Eldridge is the heavily armed proprietor of New Reno Arms in Fallout 2.
Background[edit]
Eldridge is a heavily armed man covered with grease.[1] He is the resident gun-nut of New Reno. He has a large weapon collection on the wall and is adept at identifying suits of Power Armor on the spot. His establishment sells weapons to all crime families with the exception of the Salvatores, who get their laser weapons from the Enclave. Individual clients and groups are particularly welcome.
The inside of his shop carries NCR propaganda posters, while his room holds an NCR history holodisk. On his time off, Eldridge goes hunting. He lives with three dogs Packard, Buck and Missy and has two children.
