Boxcars

Boxcars is a Powder Ganger residing in Nipton General Store in 2281.

Background
Boxcars was a criminal in Nipton who was planning to kidnap some NCR soldiers. Instead, they were ambushed by a group of Caesar's Legion soldiers led by Vulpes Inculta, who forced him and the other townspeople of Nipton to enter a lottery. The winner was let go while Boxcars got second place and, although allowed to keep his life, had his legs crippled by Legionaries. The rest of the gang members were either enslaved, crucified, or killed along with Nipton's mayor Joseph B. Steyn.

Quests

 * Booted: When asked about what happened to the people that got enslaved in the lottery Boxcars tells the player they went east.
 * Wheel of Fortune: The player can find out where the Hidden Supply Cave is with Boxcars' help.

Effects of player's actions

 * If the player has a bad reputation with the Powder Gangers, Boxcars will give the player a not so warm welcome when first talking to him, referring to him as "the Powder Ganger's grim fucking reaper".

Other interactions

 * The player can give him some Med-X for his legs which, depending on how many doses given, will boost the Courier's Karma but will not affect reputation with the Powder Gangers. You can only give him Med-X once in one transaction, from 1 to 5 doses.

Appearances
Boxcars appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Due to a scripting error, Boxcars' legs are not crippled, allowing him full normal movement if engaged in combat.
 * Boxcars is set to respawn within the game. Respawning occurs every three days, and will reset his inventory (possibly changing his worn clothing) and resurrect him if he was previously killed.
 * Sometimes after giving or not giving him Med-X doses he will no longer have a dialog option other than "Good bye", thereby breaking the Wheel of Fortune quest.
