This is one of the first factions that players will encounter in Fallout New Vegas. This faction is made up of a group of prisoners that were held by the NCR at the NCR correctional Facility. However, after a prison riot, the NCR lost control of the facility, and the Powder Gangers were born. They are an organized crime gang that serves as a thorn in the side of the NCR, often attempting to dwindle their numbers, capture their troops, and generally cause mischief and chaos throughout the Mojave for their gain.
