Forum:Novac Raider Body

So I'm trying to get the raider wastehound helmet and so far what appears to be my best chance is this raider body that spawns on the bridge near novac but the body isn't there. The novac wiki page says it spawns randomly but now that I think of it, in all my multiple playthroughs of new vegas I don't think I've ever notice a body on that bridge though I've only just started actually looking this time. So does this body randomly spawn each time you visit novac or does it only spawn when you begin the game and if it doesn't you'll have to start a new game and see if it spawns then?

When you first arive at Novac the raider spawns dead but will desapier after some time so if you dont loot fast you dont get to loot.Know that the body contains headwear only 3 out of 10 times.The raider only spawns once per game.You have a better chance buying one at NCR trader at Hoover Dam(his name starts with a B) or Great Khan armorer as they sometimes sell raider headgear when their inventory respawns.Good luck.109.93.146.99 10:33, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

I've never seen it either, I've checked when first arriving in Novac and throughout my game on several playthroughs. I even posted about it on the talk page for Raider armor. However the last poster is correct, Quartermaster Bardon and the Great Khan armory often sell them. With both of them, if they dont have it in their inventory you can stand in front of them, use the wait feature for 3 days and their inventory will restock, of course that doesn't guarantee they will have the item then either.

Thanks guys! I just went to Bardon and found two Wastehound helmets AND a Psycho tic helmet too! :)

Contrary to others, I always encouter the Raider and it's always a female one. Also, she never disappears. I'm on a PC, so I don't know if this make a difference. Brfritos 19:43, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with Brfritos. I've always found the raider's body on the bridge across the way from the dino, and it's always been a female. I use a 360. I have never gone back to check on her, so I cannot say if the body disappears or not though.--DarkCheshire 01:54, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
