Campsite Encounters

Expect these encounters at any campfires you might stumble upon. One example would be just east of Concord, in the small parking lot.

Encounter	Notes
Encounter	Notes
Deserted Campsite	A small camp with a few beds and containers to loot. There’s a chance the Raiders who made this camp may return. Only occurs at night (20:00 to 06:00)
Dead Scavengers	A pair of Scavengers have succumbed to Bloodbug prodding. Loot the camp if you’re able to finish off the insects. Only occurs at night (20:00 to 06:00).
Merchant of Dreth	An arms dealer named Dreth and her two guards occupy this camp. Buy any armaments you wish from her.
The Walking Wounded	A wandering doctor has finished treating a patient.
Time to Party	A bartender and friends ask you to join their camp party. Only occurs at night (20:00 to 06:00).
Chems Vendor	Need a little pick-me-up? A chem vendor can be found with just the wares you need.
Dirty Laundry	A Raider is boiling some attire to clean them. He’s rather ill-prepared for combat. Only occurs at night (20:00 to 06:00).
Drug Overdose	Too many chems have killed these Scavengers. Now their corpses feed the Radroaches. Only occurs at night (20:00 to 06:00).
Daddy and Daughter	A father and daughter share a campsite.
That’s Not a Sandwich	Two (vaguely idiotic) settlers argue over some food.
Synth Attack Aftermath	A camp of Scavengers is looking distinctly worse for wear after a recent synth massacre.
Synth Ambush I	Have you chanced upon an empty camp with a container? It may be a trap! This occurs once Main Quest: Hunter/Hunted is complete and the Institute are still active.
Synth Ambush II	Three settlers are in camp. Moments later, synths teleport in and a massacre begins. This occurs once Main Quest: Hunter/Hunted is complete and the Institute are still active.
Super Mutant Camp	A group of greenskins is camping out. Only occurs at night (20:00 to 06:00).
Mirelurk Bake	A group of Raiders is eating some delicious Mirelurk bake. Why not help yourself?
Exiled Scientists	Scientists Lawrence Higgs and Max Loken may be spotted at a campfire if you exiled them during Institute Quest: A House Divided. Only occurs at night (20:00 to 06:00).
Skinny Malone, All Alone	Did you keep this guy alive during Main Quest: Unlikely Valentine? Then you might see him at a campsite. Only occurs at night (20:00 to 06:00).
Sick Scavenger. Mystery Meat	An ill Scavenger mentions some bad meat he consumed. He took it from Longneck Lukowski’s Cannery. Why not see what’s going on there?
Rylee the Trader	Once you visit Longneck Lukowski’s Cannery and meet Rylee, you can barter with her again at a camp. Only occurs at night (20:00 to 06:00).
Deserted Feral Camp	This camp looks devoid of human contact. This is technically correct, as you’re subsequently ambushed by ferals.
Occupied Feral Camp	Two dead Scavengers and four feasting ferals. You probably know what happened here.
Vicious Dog Camp	A dead Raider and masterless dog are encountered. Down, boy.
Deserted Camp with Mines	Watch your step and disarm the mines scattered around this camp, or face a crippling injury.
Yao Guai Camp	A ferocious clawing beast has wandered into a Scavenger camp. The scavengers came off second best.
Raider Camp and Dogs	Vicious dogs are gnawing at a couple of camping Raiders.
Stash and Lexa’s Camp	You witness the final encounter with these two traders if you encountered them previously.
Runaway Synth Camp	A group of settlers has discovered one of their own isn’t as “fleshy” as they once thought. Quest: The Nuclear Option must not be completed.
