Raider (Fallout 4)

A raider is a hostile character in the Commonwealth in the 23rd century.

Background
Raiders are loose bands of murderous, sadistic bandits scattered throughout The Commonwealth who rob, kill and pillage anyone and anything. The Sole Survivor can often find gangs of them holed up in abandoned building and even in fortifications that the raiders have built themselves.

Raider
A Raider is the weakest of the cannon fodder found in Fallout 4. Even the greenest of players should have little trouble in dispatching several of them. Armed with pipe weapons and little health they tend to survive only several hits from early game weapons before succumbing. New players should be warned that they usually travel with stronger variants, and on occasion a boss.

Raider scum


Raider scum are little more then Raiders with slightly beefed up stats. They usually are armed with pipe weapons and crudely made welded armor. Low level players may find these opponents somewhat challenging. However, after several weapon upgrades and a few levels they should fall with little effort.

Raider psycho
Psychos are melee-dependant chem using raiders that charge at their enemies and may throw grenades.

Raider scavver
Raider scavengers are basic raiders that may have a wider assortment of armor or weapons; they are the most common raiders that will spawn in Raider power armor.

Raider survivalist


Stronger than the Raider Scum and Raider Psychos, Survivalists tend to have more health and hit harder. They will typically hide behind objects and blindfire around them. When changing hiding positions they will take well aimed shots that are best avoided. Not terribly strong but still caution should be taken when encountering these.

Raider veteran
Raider veterans are battle-hardened warriors. They are among the toughest raiders.

Raider Veterans are those raiders who have managed to survive the perils of the wasteland for the longest amount of time. Given the dangers associated with the profession, it should come as no surprise that these enemies can pose quite a challenge. Armed with military grade weapons such as combat rifles, assault rifles, and on occasion laser weapons. These enemies are further bolstered by a high health pool and segments of combat armor. They are almost never encountered alone, in fact they sometimes act as bosses for mid level areas.

Raider boss
Raider Bosses are unique, named Raiders who lead a particular group of Raiders and can be found at various specific locations. Raider bosses have the same stats as one of the regular Raider types, depending on the player's level, although they typically spawn at a higher tier than their regular Raider minions (i.e. if the Raiders in the location spawn as Raider Psychos and Raider Scum, the location boss may have the stats of a Raider Waster). Some of them are also equipped with better-than-normal equipment, such as power armor. An example of a Raider Boss is Boomer, the Raider Boss in Outpost Zimonja.
