Arkansas

Arkansas is an elderly, revenge-driven sniper, who lives in Minefield in 2277.

Background
Arkansas was a small boy when slavers came and captured nearly all of the people living in Minefield, but he was never found. He swore revenge, and spread rumors that a new tribe had settled down in Minefield, before he laid a trap for the slavers. If they were to come back to the town, they'd be attacked by the sniping Arkansas, or step on one of the multiple frag mines. The slavers came and took heavy damage, and never returned, leading the survivors to believe that there is a ghost inhabiting Minefield. Arkansas never left Minefield, and still stays there, sniping anyone that comes within range.

Daily schedule
Aside from targeting inanimate objects near the player, he will fire - from his perch in a three-story building at the north end of town - upon the vehicles scattered about the area, causing them to explode, when the player character approaches.

Quests

 * Strictly Business: Arkansas is one of the four VIP targets you need to enslave for Grouse.
 * The Wasteland Survival Guide: Arkansas guards Minefield and will effectively try to stop you from reaching the playground. The cars (and some other objects) are surrounded by a trap script that tells Arkansas to shoot at them when you approach, regardless of his disposition towards you or if you are hidden.

Bugs

 * A bug may occur when you kill Arkansas and loot his body. The sniper rifle may be absent from his inventory, but his body will not say "empty."  If you return to the main menu and reload your save, the sniper rifle should be present on his corpse (you may save after the bug occurs before you exit to the main menu as it is not necessary to load a previous save for the fix to work).

Appearances
Arkansas only appears in Fallout 3.
