Smuggler

Smugglers are hostile NPCs encountered in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout. They can be found all over Point Lookout, most prominently along the southern coast, and are more frequently encountered as the add-on's main quest line progresses. They roam Point Lookout hoping to find profit from its rumored hidden treasures.

Equipment
The equipment used by Smugglers is very diverse. For defense, they wear Merc Outfits, Leather Armor or Combat Armor whereas their offensive arsenal includes nearly all weapon types.

Melee-oriented Smugglers use virtually all Melee Weapons from Brass Knuckles to Super Sledges and Rippers. In addition, they carry Frag and Plasma Grenades. Ranged combatants employ Small Guns and Energy Weapons, from 10mm Pistols to Plasma Rifles, and Missile Launchers.

Smuggler at Herzog Mine
Above Herzog Mine is the mutilated corpse of a recently-shot smuggler, which has just fallen from some wooden planks. His body contains Leather Armor, Brass Knuckles and the Smuggler's Confession holotape, explaining his death in better detail. Sometimes if you are at the entrance to the mine and you look up, you will see the "ghost" of the smuggler above you, only to revert to a lump of meat if you climb back up to the planks. If you approach the Herzog Mine for the first time from the water and work your way up, you can actually see him fall from the planks. One can also witness the execution of the smuggler from the entrance of the Herzog Mine in what probably is a random encounter.

Appearances
Smugglers appear in the Point Lookout add-on for Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the Smuggler above Herzog Mine will appear alive and friendly. If you talk with him, you will find a blank dialog box and he will say nothing. He does not fight back when attacked and you will receive experience by killing him (as much as a normal smuggler) but no karma loss/gain. He can also be pick-pocketed for Leather Armor, Brass Knuckles and the Smuggler's Confession Holotape. (Confirmed PC & Xbox 360)
