New California Republic Overview “Hm. Didn't even hear you come up the ramp. You don't broadcast your movements, I like that.”
Ranger Ghost is an NCR Ranger stationed at the Mojave Outpost in Fallout: New Vegas. She can be found on top of the barracks.
Background[edit]
A marksman posted to the outpost, defending it against anyone coming up the I-15 from the Mojave.[1] She does not appreciate the posting.[2][3] She is frustrated with the state of the NCR and Kimball's actions.[4][5] This perception is also applied to reading people, and after being stuck in a literal go nowhere bureaucratic sinkhole, she will appreciate any and all actual vigor.[6][7]
She is frustrated by NCR command issuing orders to only maintain a standing force at the outpost rather than an effective one.[8][9] She is concerned by the lack of foot traffic and smoke rising from the nearby town of Nipton. Believing it to be an attack by Powder Gangers, she needs help determining what happened there.[10] In this situation, she hires the Courier to do so.[11][12][13][14][15] She appreciates people who are able to move quietly, in fact she can tell what kind of trade a person is in by the pattern of their pacing.[16][17]

Appearances[edit]
Ranger Ghost appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
Bugs[edit]
Ranger Ghost may repeat some of her lines when first introducing herself.- Ranger Ghost may not be on top of the barracks but to the right of the barracks entrance when facing it, although when speaking to her for the first time she will still say she heard the player coming up the ramp.
- Ranger Ghost may be bugged and stay completely frozen in position with her gun out. Trying to initiate dialogue does absolutely nothing. To stop her being frozen and be able to interact with her as normal, shoot her once, and then immediately holster your weapon. She will then turn hostile and begin shooting along with other NCR troopers, but only for a second or two - they will then become friendly again and the player can interact with her as normal.
Behind the Scenes[edit]
- Joshua Sawyer said that Ghost's script and character design was created by J.R. Vosovic. He also believed that the character was intended to be albino.[Dev 1] Vosovic stated that he envisioned Ghost as a "badass sniper just waiting for anyone to creep into her territory."[Ext 1]
