Template:Character Sonora Cruz is the leader of the Regulators in the Capital Wasteland. You can find her at Regulator HQ. When you have the Lawbringer Perk, you can gain Karma by doing bounties and bringing her the fingers from evil people you have killed. You will also occasionally get a bonus from her if you give her enough fingers.

Cruz is considered plot-essential and cannot be killed, only knocked unconcious. She is equipped with a unique 10mm pistol (6f210) which does a whopping 100 damage per shot. It is unobtainable by the player. However, she always flees from combat, so she never actually uses it.

Cruz and her Regulator bodyguards should be friendly towards a player with the Lawbringer perk, even if the normal Regulators who appear at random in the Wasteland are hostile towards the player.

Whenever approaching the Regulator HQ, players should circle the building and make sure to kill any hostile critters nearby. Entering the HQ while hostiles are outside causes Sonora to freak out and run outside, where she cannot be spoken with and generally will eventually disappear forever.

Known Bugs

== (possible Playstation3 tip) == to get sonora back to regulators HQ first you cant kill sonora so once you find where she is hiding(no further then the scrapyard in any direction) just shoot at her and chase her back to the regulators HQ. if you cant get her to run in the right direction get a weapon that has a higher DAM and keep shooting her in the head in the direction you want her to go it takes a little longer that way but it works RtR!

  • Different Occasion: Found her about 20 meters to the west of the shack after scaring her out of the house by accident (entered the building before killing hostiles outside after fast-traveling). She just stands there and acts like she's inside but is out of any enemy's spawn range.
  • (possible) After entering Regulator HQ with Fawkes, Sonora immediately sprinted out the door, followed by one Regulator. Upon exiting the building, no trace of her could be found. There was also no Unconscious message.
  • Found that she only ran away when her brahmin were scared. if you kill anything attacking them she should return. If they die then she doesn't come back.
  • Entered the HQ with the T-51b Power Armor/Helmet on. She sprinted to the door upon sight of me, along with any other Regulators that saw me. I took off the armor and walked up to other Regulators and they weren't bothered. I went outside and waited 12 hours, went back in, and she still wasn't back.
  • (possible)PC Fix: It seems that if Sonora flees, she can be summoned back to her normal area, and should return to business as usual by using the console commands: "prid 6f212" followed by "moveto player". If this fails, she can be "reset" by opening the console. First call up Sonora with her reference ID (COMMAND: "prid 6f212"). Then use the commands "kill", "resurrect", and "moveto player". This seems to "reset" Sonora to a state where she will not try to flee. It is best to attempt this fix while inside Regulator HQ so Sonora reappears in the correct location. Often killing and resurrecting does more harm than good (e.g. crashing the game) so try first withouth. Then "disable" and "enable" the character, which usually resets the AI.

If you do this, you should try and respawn her on the roof of the shack so that she cannot run away. use the tlc command to reach the roof.

  • (possible)Both Versions tip: If you go into the world map and measure roughly the distance to the scrapyard, then make a circle around the HQ with the same distance, she should be somewhere inside there. She never flees too far before stopping. Just run in this area and check out any friendly NPC markers on your compass.
  • (xbox 360)Found her at nearby Armory, seems to have decided to remain in that area getting knocked unconsious. My rule of thumb is to look for the note "Sonora Cruz is unconcious" to appear and try and find the NPC attacking her. Brahmin respawned at HQ, she has not returned with them.Ctsamurai 02:31, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
  • I found Sonora to the west of the HQ(dont know the exact distance, but it wasnt too far at all. In fact, kind of short). She was located a nearby a Enclave Farm Camp and will flee some more if the Enclave starts shooting at you.
  • To quickly find her type in console:"player.moveto 6f212". That will teleport you to her.

Appearances

Sonora Cruz appears only in Fallout 3.

Found her a little ways South West of the HQ, she seemed to have kept running until she hit a rock and was being knocked out by a Mole Rat over and over again.
