Mercenary work

[Dokk141]

I am tired of being a scavenger and taking every enemy's weapon and every piece of equipment to the merchant in order to get some caps. It's boring, not too realistic (What a sane man will buy 4 Fiend outfits and a pack of melee weapons?) and gets old fast.

So I got an idea. As there is some kind of civilization, several armies, several trading agencies and minor factions, why there is no mercenary agency? By "Mercenary" I mean not guarding the caravans, but assasinating, guarding VIPs, data stealing (and intel, in case of major factions' contracts), and so on.

Mercenary work can be done this way:

1. Low-level (1-7 lvl) contracts:

Participating in an armed conflict. Paid 50 caps and 150 XP.

Killing a randomly generated criminal. Paid 100 caps and 150 XP. Target is alone and armed with a handgun.

2. Mid-level (8-14 lvl) contracts:

Assasination. Paid 120 caps and 500 XP. Target uses a handgun. Guards (1-3) use rifles and handguns.

Data stealing. Paid 250 caps and 300 XP. Data is on one of four (eight) guards. Guards use submachineguns.

Guarding. Paid 200 caps and 250 XP. Guarded man is armed with a handgun. Killer is armed with a silenced handgun.

3. High-level (15-20 lvl) contracts:

Assasination. Paid 600 caps and 1500 XP. Target is unarmed. Guards (7-15) use assault rifles.

Intel stealing. Paid 1200 caps and 1700 XP. Intel case is in a random location, guarded by 10-15 faction soldiers. Soldiers attack player not dependant on his reputation.

Sharpshooting in an armed conflict between factions. 10-12 soldiers from each conflict side. Task is to minimize loss of client's faction and maximize loss of his enemy's faction. Paid 600 caps and 1200 XP ONLY if client's side won the battle. Additionally paid 200 caps per survivor from client's faction.

Demolition. Paid 1400 caps and 2000 XP. Task is to place explosives (quest item, in misc.) in a requested place. The place might be: drug lab, barrack, storage, workshop. The place is heavilly guarded by 15-20 soldiers of NCR, Legion or Great Khans.

Act of terrorism. Paid 1600 caps, 1900 XP and bad reputation in every faction except Legion. Task is to kill a big group (20-30 NPCs) of unarmed people.

4. Personal (21 lvl - ceiling) contracts:

Assasinate general Jameson. Paid 6000 caps, 8000 XP and good reputation in Legion. Target is armed with a handgun, 30 NCR guards are armed with assault rifles, shotguns and sniper rifles. Target is located at Camp McCarran.

Assasinate legate Gladius. Paid 6000 caps, 8000 XP and good reputation in NCR. Target is armed with a chainsaw, 12 Praethorians are armed with power fists. Target is located at Fort of Caesar's Legion.

Assasinate Cpl. Hurrican. Paid 3000 caps, 4000 XP and good reputation in Great Khans'. Target is armed with a minigun, wears power armor and has 700+ HP. Not guarded. Located somewhere in the Mojave.
