Increased raider presence

[Panzermann11]

It gets kinda boring to wander the Mojave when there aren't many raiders to fight and they respawn too rarely. I'd like a mod increasing the presence of raiders in the Mojave. Powder Gangers, Vipers, Jackals, Fiends, Scorpions, Freeside thugs, whoever. Think Mojave Raiders, but more vanilla-friendly.

I've been looking too but can only find Mojave raiders which I enjoy but agree is not the most lore friendly.

Mind you, I dont care about number! I care about tougher raiders. the basic vanilla raiders are too weak. TOUGHER RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is another option Factions Reloaded - Raiders at Fallout New Vegas - mods and community (nexusmods.com)

After installing Improved Raiders my game simply can not load. I can get in new game alright, but loading old games is black screen, freeze radio sound. I dont say it's IR fault, more likely the result of install/uninstall some mods and dragging them around in order list.

Try a new game

Mojave Raiders above, priority 12 on big screen of MO2, Mod index 22 on left screen , priority 34

More Fiends version 2, priority 16 on big screen of MO2, Mod index 2e on left screen , priority 46

 

The fiends populate some spot between Goodsprings and NCRCF, the MR show a few characters in emergency service railyard near Primm Pass.

 

My new character dont have Living Anatomy yet so havent checked their actual HP. But the better raider armor show its effect: they can no longer be killed easily. Cheap HP ammo lost its OP: 22LR HP is no longer oneshot kill.
