How to Get Spray and Pray in Fallout 4

As we said, Spray and Pray in Fallout 4 can only be obtained from a certain NPC, namely Cricket. She is a traveling merchant from Bunker Hill and sells a variety of melee and firearms, including Spray and Pray SMG. However, be prepared for the fact that finding it will take quite a lot of time.

Where to Find Cricket in Fallout 4

As befits a traveling merchant, Cricket does not stay in one location. Instead, her caravan travels through the southern part of the Wasteland. Moreover, she always takes a random path, so it is difficult to find out her exact location. However, there are a few places where Cricket can stop in Fallout 4:

Outside Vault 81
Outside Diamond City
Outside Warwick Homestead

In addition to them, her caravan can be found near other locations. But it is important to note that the merchant’s caravan does not stop when passing them:

Wilson Atomatoys
Wreck of the FMS Northern Star
Quincy Quarries
Peabody House
Poseidon Energy
Hangman's Alley
West Roxbury Station
Fallon's Department Store
Milton General Hospital
Boston Police Rating Site
Fairline Hill Estates
Quincy Ruins
Quincy Police Station
Gunners Plaza

And finally, you have a small chance of meeting this merchant in your settlement. To do this, you will need to build a trade caravan post.
