2. Introduction on FollowersI have divided Followers into three Archtypes, Brahmin, Mercenary and Slave, there are differences between the
three some obvious, some not, but still the three are still useful and can preform different tasks too.
2.1 Brahmins Brahmins, our beloved 2 headed mutant cows, are the backbone of our caravan traders, if your good at Outdoorsman
then you may find yourself out in the wasteland being a cowboy/girl trying to tame these beasts.
- Uses
Capable of carrying items, though unsecure i used these to transport minerals and ores after mining
Can be sold to Brahmin Farmers and other players
Can be used to pull Caravans
Will attack those hostile to the player
Can be ordered to attacking people
- Caravans
Caravans are sort of secure vehicles that do not increase your speed on the map, there are two types of Caravan,
Medium and Big, i have not found the limit to which they can carry but generally speaking the bigger one should
carrying more than the Medium. to Acquire one you need
One Brahmin
4000-5000 Caps
Speak to the Caravan Trader when your brahmin is with you and then select the caravan you wish to buy, you must have
Charisma of three or more.
- Buying and Selling Brahmins
You can buy and sell brahmins at the local Brahmin herders
(Picture)
Selling: 250 Caps
Buying: 350 Caps
- How to get Them
If you are taming them, you need a Rope, which takes two Fibres to make or buy one at a trader for 100 Caps, after
getting a rope, head into the wasteland and look for a brahmin, as brahmins in pens and other places are not able
to be tamed, when you do come across a brahmin in the waste, use the rope on it, one would advise to have 100%
Outdoorsman to tame a brahmin nearly everytime, otherwise you will fail, when failing to tame a brahmin itself and
the rest of its herd shall attack you, you may however continue trying to tame the same brahmin.
Everybody loves Brahmins
2.2. MercenariesMen and Woman, who fight for cash still exist in the Wasteland, most will come equipped with some sort of weapon and
ammo but you will have to equip it with better weapons as the weapons they begin with are pretty standard, also they
will run out of Ammo
- Uses
Can carry items
Can be given different Weapons
Can be set as guards at bases and tents
Will attack anyone hostile to the Player
Can be Ordered to attack people.

3. Introduction on SlavingSlaving, a once banished activity, has come back, Poor people, Tribals and criminals are generally enslaved
and sold to the peoples of the wasteland.
3.1. How to Become a SlaverTo become a slaver is pretty simple, you must travel to the Den located in the northwestern part of the map and
speak to Metzger, hes the guy incharge of the Slavers up north and will let you join if asked, joining the slavers
doesnt make you part of a gang or anything, you recieve a Tattoo which marks you as a Slaver, once you go through
with getting the tattoo, you cannot remove it and will be marked a slaver for the rest of your days

3.3. Getting Slaves -Caputuring Slaves
To capture a slave you need:
Be a Slaver
Have Piece of Rope
Way to knock the target unconcious
First Aid/Stimpak
Free Follower Slot
If you have these, your ready to Slave!
1, Find your target, if you need to, use the Encounter Finder to find the slave your looking for.
2, when target is found, fight them and knock them unconcious
3, When unconcious use your rope on them
4, if able to enslave you will recieve the message "S/He will make a fine slave" if not you will be told you
have failed to enslave.
5, First aid or use a Stimpak on the newly acquired slave bring him back from being unconcious.
-Buying Slaves
Buying a Slave will cost more caps than if you tried to capture one, but its quicker, go to one of the slavers
marked in 3.5. and talk to them, tell them you want to buy a slave and you will recieve a list from them
3.4. Selling SlavesYou may sell slaves to Notable Slavers (see Below) and players, to be fair the caps given by the Slavers are
pretty low so you may want to sell them to other players
Males: 200 Caps
Females: 150 Caps
3.5. Noteable Slavers Name Location Affiliation
Metzger - Den - Slavers Guild
Vortis - NCR - Vortis' Slavers
3.6. Using Slaves to your advantageSlaves can be used for many purposes, here is a list of what they do and how you make them do this
- Mining
To Mine, take your slaves to a mining site, apparantly some mines do not work, so the only locations i've used
are Gecko and NCR, which both seem to work, i will compile a list of working Mine Sites "soon".
When at the mine talk to each of your slaves and select the dialogue, I want you to digg some minerals
wait a minute or two and the slaves will begin to mine, they require no sledgehammer and will just mine away even
if they are full, to which they will not stop they will just keep walking to minerals and ore mining and not gaining
anything, it takes about 10 minutes for them to do the mining, and will acquire about 10-20 of each ore and mineral
so just go do something while you wait, its better to have more than one to make it very productive.
