1) which perk is better:  ranger (+15 outdoorsman) or survivalist (+25 outdoorsman)

i'm asking because in the description for ranger it reads:

"You gain a +15% toward your Outdoorsman skill. You are more likely to avoid random encounters if you choose, and tend to find those "special" encounters more than most."

is there some added bonus to the ranger skill for avoiding encounters which is not directly derived from the outdoorsman skill?

and what does it mean by "special" encounters?


2) if i kill faction npc's in the desert does it result in reputation loss to that faction

eg: i find junktown scouts and kill them


3) do the caravan missions actually work?  i try to be there on the same day as the caravan leaving and the guy just says "no job today"....


4) can i  tag a fourth skill at some time later in the game?

cheers in advance for any help

4.  No.

To add to that:

- "special encounters" are not affected by any perks in FOnline, that's only in F2.
- you get -25 Rep per shot on a NPC faction in a random encounter.
- caravan quest aren't implement ["yet" I hope], so no.
- "Tag!" perk in F2 can be gotten at level 12, but for some reason, it isn't in FOnline, I don't know why.

No, wiki needs updating.  Yu can find em in Vault 15 west (or is it east?  Just go to the rigt of ncr till you see it) and go to the top level and use repair on one of the computers.  Only one specific computer gives parts though, should be located top-left of the screen.

There are rats, pigrats, and molerats.  And don't get freaked out if they start "squeking" .

Put it in your hand, click the water bag, click the well.

Put it in your hand, click the water bag, click the well.

tried it - and it says "that does nothing"

[Ganado]

Hold-left click the water pump so that a backpack the Inventory icon shows up, go to your inventory though that, then click the water bag.

Wierd, always worked for me.

[robino]

reloading the water definately doesn't work - not on the well in hub anyway

it is probably a specific problem to that well - bug probly

[TheGreenHand]

It's not a well that you need.  It's a water pipe.  And only some work.  If you scroll over it, it should be outlined in yellow.

ok wil try that

7) why do npc factions sometimes attack me out in the desert?

i encountered junktown scouts and geckos - all the geckos died - some from my bullets some from the scouts

i didn't think the scouts were interested in the skins so i went to picking them up - i picked up about 5 and i thought no problem (apart from this one scout who was saying things like "dont come any closer" but not shouting)

anyway my stadning to junktown isn't  bad - i have -256 to hub citizens buts thats it

so why did the junktown scouts blow my brains out?

edit: so i lost all my best stuff to a silly death (again)

[Michaelh139]

it only takes aprox 2 seconds standing next to one of those before they attempt blowing your brains out.

Which they succeeded at rarely, in this case  .
