Raiders (Fallout 3)

Raiders are hostile gangs in the Capital Wasteland

Background
The raiders are common enemies, often encountered in small groups and are armed with a wide range of weaponry. They steal, torture and murder on a whim. Raider territory is marked with graffiti and mutilated bodies hung with meat hooks on chains. Raider locations have guard dogs.

Raiders are hostile to everyone except other raiders and slavers. The raider sadist armor is equipped with several dismembered hands that the raider has kept as trophies. Raiders wear various forms of raider armor.

They carry hunting rifles, sawed-off shotguns as well as melee weapons and grenades. At higher levels, they begin to carry SMGs, assault rifles, combat shotguns, missile launchers, and flamers. They will occasionally use sniper rifles from buildings with vantage points.
