Trappers (Fallout 2)

Trappers are gecko hunters in and around Klamath in 2241.

Overview
The Trappers can be located all around the area, most originating from Trapper Town, located inside Klamath. One of the most notable of trappers is Smiley the Trapper, who can be found inside the Toxic Caves but resides in Klamath. The trappers are people just trying to make money, and are sort of relentless. Their income consists of trapping geckos, skinning them, and selling their pelts. They will often blackmail people for their own benefits.

Organization
Usually gather in small groups, hunting for geckos, different variants of the rats and radscorpions. They can be encountered around Klamath patroling wasteland and searching for mutants animals. Trappers also have special areas for hunting like trapping grounds, where many geckos live. They haven't any leaders, based on a loose cooperation among themselves. Most of them live in their district in Klamath, Trapper Town, that takes care of Slim Picket.

Relations with the outside
Trappers are neutral to the most other factions, fighting only with the raiders if they encounter them during the hunting.

Interactions with the player character
