Notes[]
- If the player is Vilified in Freeside, thugs will approach the player and start a conversation, but realize that it's you and flee. Afterwards, thugs will be neutral and completely idle. If attacked, they (and any other thugs around them) will fight back. If spoken to before attacked, you will be notified that they are fleeing.
- Sometimes Freeside Thugs will spawn at New Vegas Strip gate and be fired on by the Securitrons.
- The Thugs appearance is completely randomized, these includes armor, weapon, hair, and even skin color.
- It seems their head items (glasses, hats, etc.) are always in full condition. (
confirmed) - If your reputation with the Freeside is Idolized, the thugs will still turn hostile against you. However, they are usually only armed with melee weapons and are often killed by members of the Kings.
- Kings will attack Freeside thugs.
Bugs[]
- The thugs may sometimes spawn with different skin colors, such as having purple skin.
- The thugs may not spawn at all.
- After fast traveling to The Strip North Gate there will spawn 1-2 thugs to the east side of the street behind a bus stop.
- Sometimes when a thug chases or attacks one of the citizens, the game will freeze, especially when you're with companions.
Appearances[]
Freeside thugs appear only in Fallout: New Vegas.