To stop them work, Select Stop all and then Move To, then select Switch to Automove and then leave the map, your
Slaves should be with you then just stop off and take their newly acquired resources and do whatever with them
Working Mining Sites:
Gecko Mines
NCR Mines
Note: Thieves will steal your workers stuff, so come back every now and then to check on them
- Guarding
Simple really, they can work the same as mercs, just not as strong, open the dialogue and instruct them to stay here
They will stick around providing you set the right option, they will guard the area against who you believe is a threat
(Select Kill any wastelander and they will kill anyone, be sure to change it back before you take em to mines, or towns.
- Attacking
Right Click on a critter/player with your slaves nearby and attack, they will rush in and attack with whatever they have.
- Bombing
Suicide Bombing can be done with slaves, but i'll leave it at that
3.7. Slaving RunsI have not found any information on Slaving runs apart from Vederas's Guide to making money, anyone with
Information on how to do this would be most helpful
3.8. Problems and Solutions List "My Follower(s) is running around in circles like he is having an asthama attack and needs attention."Solution: alt+stop all actions."My Follower(s) is attacking everything on sight wtf?"Solution: talk to, attack style, Don't attack till you get hit."My follower(s) keep disappearing into no where and won't follow orders."Solution: Same thing as first problem but the way you are connected to followers is by perception.
You have to be seeing them and giving the order "Stop all actions" at the same time."My follower(s) doesn't follow orders correctly, I tell him to attack High Priority but he just ignores it."Solution: No real answer but to keep trying, mercs tend to have a mind of their own in a fight...
Also when a new npc or player joins the fight against you, all attack orders are reset for some reason."My slave(s) isn't listening to me and I can't give him orders via, talking to him. I'm trying to tell
him to mine.Solution: Your follower is hurt and you must heal him. Notice what he says when you speak to him and he'll
likely say something along the lines of "Master I don't feel very good." Or.... you need to log off, click
off, and restart client."My follower(s) won't follow when I tell him/her to automove. wtf?"Solution: You probably told your follower to "Stay here" in conversation mode, which causes the follower to
completely ignore the "automove" command completely for some reason. Just tell him/her to "Move to"
somewhere or just tell him/her to follow in conversation."My follower(s) are disappearing and for some reason I can't hire anymore cus im apparently "Too ugly"
...she isn't exactly Miss America either..."Solution: Two things. One: You told your follower to move to somewhere and left a random encounter
somewhere... which means he/she is lost for good. You'll have to ~disbandparty (No single way of
disbanding A follower, it disbands ALL followers.) OR There is a bug where in some encounters the
mercs aren't leaving worldmap for some reason and the Dev are working on it. Same solution though,
except the first one you can just be more careful, the second one your just plain screwed."My follower(s) NEVER listen to commands in Turn-Based combat, this sucks."Solution: No solution, your just plain fucked.. besides, mercs are wayyyyyy more useful in RT, trust me."My Big gun follower(s) keep shooting and killing me wasting all that time and money etc... this is bs."Solution: Yes it is bullshit how shitty the AI is with BIG GUNS and friendly fire, but hey, I'm sure its
on their top priority list, so just sweat it out with some smallgun followers till then, or just go lone
with it and make sure to move it where it cant shoot you from where its at. The "Move to" command is thar
and works pretty well in RT. Always better to use High priority though since they run..."My follower just stands there in a doorway not doing anything and getting tagged as blocker and killed,
what teh foo man?"Solution: Two things: 1. Your follower simply stopped there at the wrong moment and time and you didnt
move far enough in the building for him to come inside, just be more cautious. 2. Someone was in the way
and when there is no alternate route the AI gets fucked up and just sits there even when the person/thing
blockin the way moves he'll still be "Brain fucked", so be more cautious with this too....My follower(s) constantly say "He seems to be busy" when I talk to him but he is just standing there,
he isn't doing anything..."Solution: There are a couple different scenarios as to how this can happen, usually from it being blocked
from going through the only door of a building or vice versa, but either tell him stop all actions or
"Move to, then stop all actions". If that doesn't work call a gm. But don't expect it to be immediate so
if your merc is too valuable to lose I suggest placing any other followers in defense postions and hold out
as long as possible. Btw if your follower is right in the doorway trying using the push action."My follower(s) didn't come in when I went into a Encounter and I have no idea where he is."Solution: It has somethin to do with a part of the map blocking the spawning area he was supposed to come
in and it keeps him on the World Map. Your ONLY HOPE is to call a gm but if a GM isn't online don't worry
your follower(s) in the WM are safe just wait till there is one online. Can't say the same for the ones
who got through though4. Useful ToolsFOnline Encounter Finder (FEF)5. CreditsFOnline Dev Team
