The Foragers are a South Colorado scavenger group.

Historical background

Made up of respectable salvagers,[1] the Foragers are made up from former residents of Denver, having been kicked out by the Hangdogs, moving to New Montrose to create a new life for themselves.[2]

Behind the Scenes

  • The Foragers 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."
