“

Need to do some killin', eh?

”— Flak, Fallout 3.

Flak is a former slaver from Paradise Falls who now lives in Rivet City with his partner Shrapnel. Together they run the Flak 'N Shrapnel's weapons store in the Marketplace in Fallout 3..

Background

Flak, born in 2227 is pretty gruff, but really tries to be polite to his customers unlike his partner Shrapnel. Once a slaver, he has renounced his old life (mainly by selling out the Paradise Falls crew to Rivet City Security) and became an upstanding citizen of Rivet City.

Daily schedule

Together with his partner Shrapnel, he runs the Flak 'N Shrapnel's weapons store in the Marketplace. He can sell the Lone Wanderer ordnance and repair your weapons. Flak and Shrapnel share their store's inventory, so buying or selling from either one of them will update both of their stocks. This means that if Flak is enslaved by the Lone Wanderer for Paradise Falls, Flak 'N Shrapnel's in the Marketplace will still be open. They consistently have a larger amount of caps than the other shops in Rivet City. After the Marketplace closes, he goes to The Muddy Rudder for a drink and heads of to his cabin to sleep afterward.

Bugs

• PC If the player chooses to enslave Flak and then releases him from Paradise Falls, he may be found back in Rivet City doing his usual routine. The problem is he is now missing his dialogue options. When interacted with, he will just have a line stating "You saved me from those bastards. I won't forget it." This can be fixed by using the "removefromallfactions" command on Flak.
