Crazy Wolfgang is an eccentric caravan merchant specializing in the sale of junk. He wanders the wasteland in 2277.
Background[]
Wolfgang is an eccentric salesman, playing up a "crazy" persona to make sales for his wide inventory of mostly random junk. He can be traded with for a wide variety of wasteland finds.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][Non-game 1]
Uncle Roe states that Wolfgang is aware that his choice of shop specialty is unusual and won't, in and of itself, draw a big crowd, so he adopted the persona of a rather eccentric traveling merchant to draw people in. He also considers his use of the terms junk, garbage, and other such terms to describe his wares to be a very successful marketing ploy.[8] If the Lone Wanderer fully invests in Wolfgang's caravan, he will be grateful for their contributions and thank them by gifting them a set of Stealth Boys.[9]
Daily schedule[]
Crazy Wolfgang, like all merchants, follows a winding course around the eastern half of the map, stopping at Megaton, Rivet City, Canterbury Commons, Arefu, Evergreen Mills, Paradise Falls, Temple of the Union, and Agatha's house.

Quests[]
- Merchant Empire: Initially, Wolfgang has a Repair skill of 15, but investing via Uncle Roe into his caravan expands his inventory, and his Repair skill jumps to 75. This allows him to repair to 85% condition. After the second investment, he rewards the Lone Wanderer with between five and seven Stealth Boys, depending on level.

Notes[]
- Agatha includes a shout out to her "old friend" Crazy Wolfgang in her broadcast, saying, "No one can scour the Wasteland and find such oddities as you."[10]
- After fully investing in his caravan, he will then have the highest Repair skill of all the caravan merchants. Equipping him with a repairman jumpsuit (reverse-pickpocket) will boost his Repair to 80 (88% condition), giving him workman's coveralls will boost it to 85 (91% condition). This leaves him vulnerable to injury or death. If one is not present when he dies, they may lose the item they chose to equip him with when his corpse disappears from the game.

"Crazy Wolfgang:
Wolfgang might act insane, but he only plays the madman for sales. His inventory is mostly random junk, making him useful for finding custom-weapon components or just cashing in gear for caps."
