Guarded city
A guarded city is an official town where NPC guards maintain peace by tagging, shouting or shooting at law-breaking players. They are commonly considered safe, since the only way to kill someone there is to commit suicide, mostly by suicide-bombing. The most famous guarded city is certainly the New California Republic.

Guards
Guards are the ones that maintain peace in guarded cities. They are Non-Player Characters, which means they are bots, dedicated to repeat the same task (Standing and guarding the place) all the time. They are strong, fast and skilled. Who they are depends on the town they guard : Guards wearing a Combat Armor in NCR, a Metal Armor in Vault City, a Leather Armor in Junktown. However, their resistances seem not to change much whether they wear a Combat Armor or a Leather Jacket.
- Please note that city guards are different than Militia and NCR Rangers.
