Freeside thug

Freeside thugs are bandits living in Freeside in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
They are poorly equipped in both apparel and weapons and poorly organized, only working in groups consisting of 2 to 6 people.

Quests

 * ''Flogging a Dead Corpse: When walking through Freeside, a thug may stop you and lead you into an alley. A group of them will then attack you.
 * G.I. Blues: Orris will go on a detour while escorting you and you will be ambushed by 4 thugs (who work together with Orris) upon exiting the detour.

Other interactions

 * Freeside thugs will be hostile or friendly depending on your Reputation with Freeside. Either way, the Freeside thugs have little to no dialogue and interaction. The Freeside thugs respawn, regardless of your interactions with them or how they were killed.

Bugs

 * The thugs may sometimes spawn with different skin colors, such as having purple skin.
 * The thugs may not spawn at all.
 * After fast traveling to The Strip North Gate there will spawn 1-2 thugs to the east side of the street behind a bus stop.
 * Sometimes when a thug chases or attacks one of the citizens, the game will freeze, especially when you're with companions.

Appearances
Freeside thugs appear only in Fallout: New Vegas.
