Brotherhood Hopeful

Brotherhood hopefuls are uninitiated recruits hoping to join the Brotherhood of Steel under the Brotherhood First Expeditionary Force at Fort Atlas in 2103.

Background
Brotherhood hopefuls are found in the exterior of Fort Atlas. Unlike Brotherhood initiates, they have not officially joined the Brotherhood of Steel, and are still hoping to be initiated into the faction.

Locations

 * Multiple Brotherhood Hopefuls spawn at Fort Atlas, but cannot be killed by the player.
 * There are multiple locations around Appalachia where Brotherhood Hopefuls and Brotherhood Initiates can be encountered, and unlike those at Fort Atlas they can be killed and doing so seemingly has no reputation losses with the brotherhood.
 * One Hopeful can be found at a checkpoint on the main road south west of The Wayward.
 * One Hopeful can be found at a crashed vertibird along a dried up stream east of Forward Station Alpha.

Appearances
Brotherhood hopefuls appear in Fallout 76, introduced in the Steel Dawn update.
