Scorpions (gang)

The Scorpions are a band of raiders in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
The Scorpions are a group of raiders, primarily found outside the borders of Westside, however they seem slightly more civilised than the average raider and the Fiends. Their headquarters is the Monte Carlo Suites. Members are usually armed with light armor and small guns such as 10mm pistols, sawed-off shotguns or 10mm submachine guns or weak melee weapons such as a switchblades or lead pipes. At least one of them in the suites will be wielding a Ripper. They almost always wear merc cruiser outfits.

Interactions with the player character
Members of the gang usually attack the Courier on sight. They are also fairly cowardly and individuals will often flee if they witness large numbers of their comrades being killed, however they will not leave the building and merely run around in fear until they are killed by the player.

Note

 * Several gangs members spawn in a room with a locked door. If the lock is broken they can be sealed in permanently (unless the perk Infiltrator was chosen by the player).
 * Scorpion gang members will not respawn after being killed, so once the gang is wiped out it will be permanently eliminated from the game.

Appearances
The Scorpions appear in Fallout: New Vegas.
