The fact that a minimum level was set could suggest that the raider veteran was at some point planned to scale in level with the player indefinitely, like super mutant warlords, charred feral ghouls, and various other enemies in the game. Typically, NPCs with a fixed level have no defined minimum or maximum level.

Unlike most NPCs with a fixed level, the raider veteran has a set minimum level of 39.

A group speaking Norwegian can be encountered at the wreck of the FMS Northern Star.

Ghoulified raiders can be found in various locations such as an entire gang of ghoul raiders at Quincy Quarries, one at the upper level of Monsignor Plaza, and one in the truck trailer on the path to Outpost Zimonja.

Sometimes they can be found talking about tales from the wasteland, telling stories such as 'grenade guy.'.

At high levels, raider veterans are common and are more difficult to kill due to high HP, powerful weaponry, and use of armor.

Unlike raiders in the previous Fallout games, these raiders have access to their own power armor.

Sometimes the death of a named raider boss will also be mentioned in terminal entries at other raider hideouts, such as in Jared's terminal at the Corvega assembly plant.

After clearing a named raider leader's gang, you may overhear other raider gangs discussing the former being wiped out.

While undetected around them, some raiders can be overheard talking to themselves that killing wastelanders is 'nothing personal,' and also expressing their hopes that 'the next one dies clean.'.
