Mobster

Mobsters are criminals $$

Background
Small-time criminals affiliated with the New Reno families, mobsters can be found in random encounters around New Reno.

Gameplay
Mobsters are initially not hostile towards visitors, although they speak to them in often threatening ways. If the Chosen One has gained a title related to New Reno, their attitude changes into a much more respectful manner.

If encountered while escorting a caravan, they are flagged as enemies and must die in order to get the caravan moving, even though they will not attack the caravan without provocation. Killing them will not change reputation in New Reno.

Thug mobster
Wearing leather jackets and usually carrying sniper rifles and Tommy guns, most of the mobsters in the encounters are snipers.

Sub-machinegunner mobster
Big men in fedora suits wielding Tommy guns, they are usually more dangerous than the snipers.

Appearances
Mobsters appear only in Fallout 2.
