* Occasionally raiders in ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' will talk about a wastelander who bluffed a group of raiders by lobbing rocks and making explosive sounds before running off. Allegedly he also did it to Super Mutants as well, who were so confused to his behavior that they couldn't move fast enough to catch him. [[note]] possibly not a straight example, as the wastelander may not have been doing this intentionally; I always assumed the person in the anecdote was a victim of the Hallucigen gas leak.

The crew believes it to be a gas grenade and hastile evacuates, leaving it open for Rao and his gang to climb in and drive it away before the crew even realizes what is happenning.
