Special encounters with doctors, chem vendors, and hunters (food vendors) are also possible when traveling. Other wastelanders can be found selling random, and sometimes rare, items. In addition to these traders, there are also four caravan merchants traveling the DC wastes, with one dedicated to food and chems, one to weapons, a third to armor, and a fourth to junk items.
Doctors can treat various ailments for a fee, and certain traders can repair the Lone Wanderer's equipment. Most towns in the wasteland have merchants selling food and drinks, with those in more prosperous settlements also offering weapons, armor, and clothing.
