The Caravan Guard is the first line of defense for the Caravan Company’s operations. Responsible for protecting Caravan Traders and valuable goods, Caravan Guards ensure that trade routes stay safe from raiders, thieves, and hostile factions. Stationed alongside traders or patrolling high-risk areas, a Caravan Guard must be vigilant, well-equipped, and ready to face threats that might compromise the company’s profits and personnel.

How to Play as a Caravan Guard
- Stay Alert in High-Risk Areas: The Caravan Camp and Routes are prime targets for potential robberies. Keep an eye on anyone suspicious and stay close to Caravan Traders handling high-value goods.
- Coordinate with Other Guards: Work alongside other guards when escorting high-profile shipments or facing increased threat levels. Regular communication with your team can differentiate between a successful job and a costly ambush.
- Control Access to the Camp: High-value goods, especially weapon shipments and medical supplies, attract attention. Ensure only authorized personnel have access to Caravan Company assets and prevent looting.
- Respond Quickly to Attacks: Raiders, scavengers, or competitors may attempt to steal goods or attack traders. Be prepared to respond with force when necessary, but always keep the Caravan Trader’s safety as the priority.

Tips for Success
- Stay Connected: Try and get a Radio as soon as possible, usually we'll just need circuits-materials to craft one by ourself.
- Watch Out for Scams: Not all wasteland dwellers have the best intentions; be cautious when making trades with unknown parties.
- Maximize Profits: Consider stockpiling highly demanded items or rare goods when prices are low, then sell high when scarcity hits.
- Trade-Patners: Be in touch almost immediately with the Factions. Set up a route to Caravan, and get the Townfolks people to purchase your merc.
