Bryce Anders

Bryce Anders is an NCR ranger found in Vault 3 in 2281.

Background
Bryce Anders is an injured ranger scout inside of Vault 3. He can be found by entering the living quarters, making the first left and proceeding directly ahead through the door to find a dead Fiend along with some booby traps at the foot of some stairs leading to the recreational wing. The hallway to the door (which is up some stairs) has two mines and a tripwire booby trap on the living quarters side and another two mines on the recreational wing side. He reveals that he is on a mission to kill the leader of the Fiends in Vault 3, which initiates the unmarked quest Bounty Killer. You have the options to heal him, help him kill the leader, offer to finish the mission solo for him, or lie about his health and send him to his death. If you complete the quest, he will travel to Camp McCarran if he lives, where he will bunk inside one of the barracks tents outside. If you send him away he will open a panel that is next to the vault entry area.

It is possible to get a key to the maintenance area from him. The key is only necessary if your Lockpick skill is below 75 and you did not pass the Speech check (or wear Great Khan armor) at the entrance to the vault, which would grant you access to all sections.

Quests

 * Bounty Killer: Anders was supposed to kill Motor-Runner, but did not succeed, so he asks for the help of the Courier.

Appearances
Bryce Anders appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * If you leave Vault 3 after fixing his leg and telling him to wait there for you, but before killing Motor-Runner, he may make his way to Camp McCarran.
 * If you have teamed up with him first he will give you the key to the wing. If you however talk to him again and tell him that you'll do the mission solo, he will curse himself for not being able to do anything right as he doesn't have the key to give the player. He will implore the player to seek out the key elsewhere.
 * It is possible to get "infinite experience" by asking him "What an NCR ranger is doing here" and then choosing "[SPEECH 25] I'm independent contractor with NCR" you get 25-75 EXP every time.
 * It is also possible to get "infinite experience" by offering to take out Motor-Runner for him and choosing "[SPEECH 25] I can handle myself just fine. I found you, didn't I?" garnering 35 EXP. This dialogue option appears even after he has left Vault 3. (Note: His dialogue options will change after you heal his leg his dialogue options change so you will no longer be able to use this exploit.)
 * If you have previously completed Aba Daba Honeymoon, but have not killed Motor-Runner, then open the access hatch by hacking the nearby terminal. Once this is done it is possible to tell Anders to leave, he will then sneak out of the vault. Once he leaves you can return to McCarran without killing Motor-runner with no negative consequences, everyone will assume he is dead. This is useful if you want to stay on good terms with the Fiends for some reason.
 * If you're doing the Aba Daba Honeymoon and kill Motor-Runner after delivering the package, you can take his helmet directly to Colonel Hsu and he'll comment on how "Anders showed up not too long ago," regardless of ever interacting or even seeing Anders in Vault 3.
