Notes

  • The southwest corner of the RobCo Facility is a random encounter location.
  • Tinker Joe sells the highest number of scrap metal after Karl in the Meresti Metro Station.
  • Sometimes after the player has bought Sergeant RL-3 and choosing him as a follower, Tinker Joe and his protectron will randomly spawn with you after fast travel or entering a location then run away, most of the time resulting in his death.
  • After reverse pickpocketing items onto Tinker Joe it may take up to three days before he'll equip the new items; entering and exiting nearby locations such as the RobCo Facility or Tenpenny Tower will not speed the process.
  • He will sometimes equip gear that you sell him, such as Raider armor.
  • Tinker Joe refuses to sell Sergeant RL-3 to you unless you have neutral Karma saying that he "doesn't like the look of you".
  • If you wish to purchase the RL-3 bot, you must do it as soon as possible..... occasionally Tinker Joe will run into Yao Guai and 90% of the time will fail to defeat it and parish. Yao Guai often spawn in the path of Tinker Joe in a trailer just south of Tenpenny Tower.
