Notes[]
The ranger's appearance may vary, with differing options for facial hair, but he will always have the same outfit, resembling that of Preston Garvey from Fallout 4. Like the combat instructor, the ranger may also rarely spawn as a ghoul, though his voice will be the same regardless.
Appearances[]
The ranger appears only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Expeditions: The Pitt update.
Behind the scenes[]
- When declaring his affinity for melee weapons, the ranger uses the phrase "war never changes," a reference to the motto of the Fallout series. This is one of only two times in a Fallout game (excluding the TV series) that "war never changes" is used in dialogue outside of a game's opening or closing narration, the other being War from Fallout Tactics.[1]
- If one decides that melee weapons are the most fun to handle, the player may choose to say "Hackin', and whackin' and smackin' never gets old," to which the ranger will reply "If it's good 'nuff for Pete, it's good 'nuff for me, right?" These are references to the song "Butcher Pete (Part 1)" by Roy Brown, which has appeared in Fallout 3, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.[2]
