Poor Kings

&nbsp The Poor Kings are a group of raiders who get their name from the Pre-War gang by the same name. Notorioius mostly for their grafiti and destructive ways, they remain rather harmless, as far as anyone can tell.

Background
No one knew where the grafiti came from, but it popped up everywhere, especially up north where the Kearny Marshfields are. You would assume to find a great deal of them there, but they remain unseen in that area. Actually, despite the idea of "tagging" territory, the Poor Kings have become less of a gang, with rules and hirearchy, and became more of a losely intigrated group. They have no real goals, and they also seem to be seperated from themselves.

Groups
Their main base is located on the delapotated Liberty Airport. Here, you can find a great deal of raiders, who remain non-hostile, unless fired upon.

They also can be found in much smaller numbers around downtown newark, but stay clear of the Ironbound and Chilltown. They are encountered in small groups and are armed with a fairly wide range of weaponry. They often carry pistols (.32, 10mm, and Chinese), hunting rifles, sawed-off shotguns as well as melee weapons and grenades. At higher levels, they sometimes begin to carry SMGs, assault rifles, combat shotguns, and even some big guns like the missile launcher and flamer.

Very rarely, one may even be found carrying a Gatling laser, likely taken off a dead Outcast. They can occasionally be found hunting with guard dogs as well. All raiders wear some form of raider armor and have swarthy, dirty skin. Raider locations tend to be marked with spray-painted symbols and mutilated bodies hung up with meat hooks on chains. A common symbol is a simple sad face with a crown. A rarer, humorous symbol is "fuck you" written in blood. Another symbol includes a colorful spraypainted grafiti of the name "Poor Kings". If you come across any of these symbols, be on the lookout for raiders. Raider classes tend to have different health variants. For example, the raiders with the melee weapons tend to be able to take more damage than those with ranged weapons.

Random Encounters
You may come across a random occurrence of a raider hazing ritual. Four raiders surround a fifth raider initiate standing in only his underwear, each taking a turn in beating him with a melee weapon. The dialogue suggests that he has to take and accept the pain he is receiving. The raider group is close enough together that they can all (or mostly) be taken out by a frag grenade aimed at the raider initiate. From a distance, this proves five easy kills as they will not become hostile unless the player is detected. Sometimes the raider can be seen smoking, seemingly ignoring the beating.
