NotesEdit

• All of his equipment is generated randomly. Some early-game useful outfits he may carry include but are not limited to the roving trader outfit or any one of the various Mercenary outfits. He also carries one or more randomly generated weapons.
• When shooting his initial weapon from his hand, he will take out an additional randomly generated weapon to replace it.
• Barton Thorn can be killed with no Karma loss.
• He may not always be alive when you arrive at Goodsprings Source. The Powder Gangers and geckos that spawn nearby sometimes kill him before you reach his position.
• Barton Thorn can be found anywhere in the general area of Goodsprings Source, which doesn't always make his directions clear. "Past the broken radio mast" is only valid if the courier engages him north of said radio mast.
• If you have the Animal Friend perk you obviously don't have to kill the geckos, but he will still say "Thanks for clearing out the geckos for me."

AppearancesEdit

Barton Thorn appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
