Since then they have set up numerous camps in the area north of Primm and south of Sloan that shake down or kill unsuspecting passers-by walking along the I-15. Quite a large group, however, headed by Eddie stayed behind in the Correctional Faciity, realizing that the same walls that kept them inside could also keep out their enemies. The successful rioters took to calling themselves Powder Gangers in reference to the explosives they use as weapons.Ĭooke eventually left the prison and headed north to plot further terror against the NCR, taking a sizeable entourage of loyal followers with him. The revolt was successful and the prisoners took over the facility, killing most of the former guards. Having been supplied with dynamite for the purposes of breaking up rocks on the railroad, Cooke organised a small number of trusted fellow prisoners to sneak small portions of the explosive back into their cells, and eventually they used it to start a prison riot.

Housed in the New California Republic Correctional Facility, the prisoners were subjected to extremely harsh discipline leading the radical anti-NCR terrorist Samuel Cooke to plan a prison break. The Powder Gangers were prisoners brought into Nevada by the NCR to rebuild the railroads. 2 Interactions with the player character.
