📋 About This Mod

The Powder Gangers are one of the most gutted factions in the game, plenty of unused dialogue, player lines, world states (such as the Legion being able to attack the NCRCF and take it over) and more. One thing that bugged either some of the more bellicose members of the New Vegas community, or just the people who don't care about the diversity and just thought the in-game excuse was lame, was the fact that Super Mutants, despite being heavily prevalent on the West Coast, practically had no real presence in Nevada aside from Jacobstown and Black Mountain.

I mean, it's been confirmed in the canon lore of Fallout that the NCR accepts Super Mutants as citizens and even has Super Mutants in military positions such as the main army and the Rangers. In fact, it's often the Super Mutant soldiers who are sent as diplomats to any Super Mutant clan or community that the NCR wants a peaceful relationship with.

However, since Super Mutants are active citizens in the NCR too, certainly there lies the chance a Super Mutant could commit a crime, such as murder or theft, to warrant being put here. But that was never touched upon in game. In fact, there's very little - considering the scope of the game - Post-Unity Super Mutant Lore in the game!

Time constraints? I don't care. They had plenty of time to cut everything interesting about the Powder Gangers when everything was practically done on their end, so I don't see much excuse here. It didn't stop some people from wanting more. So, here we are!

Well, with this mod, there are 7 Super Mutants in the Powder Gangers, four at the NCRCF, and three that spawn around the camps and ambush points with their appearance and voice type randomized on each spawn.

= NCRCF Mutants are not randomized.

With that in mind, there are two types of Super Mutant Gangers: Stupid and Smart. Each one completely voiced by two separate voice actors! These Super Mutants will have dialogue that reacts to various local events going down, such as Sloan, Primm, and even a named Ganger dying!
