NEW in v05 -> There are now Raider bosses in Bethesda Ruins, Wheaton, and Evergreen Mills. All Raider stats have been upgraded.

Pistolero: Any Pistol, Badlands Armor
Punk: Baseball Bat, Sadist Armor
Gunman: Hunting Rifle, Badlands

Tier 2 (Medium)
Outlaw: Submachine Gun, Sawed off Shotgun, Badlands, Psycho-Tic Helmet
Cutthroat: Combat Knife, Painspike Armor
Marksman: Hunting Rifle, Badlands, Wastehound Helmet
Pyro: Flamer, Blastmaster Armor, Arclight Helmet

Tier 3 (Difficult)
Bandit: Combat Shotgun, Assault Rifle, Blastmaster, Metal Helmet
Widowmaker: Super Sledge, Metal Armor, Eyebot Helmet
Sharpshooter: Hunting Rifle, Leather Armor, Goggles
Blastmaster: Missile Launcher, Blastmaster Armor and Helmet

The classes are broken into three tiers of difficulty(This is actually from vanilla, but is somewhat invisible because of the randomized gear and all of them called Raider).

In all honesty, Raiders are fairly easy compared to most Wasteland mobs so even Tier 3 Raiders are not a huge problem, so don't let the labels scare you. Unless you are using Balance Overhaul & MMM of course :)

Also check the Images for some examples.

I took the Names from a lot of the old Wasteland bad guys, and one or two just from the game itself, like the
armor Blastmaster.

This mod also removes most female raiders(Now a version that adds them back). Female raiders that are placed specifically like in Evergreen and other places are still there. I felt that there were too many female raiders and they should be a very rare thing to see. In vanilla, I kept finding groups of raiders that were mostly female and it felt really off.

I've removed all the raider gore dressing. These are all the hanging body parts and tortured people. I felt it was silly that all raiders are cannabilistic sadists. Thieves, rapists, and murderers yes, but I don't think they have random body parts hanging in their supply closets or above their beds. I also removed the rainbow brite graffiti. I'd prefer no graffiti to crayon inspired graffiti. If someone makes better, more threatening graffiti in the future, I'll use that.

The more difficult Raiders have had their stats tweaked, but none of them have stats that would be greater than any other human with high stats. The widowmakers have 10 endurance but still only 115 health. Widowmakers are also 1.2 scale, so they are big guys.

Be aware that raiders will still pick up whatever the best weapon and armor is lying around, so you may still see some of them with different gear if they've had time to pick up stuff. Also, this will only effect raiders not yet spawned. If you have raiders already spawned where your character has been, then those raiders will still have vanilla gear.

This mod was created with my own personal opinion of what I thought raiders should be like. I changed a lot and this affects all raiders, so be wary if you are looking for something subtle.
