Trashcan Carla killed in Mutant Attack. Now No Traders?!

Post » Fri Dec 11, 2015 9:46 am

I've been storing stuff up to sell at Santuary but kept only catching the Trader's Brahmin but no trader. Ocassionally I passed through Red Rocket Truck Stop and when I did, I kept seeing the trader's Brahmin there. Walking the road as if heading to Concord, I have found Trashcan Carla's dead body. I can only assume that she was killed in a recent mutant attack (How annoying ate these attack??!!). I dragged her body onto the settlement as I thought this may help resporme her as another trader, but it has had no effect. A similar thing happened to me in Skyrim at Whiterun with Greymane during a dragon attack. It is so annoying loosing an important point of trade. Espwcially in areas you spend a lot of time. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way around it or am I forever screwed for a trader?

Are you on PC? If so, I believe you can use console commands.

I robbed her when I first met her and she wouldn't sell me anything after that (what a [censored], right?) So I put a bullet in her brain to make an example of her and covered her body with a dumpster.

That'll teach her.

You don't tug on Superman's cape. You don't spit in the wind. You don't pull the mask off the Lone Ranger. And you don't mess around with Trashcan Carla.

Pretty much the only solution is to build your own trading stands. I store everything to be sold later in the Diamond City house. Lots of vendors there.

I think it's a great feature of the game. In FO3 I used to try and buy the schematics the first time I saw them as i knew that could be the last time I ever saw them again.

Think it is a bug with Trashcan Carla. I've seen Cricket (another caravaner) get killed by Gunner's, and she stood up again, not once, but three times. I also only have Trashcan Carla's Brahmin wandering around alone. But since I haven't build anything regarding settlements, I haven't been bothered to look up her console code to respawn her.

Not 100% sure, but certain NPCs go down in to their "disabled" pose when their health is depleted. Enemy AI stops targeting them at that point. But they might be killed when in this pose if hit again. By stray bullet for example or area effect attack.

Dead traders respond well to "resurrect 1".
I had one die in the battle for Bunker Hill.

I didn't know she could die, I've seen her wreck pretty much everyone who crosses her. :gun:

She's useful early on because she comes to you, but later on, when you can build your own shops and travel to other vendors, you'll live without her just fine.

Build a trading stand in Santuary. They're cheap enough. No great loss.
