Behind the Scenes
- The Claim Jumpers are partially based on the Salvagers faction that was to be featured in the cancelled Fallout game Van Buren.

In Denver there was this concept known as “Claims”. Each group had their own claims - street blocks - of which they salvaged from. You were a “Claim Jumper” if you jumped from one claim to the next and ignored other people's space.In Old World Blues, the Foragers & Claim Jumpers are the remnants of the groups kicked out of Denver when the Handogs took over the city. The Claim Jumpers are led by Bombay Jack, and the Foragers led by the more respectable Porter."
