Convict

The convicts are escaped prisoners who have overrun and occupied the town of Primm in 2281.

Background
The convicts are escaped prisoners from the NCRCF (New California Republic Correctional Facility). Instead of remaining with the Powder Gangers, they decided to travel south and raid the town of Primm, lead by the convict leader.

In Primm, the convicts have taken their base of operations at Bison Steve Hotel, where they are keeping Deputy Beagle prisoner.

They will attack the Courier on sight, regardless of his/her factional standing.

Interactions with the player character
A pair of convicts can be found south of Primm, patrolling towards the Nevada Highway Patrol station. Although marked as hostile in the HUD, these convicts will not attack the player on sight. They will instead warn the player to back off, and will only attack if the player continues to approach them. These convicts will engage in combat against the Jackal raiders guarding the outside of the highway patrol station, and will usually die.

Bugs

 * If the player spawns a convict in the Strip, the convict will start dancing on the sidewalk. This is due to the convict running a sandbox package.

Appearances
Convicts appear in Fallout: New Vegas.
