Irradiated heavy trooper

Irradiated heavy trooper is a marked man found in the Long 15 in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Background
Proximity to the nuclear blast that leveled the Long 15 outpost killed unprotected troops and civilians while savaging NCR heavy troopers. Instead of dying outright, the blast turned them into a variation of marked men, flayed dead men walking who lash out at all who come near.

Quests

 * The Apocalypse: If the player elects to nuke Long 15, these troopers will be encountered at the ruined Long 15 outpust. The combination of salvaged power armor, high level weapons, and level 50 make them very dangerous foes.

Behind the scenes

 * An additional, unused variant of the irradiated heavy trooper exists within the resources of Lonesome Road. Also called "irradiated heavy trooper", this version differs primarily in that it has 5 for all SPECIAL statistics. It also is equipped with a minigun loaded with 5mm AP rounds, rather than a random loadout. Internally this version has the Editor ID NVDLC04NukeNCRColonel, indicating that this may have been an early stand-in for Colonel Royez.

Appearances
Irradiated heavy troopers appear in the Long 15 which is only accessible if the player nukes NCR territory at the end of the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.
