This outfitter will only give drugs for consumption in practice.
Non-legit items are removed from inventory when location is left

I've just tested something. If you take the items/gear from the outfitter in NCR, don't place them in any of the slots (head/torso armor, weapon, etc), they will remain in your inventory when you enter Ghost Town and will become usable as any other item given there (unlike the equipment taken in "Seven Families" area, which disappears immediately after the area had been left).

Now, I know this doesn't seem as much use when facing spawn-campers, but if you check both of the entrances first, and then enter the area, it at least saves you the time to get to the outfitter there and risk getting shot.

This is my advice for sneaker builds who often eat burst rounds while gearing up.

The items taken from NCR to GT.

So why does he give them out in the first place? That's like if Santa takes away your present right after you unwrapped it. Seriously, does it matter that much if someone gets some free stuff in an about-to-end game where HQ stuff spawns and the material worth of any item is zero?
If you take the items/gear from the outfitter in NCR, don't place them in any of the slots (head/torso armor, weapon, etc), they will remain in your inventory when you enter Ghost Town and will become usable as any other item given there (unlike the equipment taken in "Seven Families" area, which disappears immediately after the area had been left).
And there's already the workaround. Why must it be like that? Just make those darn items "legit".. For a change no workarounds, just plain functionality.

The scripts are the way they are, those are the same NPCs from events held earlier in season(s), I don't think any dev is going to change them at this point.

But in earlier events the items given out aren't declared non-legit and vanish. Or makes the script those items bound to the event map?

What about leaving a few event-like guards in exit grids and outfitters?

Like a guy with 9999hps that can kill every body (with a single shot of 999 damage) who is griefing around in the spawnpoints or in the outfitter. I remember those outfitter guards in other events.

That's is just a part of "anti-fuckup" system, although you are right.
At this point it doesn't matter and could be disabled.

Some small improvements in the ghost town:

1. Additional entrance on the east.

2. Floor is cleaned automatically every 20 minutes.

3. Boosted spawning of some better stuff and removed some cheap things from the facility containers.

4. Moved the 7 famillies village between GT spawn and the ghost town. Added outfitters and guards inside.

5. Items from outfitters don't disappear when you leave location

Need a "Bomber Kit" to supplement the EW, SG, and BG kits. Would give Frag Mines, Bear Traps, and dynamite/C-4.

Or just spawn more frag mines in containers.
