There should be some Ultra mercs avaible to hire:

NCR Ranger in NCR with LSW/Plasma Rifle
HUB Officer in HUB with Avenger/Sniper Rifle
VC Patrol in VC with Improved Flamer/p90

Their prices could be simillar to Mutants prices

[Ganado]

So you are suggesting overpowered mutants mercs, except now they will even have more gun options available, and they can run!

They got rid of mutants for a reason... and especially with broken economy, this is bad.

[DocAN.]

with my other suggestion: 1 merc per alt it woudnt be a problem

[headshot]

-1
It does mean more mercs swarm. 10000 caps for dog in Junktown as soon as big factions got those mercs.

[Michaelh139]

1 merc per alt = 100 alts = 100 ultra mercs.

[Slaver Snipe]

I don't like the idea of having mercs with high as fuck stats to start out with but this idea might have potential if those mercs had some type of special ability, for example a slaver merc would be able to enslave 1-2 people on his own...perhaps an ncr merc being able to recruit a person or two to "join in the fight" things like that could be interesting.

Mercs soon won't come with free equipment anymore , you have to equip them on your own.

If it comes to hth mercs, they are already have to be armed becouse combat knife/sledgehammer < ripper/cattle prod/ssh ;]

Hmmm i think this would just overpower merc artillery even further.
Better balance out mercs more and as Surf said in future mercs wont be equipped when hired we could think about what weapons they can use. you can equip them yourself then and make some badass ultramercs like him:

[DocAN.]

What does it mean that we will able to equip them?
We will be able to give them BA and Gauss ?

At the moment: You buy merc. Merc comes with gear.
In some sooner update: You buy merc. Merc comes without gear.

[JovankaB]

Not that it matters whether they come with rocket launchers or not, if you spend half a million on 5 big gun mercs

I think the gear is not really a problem, because prices of mercs are dynamic, so the cost of gear is already included by free market forces.

[Surf]

Indeed, but let's consider prices of mercs are in reasonable regions, 1-2k caps for a ghould + a new sniper rifle isn't good either.

[Ulrek]

If you buy a merc with a 10mm SMG, you can sell the SMG for 1k caps. since its brand new, and worth its full value.

So if the merc prices are low, you -can- hire a merc and than get a large part of its cost back, depending on how much it cost.

Are we ever going to get respawnable followers? (Not mercs) Having a crew that you've levelled along with your character would be very rewarding.
