Legionary Assassin

Legionary Assassins are Legion operatives living in the Mojave Wasteland

Background
Small groups of four elite killers, usually led by a Decanus, Praetorian guards or a Centurion, sent to eliminate the Legion's enemies.

First Group

 * 1x Decanus
 * 2x Veteran Legionaries
 * 1x Vexillarius

Second Group

 * 1x Centurion
 * 1x Prime Decanus
 * 1x Veteran Legionary
 * 1x Vexillarius

Third Group

 * 1x Praetorian Guard
 * 1x Veteran Decanus
 * 1x Veteran Legionary
 * 1x Vexillarius

Characteristics
Legionary assassins begin to appear if the player obtains a Shunned or worse status with Caesar's Legion. They will travel across the wasteland from their original spawn point toward the player's current location, not stopping until they encounter them. Assassins may also attack other non-player characters they pass near while searching for the Courier, such as NCR settlements or traveling merchants.

Spawn points

 * Directly north of the fast travel point at the Nipton Road pit stop, behind a rock.
 * At the Ivanpah underpass near the Mojave Outpost (up top and near the middle so they can attack from either approach).
 * On the highway directly behind Wolfhorn ranch.
 * Across the tracks from Ranger Station Charlie.
 * On the highway between Novac and El Dorado Gas & Service (approximately when passing the Southern Nevada Wind Farm).
 * From behind El Dorado Gas & Service.
 * From Between REPCONN Headquarters and the NCR Ranger safehouse.
 * From the western end of the bridge between Cassidy Caravans wreckage and the Grub n' Gulp rest stop (will attack from either direction).
 * Just south of Fields' shack, across the tracks, are some squatters around a burning barrel. Spawn is south of them, east of the New Vegas medical clinic.
 * Northwest of the Griffin Wares sacked caravan, on the road that opens into the Ruby Hill Mine area. This group will also attack if the Courier remains too long in the area of the Followers Safehouse.
 * Between Chance's map and the mouth of Red Rock Canyon.
 * On the train tracks north of Nipton (just slightly north of the coyote den).
 * Just outside of Vault 11 in the direction of the El Dorado substation.
 * North of the emergency service railyard.
 * North of the raided farmstead.
 * Along Highway 95, north of Camp Searchlight, just past a partially collapsed road sign.

Appearances
Legionary Assassins appear in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Legionary assassins are better equipped with high-tier weapons and armor (e.g. centurion armor, super sledge or thermic lances) from the early game (levels 5–11) instead of the middle or end of the game.
 * Fast-traveling before the assassins become hostile may cause them to despawn instead of tracking the Courier to their new location.
