Jimbo is a member of the Network, an association of radio and cryptid enthusiasts, in Appalachia. He is also a close friend and associate of the raider punk.
Background[]
Jimbo and the raider punk met when they were both in the same group of raiders, prior to joining the Crater Raiders.[1] When they both became part of the gang at the Crater, Jimbo left soon afterwards, instead wanting to be independent. However, Jimbo did invite the raider punk into the Network, an association of radio and cryptid enthusiasts.[2]
Jimbo is a heavy chem user, and uses hard drugs much more than the raider punk. The raider punk says this is why they are not together anymore, but he still considers Jimbo a close friend.[1] Jimbo has since gone on other dates, including at the Whitespring Resort.[3] According to the raider punk, Jimbo is also a rail enthusiast who "loves trains."[4] Jimbo occasionally uses various cabins and factories in Appalachia as places to store his chem stashes.[5][6] He is sometimes "full of it" and prone to embellishments,[7] but is a good hunter and previously accompanied the raider punk on hunting trips, referring to Jimbo as his "old hunting buddy."[4] Jimbo once told the raider punk that, one time, he killed a radtoad and climbed into its carcass.[8]
Notes[]
It is never explicitly confirmed in dialogue whether Jimbo and the raider punk were romantically involved. However, the raider punk does say that he and Jimbo are no longer "together" and that he will be there waiting for Jimbo to get off of the hard chems. The script notes for this dialogue say that "He loves Jimbo but he knows Jimbo is a bit too unstable for him."[1]
Appearances[]
Jimbo is mentioned only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wastelanders update.

Jimbo also would have been mentioned in the dialogue of the beggar, a cut ally who acted as a prototype of the raider punk. However, Jimbo's background with raider gangs was not developed for the beggar, and Jimbo is only ever mentioned off-handedly as a friend in the beggar's cut dialogue.[9]
