After the most recent patch, all Powder Gangers in the Mojave Wasteland will start out neutral towards the player at the beginning of the game, although they will turn hostile if the player character garners a negative reputation with the faction.Note that killing Powder Gangers, even those who attack unprovoked, will cause infamy with the faction unless done from Sneak mode or at a long range. The Powder Gangers at their NCRCF headquarters would initially be neutral, as would Powder Gangers at certain other locations, such as the train cars south of Sloan. Prior to the most recent patch, Powder Gangers encountered at Powder Ganger camps or at random in the Wasteland would initially be hostile towards the player, unless the player receives a positive reputation with the Powder Gangers.Interactions with the player character Interactions overview Interactions There are two options for the Courier to choose from: help the Powder Gangers take over Goodsprings or get the town together and fight off the invaders. While Ringo is not afraid to face the Powder Gangers again, he knows that he needs some support to ensure success. The Ganger Joe Cobb followed him to Goodsprings but has not been successful in finding his hideout. Trudy let him take shelter at an abandoned gas station in the town.

They have taken to calling themselves 'Powder Gangers', in reference to the explosives they use as weapons. Since then, they have set up numerous camps that shakedown or kill unsuspecting passers-by. The revolt was successful and the prisoners took over the facility, killing most of the former guards. Having been supplied with dynamite for the purposes of breaking up rocks on the railroad, a small number of prisoners proceeded to sneak small portions back into their cells and used it to start a prison riot.

Housed in the NCR Correctional Facility, the prisoners were subjected to extremely harsh discipline, leading some to plan a revolt. The Powder Gangers were prisoners brought into Nevada by the NCR to rebuild the railroads.
