“Sorry I had to bother you. I've... well, I've lost everything.”
The destitute traveler is a traveler residing at the 188 Trading Post in 2281.
Background[]
Destitute travelers are individuals traveling from California to New Vegas who were gambling to win big, but instead, were quickly drained of bottle caps. Some destitute travelers come back to the 188 Trading Post to beg for caps and literally give their clothing to help them safely get back home.

Notes[]
- Though being a uniquely named non-player character, the destitute traveler is no more unique than any other wasteland wanderer.
- The destitute traveler will act hostile towards the Courier if they have a negative reputation with the NCR.
- Sometimes, the destitute traveler will ask the Courier to spare caps. They can lend him 25 caps but receive no Karma for doing so. He then explains that he lost everything.

|---|
- The destitute traveler was disabled in one of the patches in order to improve performance and free up memory for the DLC.
- The traveler was originally going to be a part of the cut quest, Chip Provenance. But, this was cut before the game was finished and never incorporated. The only remaining part of the quest is the targeting data left in the GECK with leads to the traveler.
