Private Halford

Private  is a New California Republic soldier stationed in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. He can be found injured in Camp Guardian Caves.

Interactions with the player character
When you meet him, he is injuried. Use a doctor's bag to heal him. After that, he will want to get out off the cave and will join you as a temporary companion. You can either get him out the cave immediately or clear out all lakelurks in the cave.

Exploits
He is a temporary companion, he would normally only follow you until you are out of the cave, but you can have him as a semi-permanent companion. You can use the skill of Speech to have him follow you until he dies as you cant use stimpacks on him, and he will eventually die even in normal mode as he isnt a real Companion.

Note : After he join you as temporary companion, you must lead him out the cave throught the underwater exit and don't go back the cave. If you go back or lead him to the normal cave's exit, the cutsense will appear and then he say he will leave the cave and don't want to continue killing lakelurk with you. But... he again, run back to the cave ?!? and get out off the cave by the underwater exit (he can be killed by some lakelurk remain - I don't know why he acted like that).

Halford has a dialog loop glitch. You receive one Service Rifle (full condition), 32 5.56mm Rounds, 15 5.56mm Armor Piercing each time you ask for his rifle. With patience it is possible to gain thousands of rounds and hundreds of rifles. There is a crate nearby to store the rifles for sale later making you rich.
