NCR Ranger hit squad

NCR Ranger hit squads operate in the Mojave Wasteland, under orders from the New California Republic in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
Should the Courier gain a bad reputation with the NCR, through violence, theft, or by aiding the Republic's enemies, Rangers will be dispatched to deal with the situation.

The first encounter will be non-hostile, with the Rangers instead giving the Courier an ultimatum and three days to improve their standing. They will appear again over the next few days to remind the player that time is running out. If all the warnings are ignored and the player remains an enemy of the NCR, on their next appearance the Rangers will shoot on sight.

Characteristics
NCR hit squads usually consist of four Rangers, whose equipment is dependent on the Courier's level. They appear at various locations in the wasteland, from where they will move towards the Courier, fighting any other enemies they encounter on the way.

Bugs

 * After delivering the first warning, the initial Ranger group will wait in place where you meet them. The lead Ranger cannot be spoken to again - the screen will zoom in and out with no dialogue box. The other Rangers can be spoken to, but with only the option to say goodbye.

Appearances
NCR Ranger hit squads appear only in Fallout: New Vegas.
