"Talon Company Mercenaries”
The Talon Company is the largest of the mercenary groups in the Wasteland. They can be found almost anywhere. They put cash and loot ahead of almost anything, and will attack most groups on sight in the hopes of taking their stuff. Currently an unknown benefactor has hired the Talon Company to hunt down do-gooders. The reasons for this are unknown, but the effect is to keep the Wasteland a lawless place where the guys with the biggest guns make the rules. The Talon Company frequently has the biggest guns."

Description:
Includes a new quest and miscellaneous quest, new armors and clothing, custom paint job for the combat armor, new unique random encounters, and of course the return of Talon Company Hit Squads, all of which will completely integrate the Talon Company and its mercenaries to Fallout 4.
Main Quest:
The main quest will take place in four locations within the Commonwealth, and will give the player about an hour or more of additional gameplay depending on the player’s skill level. It can be activated two ways, first one is by reading a note posted at the bulletin board of Dugout Inn, the other can be stumbled upon by the player during his/her explorations. The quest will culminate with a boss and mini boss battle at the end, so be very prepared once you’ve decided to start the quest. The quest can be started at any level, but it is highly recommended that the player start the quest at least at level 30.
Miscellaneous quest:
The quest will take place in three locations, all located at the western part of the map, and can also be started two ways, one is by reading a journal that you’ll find at the end of the main quest, the other can be found by the player by exploration. This quest was made as an extension of the story line of the main quest, and will add another reward for the player if completed.
Hit Squads:
Talon Hit Squads will start to appear at random encounter locations all around the Commonwealth, exactly 15 days (or 3 days if the optional file is installed) after finishing the main quest of this mod. They will appear in squads of three just like in FO3, and will be a little challenging to beat if you’re not prepared. Hot spots are open roads, bridges and intersections, so be on a look out every time you pass these areas.
Random Battles With Fallout 4 Factions:
Fifteen days (or 3 days if the optional file is installed) after finishing the main quest, Talon Company Mercs will start to spawn, fighting different factions at different random locations. Factions will include the BOS, Minutemen, Super Mutants, and of course the Gunners.
New Armors / Clothing:
Talon Company Armor/Light Armor – Full Suit
Talon Company Fatigues
Talon Company Helmet
Talon Company paint job for the Combat Armor
Bonus paint job for the Combat Armor
Optional Quest YCS/186 Gauss Rifle:
Quest is only available if the player installed the optional add-on for the Capital Wasteland Gauss Rifle. Quest can be started by reading a Bounty located at the Bulletin Board in Diamond City next to the Swatters or by exploration somewhere north of the map. The quest will trigger once the player is close to the quest location.
Unique Items:
Wanda - R-91 Rifle
Xuanlong Assault Rifle - Chinese Assault Rifle
Infiltrator or Callahan's Rifle - R-91 or Chinese Assault Rifle (depends on which patch is placed lower)
YCS/186 - Classic Gauss Rifle
Lag-bolt's Combat Chest Piece - Combat Armor or Classic Combat Armor
Lag-bolt's Combat Leg Piece - Combat Armor or Classic Combat Armor
All unique's will be acquired after finishing all the quest and one will be acquired from a one of the Hit Squads.
That's about it, Main Quest and Misc. Quest are pretty much final, and I actually don’t see any reason to drag it out any longer than it is. Updates will come from patches with other mods, particularly with FO3 Classic Weapon Mods, and Talon Company Themed Mods. Unless I decided to change something major or there is some type of major bug that needs to be addressed. I will not update the main file as much, unless there’s a major reason as I stated above.
Known Issues:
Player Contract - Like in Fallout 3 Hit Squads will have contracts on them, with some of the player's details appearing. The name of the player will also appear in contracts in this mod, but I was not able to figure out how to make the gender appear like in FO3. The gender of the player will appear like this for now; "Gender: Male/Female" until I figure out to how.
