In the Town of Hope, guarding the gate was an easy job.
Although it was separated from the Wasteland by only a door, and two steps forward would take one to a hell no one cared about, it was ultimately not on the Wasteland itself, so one could earn a considerable salary without taking too great a risk.
And the job was respectable enough.
Whether conducting legitimate business or not, people, when approaching the vicinity of the settlement, would all be somewhat cautious.
Even Looters would need such a safe place to exchange their plunder for other items they needed.
Otherwise, what they'd stolen would be worthless trash, left on the ground for Scavengers to collect or for other Waste Land Wanderers to claim as spoils of war.
Especially nowadays, most of the wastelanders here were using automatic rifles produced in the Southern River Valley Province.
