Talk:Sam Warrick/Archive 1

Every time I have encountered Sam Warrick he is chasing a wastelander and unless interrupted kills the wastelander. I think he is a hunter of the deadliest prey - MAN! 71.8.118.121 22:27, 27 January 2009 (UTC)estheme

I don't think man is the deadliest prey any longer, what with all the deathclaws and mirelurks and such. Blutteufel 07:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

A good way to get a sniper rifle and leather armor in moderate condition is to kill him, loot him, resurrect him, then repeat until you have enough salvaged stuff for a repair of the two items.(This will only work on the pc, using console codes. I am not sure if it is a glitch but he had more stuff to loot after he was rezzed.) -The Helpful Wiki Contributer 2/18/09


 * If you´re cheating to resurrect him anyway, you can just as well cheat to get the weapon directly into your inventory. Golan2781 09:24, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

CSI reference
in CSI las Vegas one of the main characters is named sam warrick, reference?


 * Actually, he´s named Warrick Brown. To be honest though, when encountering Sam Warrick for the first time, I thought of his character too. Golan2781 16:52, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Actually I've played through twice and killed Sam Warrick twice, and neither time was he chasing a wastelander in my game :/

That means he killed him/her before you could kill Warrick. Blutteufel 07:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

The Connection to the Stash ?
Did anyone else think there is a connection between this character and the stash in the hollow rock outside Megaton? this ws th first time i encountered Sam and it was my first thought... but then who is E. ?

Sam Warrick seen near Farragut West Metro Station
Just met (and killed) Sam Warrick near Farragut West Metro Station, he was moving from North on the ramp (ruined road) betwenen two tall buildings, side by side with unnamed Wastlander (female with Motorcycle Helmet) he usually suppose to hunt, guess it's because they both just appeared in my field of view from thin air and had no time to start usual routine when Sam was shot, even his Sniper Rifle was behind Sam's back, so actually it was easy hit from distace, my PC is at LVL 10, got Gun Nut (2) and Commando perks, Luck 5 (with Lucky 8 ball in inventory), Eulogy Jones suit that ads +2 to Small Guns so it's 72(+) in total, used casual Hunting Rifle with damage 20. It took just one headshot in V.A.T.S. that ended with Critical Strike, no need for waiting and ambush. --Lasis 14:16, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Sam Warrick chased?
I actually encountered Sam Warrick (with low health) being chased by a Glowing One.. I sadly forgot the place where that happened since I didn't realize it was him by that time (Hes called Ken Rollins in the german Version). 77.24.190.122 11:50, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I saw the same thing, only it was a roaming feral. It happened near the Meresti Trainyard. So I assumed it was just the local wildlife giving him issues. Its great having him near known super mutant areas. KaisarDragon 21:17, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Wow.
I spent hours at Jury Street trying to activate this guy's spawn. Getting irritated, I take the Free-Form Encounter list B from the random encounters page, and I go through each one until I run out or I find the guy. Amazingly, he was at Canterbury. Each time I went. Perhaps I activated him before? I load my really old save, one from dozens of hours ago, like two after leaving the vault. So according to this, Sam Warrick has been squatting on this dune for three months, waiting for my return. Of course, a Giant Radscorpion kills him about three seconds before I finally get back to him. PositronicSpleen 23:17, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Kill Tips
From a distance he's pretty lethal, especially when you encounter him in the early stages of the game. Hide behind a large object that blocks his view (so he can't target you) and let him walk up to you. Wait until he's within or close to striking range, then use any firearm and your V.A.T.S system to take him down. Don't bother with his legs, arms, or torso - go for the head. Keep shooting him in the head and keep close to him. He'll start running away but won't reload unless he's gained some distance. If you stay close, you should be able to get some pretty devastating shots on his head in V.A.T.S. and thus quickly dropping his health. Keep running after him until you have regained enough AP points and start using V.A.T.S again.

If you aim at his sniper rifle in V.A.T.S. and knock it out of his hands, he runs away scared and tries to duck and hide behind something. You can then run him down and use a melee weapon or an unarmed weapon to finish him off.

Another option is using the mesmetron to confuse him, then making him give you his knife and sniper rifle. This way he is easily killed, because he will run away, as mentioned above. This means that the sniper rifle will still have CND, making it useable.

If you went for the Alien Blaster early in the game, it makes short work of him. The A3-21's Plasma Rifle which you get from the Replicated Man quest, will also kill him with one shot.

freezing if removing slave collar
The game also appears to freeze if taking off the slave collar on the PS3. This happened to me once, and I've been waiting to encounter him again so I can verify.

Is there a purpose to these characters? Can you speak with them if you are of evil alignment? So far I've killed him, Gonzo (name something like that. A mutated clown in the sewers near Grayditch), Ryan (some guy underneath Jury that improved mole rat meat), and a guy named Arkansas near Minefield. I figure NPCs with names usually mean characters you can interact with.

Hes pretty good...
I saw him gun down a freaking SUPER MUTANT OVERLORD! What the heck! CheezeWEEPツ 22:27, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Source ?
Where does the information "But his big plan is a high-value target that he can drop from a distance, and accrue enough Caps to visit Madame over at Evergreen Mills." come from? Is this confirmed or just speculation? GlowingOne 11:22, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Brahmin?
Instead of firing at a wastelander for me, he was firing at a pack of Brahmin. ...I have no idea where I am going with this. Fruckert 02:23, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Same thing for me but his dumb ass was behind a car shooting at them and hit the car one to many times and blew himself to hell.Atlas Lied! 01:29, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Frequent spawn points
For me, he seems to appear at the ruined house with a pen of dead Brahmin behind the Super Duper Mart. He's appeared there twice now, always chasing and killing a Wastelander. Anybody else have some place? 80.223.127.229 17:51, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

not really lethal
i was near scrapyard (nw look for where bb gun location is on here (i was right there, 5 feet away)) and i saw him, i walked up to him, he did nothing. i pressed e to talk to him...nothing. his name was red, he had his sniper in his hands, but he wasnt hostile. i thought maybe he was blind or something cuz he had on sunglasses and didnt seem to notice me (idk). about a minute later a wastelander came along the broken road so i killed her too to loot her stuff.173.76.121.49 21:08, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
