Has anyone else found the "secret" vendors/ripperdocs in Dogtown yet? I'm not sure if these are widely known but I've only just discovered them on my 2nd run-through so maybe I've been just a bit blind before.
There is at least 1 "secret" (as in they don't show up on the map at all or only appear after a certain mission) Vendor and 1 ripperdoc that I've found so far. The Vendor is just outside the shut-down restaurant you enter to phone Reed. They appear to just be a normal NPC until to you talk with them when they reveal that they're a drugs dealer, allowing you buy one of the $12,000 "special" enhancement perks (+5 to carry etc). The NPC will also give you a hint of how to get into the restaurant which doesn't involve following the cables up along the bridge.
The Ripperdoc only appears after the side mission where Scavs have taken over the hospital and captured the ripper and the end of the mission is you rescuing the Doc from a Russian lady who is after her brothers body. Once you finish that mission, if you go back across the street to where the priest who gave you the mission is waiting and talk to him he'll say "pop back later and we'll help you out" and, if you return to the hospital (called Haven) a day later it's now back working as a ripperdoc which you can use.
Again, maybe these are already well known which makes me look silly calling the "secret" but, despite putting 25hrs into my first PL run-through, I'd missed them both.
There is also a side-gig where there is a robot in the Stadium market which has had its memory chips scrambled/removed and, if you start the quest to find it's memory chips, you end up running all over the marketplace looking in all the various nooks and crannies before having to make a decision on what to do with the robot once you've collected everything. The only clues the robots gives you are close-up images of where the chips are so if you've explored the market lots you should recognise most the places from details around the edges of the photos but the last one was very hard to find for me.
