Well it's about time someone put that bastard out of his misery!Sonora Cruz

Junders Plunkett is a hostile outlaw inhabiting the Arlington House in 2277.

Background[]

Plunkett committed theft and murder in the town of Canterbury Commons, prompting the Regulators under Sonora Cruz to place a one-thousand cap bounty on his head. As the bounty has prompted the Regulators to harass his fellow raiders for information on his whereabouts, he has sought solace in a house in the Arlington Cemetery and has taken to building a shrine to an ancient figure named Lincoln.[Non-game 1] A member of the regulators managed to track him to the Arlington Cemetery, but was killed by an unknown cause before he managed to reach the house. In the bounty notice, Junders is described as being of fair complexion, average height, and missing an eye. He is also noted for his uncommon ability with a pair of small, concealable blades that are known as Plunkett's Valid Points.[1]

If the Lone Wanderer manages to dispatch Junders and collect the bounty on his head, Sonora Cruz will remark that "it’s about time someone put that bastard out of his misery."[2]

Other interactions[]

Junders only appears in the game if the player character has the Lawbringer perk, and he will attack on sight. If killed, Junders Plunkett will have a unique finger on him which can be turned in for the bounty to Sonora Cruz, with 1000 caps paid as a reward. One does not need to kill Plunkett personally to get credit. Plunkett can die from any means, and the finger will be on his corpse.

Notes[]

Junders 2 Fingers Bug

Two fingers on Plunkett's corpse

  • Upon looting his corpse, one will find both a generic finger as well as his unique finger.
  • When the player character collects Plunkett's finger, it is considered a quest item, and cannot be dropped. Due to developer oversight, it is not removed from the player's inventory upon collecting the bounty.
  • Simply killing Plunkett will trigger the dialogue option for the Lone Wanderer to receive the 1,000 caps reward. The Lone Wanderer does not have to loot the finger to obtain the reward.
  • Plunkett has unique spiked knuckles: "Plunkett's Valid Points."
  • Having chosen for the Lawbringer perk, when entering the cemetery from the northern subway, the Lone Wanderer may see a dead Regulator with Plunkett's wanted notice.

Appearances[]

Junders Plunkett appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes[]

Junders Plunkett's victims may have included Derek Pacion's parents (Louis Pacion and Daisy Roe). The bounty notice states that he is responsible for theft and murders in Canterbury Commons; this matches up with the fact that Derek Pacion's parents lived in Canterbury Commons and were murdered by Raiders.
