Boxcars

Boxcars is an ex-powder ganger residing in Nipton General Store in 2281.

Background
Boxcars was a criminal who ended up in Nipton and planned to kidnap some New California Republic soldiers. Instead, he found Caesar's Legion 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 legionaires with hammers. The rest of the gang members were either enslaved 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 the players 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 player'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.

Notable quotes

 * "First I get my legs smashed, then in walks the Powder Gangers' grim fucking reaper? What the fuck have you got against us, man?"
 * "Jesus fucking Christ, if you want me dead, just gimme 15 Med-X and I'll fucking O.D. for ya, okay? Fuck!"

Appearances
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 him Med-X doses he will no longer have a dialog option other than "Good bye", thereby breaking the Wheel of Fortune quest.
