Blake is a merchant at the Crimson Caravan Company in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

BackgroundEdit

Blake comes from a town in the NCR called Oak Creek. Oak Creek was once a farming town, but the town was taken over by ranchers during Blake's stay. Blake says that he didn't want to herd brahmin for the rest of his life, so he signed up with the Crimson Caravan.

QuestsEdit

• Bitter Springs Infirmary Blues: You will need to buy Tiny, Tiny Babies: All You Need to Know About Pediatric Medicine as well as Stress and the Modern Refugee: A Primer from Blake and give them to Markland.
• Dealing with Contreras: Blake is in possession of some medical supplies that need to be delivered for Contreras.
• Poor Meat Never Makes Good Soup: Blake is one of the possible meat supply contractors for Camp McCarran suggested by Farber's list. A Speech check of 70 or a Barter check of 50 is required to talk him into the contract, but you can also state that McCarran has plenty of caps to deal with the cost.

InventoryEdit

NotesEdit

• He appears to carry 40 caps worth of cards every rotation.
• Every once and a while, Blake will spawn with a high amount of caps. Usually exceeding 12000 and having a few rarer weapons such as the ballistic fist and thermic lance. It is unknown if this is a bug or a random chance. (May happen when returning from Dead Money or resetting the cache.)
• When the player first meets Blake, he will have multiple low-level weapons to sell, such as silenced .22 pistols, or recharger rifles. If the Gun Runners portion of You Can Depend on Me is completed, the next time he restocks, he will instead sell weapons such as a Fat Man, Missile Launchers, Miniguns, and other such powerful weaponry.

AppearancesEdit

Blake appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

BugsEdit

• pc ps3 xbox360 Blake normally stands in front of his "store," however he has been known to disappear (or not appear at all). If a careful search of all 3 outbuildings produces no Blake, try visiting the Caravaneer's building (first on the right as the player enters the Crimson Caravan map from fast travel). There may be a crowd of Caravaners standing close together (stuck). The player's entrance should cause them to start moving on their pre-programmed paths again. After the crowd disperses, Blake should be back in his normal position (and the town should appear much more lively). ^[verified]
• xbox360 pc It is possible for certain sections of his inventory to apparently not restock the entire game, such as the aid section. ^[verified]
  • In addition, Blake's caps may never replenish as with his entire inventory.
• xbox360 pc When dismembering Blake's head, two may appear. ^[verified]
• xbox360 There is a bug whereby items purchased from Blake in poor condition will be fully repaired in the players inventory. There is also a bug whereby if two of the same item are in Blak'es inventory in different condition, and the player purchases the poor condition item, it will be the good condition item in the players inventory. The amount of caps removed will be that of the poor condition item. The latter glitch can be used to make unlimited caps. This glitch also occurs with any vendor on ps3 ^[verified]
• ps3 Sometimes when you go to buy from Blake's inventory the game will lock up forcing you to restart your system. ^{[verification overdue]}
  • If you go back to Blake and buy everything you were needing one at a time, it corrects the problem.
