Trudy let him take shelter at an abandoned gas station in the town. He then beat a hasty retreat to Goodsprings to escape their overwhelming numbers. Ringo, a caravan trader, once escaped an attack by Powder Gangers, killing three of their men in the process.

They have taken to calling themselves 'Powder Gangers', in reference to the explosives they use as weapons. Since then, they have set up numerous camps that shakedown or kill unsuspecting passers-by. 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, a small number of prisoners proceeded to sneak small portions back into their cells and used it to start a prison riot. Housed in the NCR Correctional Facility, the prisoners were subjected to extremely harsh discipline, leading some to plan a revolt. The Powder Gangers were prisoners brought into Nevada by the NCR to rebuild the railroads.
