Trivia

 * (SPECULATION) The Mysterious Stranger is a pun aimed towards the clichéed detective, always wearing coats and hats similar to the Stranger's, and (mostly) armed with a revolver. He also bears a passing resemblance to Humphrey Bogart.

Glitches

 * When in a small area, it is possible that the Mysterious Stranger appears between you and your target during VATS. If you are still shooting you can kill the Mysterious Stranger and he will not return to help you in VATS.
 * When you are sometimes too close to your target in VATS, the Mysterious Stranger will appear directly on your target and will miss all his shots.
 * If the Mysterious Stranger appears and there is a wall or other obstacle between him and his target he will not take a shot. This will lead to you being stuck in VATS permanently.
 * The Mysterious Stranger will not function underwater. When the Stranger is activated underwater, the music will play, and the Stranger will swim around the target for a few seconds, then VATS will exit. This has no negative effects other than the fact that an angry enemy is now chasing the player, and the Stranger will continue to appear on a regular basis.
 * Sometimes, the Mysterious Stranger will spawn behind the player, who will be directly in the line of fire between him and the target. There is a good chance the player can be shot, especially if it's in a doorway or similar.
