Sonora Cruz

Sonora Cruz is the 35-year old leader of the Regulators in the Capital Wasteland. You can find her at Regulator HQ. When you have the Lawbringer Perk, you can gain Karma and caps by doing bounties and bringing her the fingers from evil people you have killed. You will also occasionally get a bonus from her if you give her enough fingers.

Cruz is considered plot-essential and cannot be killed, only knocked unconcious. She is equipped with a unique 10mm pistol (ID 6f210) which does a whopping 100 damage per shot. It is unobtainable by the player. However, she always flees from combat, so she never actually uses it.

Cruz and her Regulator bodyguards should be friendly towards a player with the Lawbringer perk, even if the normal Regulators who appear at random in the Wasteland are hostile towards the player.

Whenever approaching the Regulator HQ, players should circle the building and make sure to kill any hostile critters nearby. Entering the HQ while hostiles are outside causes Sonora to freak out and run outside, where she cannot be spoken with and generally will eventually disappear forever.

Reported Bugs

 * A common bug found on all versions results from the AI package of Sonora Cruz. Many hostile creatures will spawn around the Regulator HQ involving (deathclaws, radscorpions, sentry bots,and possibly a squad of enclave from 5-8 soldiers, prompting Cruz to enter flee mode. It is recommended that the player quickly kill any hostiles they encounter when they fast travel to the Regulator HQ, as Sonora Cruz will continue fleeing until they are killed. If not done so quickly, Cruz might encounter other hostiles and continue to flee.
 * Typically she does not flee too far from the Regulator HQ. Circle around the area and you will eventually find her.
 * On the PC, open the command console and type "prid 6f212" followed by "moveto player" to bring her back.
 * If this glitch happens, try walking to the HQ rather than fast traveling to it. She may appear outside again.
 * Sometimes if you go inside without killing the hostiles she will disappear from the game.
