Scorpion gang members and Westside Militia guards outside the gates of town, they are not much of a threat as overconfidence and the gang wars with the Fiends keep their numbers in check.

Scorpion gangers are usually armed with guns such as 10mm pistols, sawed-off shotguns, or 10mm submachine guns. They also hold weak melee weapons such as switchblades or lead pipes. At least one of them in the suites will be wielding a Ripper. They almost always wear merc cruiser outfits.

Interactions with the player character

 * Members of the gang will attack the Courier on sight. They are also fairly cowardly; fellow members will often flee if they witness large numbers of their comrades being killed. They continue to hide inside the building until the Courier kills them.


 * At some point in development, Yvette, the gang leader, would have been the source of an optional, unmarked quest to aid the gang in obtaining "a steady supply of ammunition from the NCR quartermaster at Camp McCarran." This quest was never fully implemented, but some resources related to it remain, in particular a note titled "Ammunition for the Scorpions."

Appearances
The Scorpions only appear in Fallout: New Vegas.
