Dead mercenary (Fallout 3)

Dead mercenaries can be found across the Capital Wasteland in 2277.

Background
Mercenaries are guns for hire in the Capital Wasteland. Their bodies are scattered throughout the wasteland in places such as Old Olney, Rock Creek Caverns, and the Deathclaw Sanctuary. They are not affiliated with Reiley's Rangers, Talon Company, or any other known mercenary group. Each merc found dead is typically equipped with leather armor in poor shape. Unlike many other NPCs, they can also be carrying a bobby pin.

Appearances
These mercenaries appear only in Fallout 3,
