Bandit Tribes

The bandit tribes of the wasteland are large groups of ruthless scavengers and raiders who rob, murder, and pillage in order to survive. Bandit tribes are found across the wasteland in many shapes and sizes, composed of people from all backgrounds. Many groups of bandits go unnamed, known only by the bloodshed they cause, while many others gain a certain level of notoriety.

Origins
The origin of bandit tribes in the wasteland is not a complicated one; the human will to survive pushes people to do unspeakable things. And as history has shown, safety can be found in numbers. While there may not be a detailed and documented history of bandits in the wasteland, it is well understood that bandits are really only out here to survive; no matter how brutal they are.

Bandit Culture
Bandit tribes vary widely in make and form, though tribes typically have a leader in some capacity; someone to call the shots and to inspire the rest. Bandit leaders are sometimes picked for their strength or intelligence, while others are self-elected.

Bandit fashion and engineering varies widely across the wasteland. Bandits in the deserts of the American Wasteland are known to incorporate metal spikes on their armor and vehicles, as well as bloodstained skulls and banners; while bandits in the South American Wasteland like to wear old-world military uniforms and keep their weapons in peak condition. Overall, different bandit tribes are known for different themes they incorporate, as well as the brutality of their actions.
