Powder Ganger

Powder Gangers are members of the powder gangs living in the Mojave Desert in 2281.

Background
The Powder Gangers are people brought by the NCR to help with various building projects. They were supplied with dynamite and weapons to protect themselves from various tribes. Powder Gangers then rebelled against NCR's harsh rule over them and used the supplies given to them as a means of putting up resistance. In Fallout New Vegas, Powder Gangers are in control of the prison that once held them and have set up numerous camps that raid travelers unsuspectingly. Ringo, a caravan guard, once held off an attack by Powder Gangers, killing three of their men, then eventually making a hasty retreat due to thier overwhelming numbers. Ringo took salvation at Goodsprings where Trudi let him take shelter at an abandoned gas station in the town. Ringo is not afraid to face the Powder Gangers again its just that he needs some support he wants to insure he is successful.

 * It is somewhat common for Powder Gangers to be invisible and friendly when approached, providing only a "Talk" option if you happen to get close enough to one of the unseen enemies. When spoken to they will instantly appear and begin attacking.
