While Boone from Fallout: New Vegas and the Sniper from Team Fortress 2 share the outward appearance of cold, quiet, sharpshooting loners, their clashing values and motivations would likely drive a wedge between them. Boone, a former 1st Recon sniper with the New California Republic (NCR), is shaped by loyalty to a cause he believes in, haunted by memories of his time in the NCR and his tragic loss in Novac. He maintains a commitment to law and order in the Mojave, doing what he can to bring stability and protect people from threats like the Legion. Boone's core motivation centers around vengeance, morality, and loyalty to those he views as trying to do the right thing—even if the NCR’s path is sometimes flawed. Sniper, however, treats his work purely as a paid profession; he has no loyalty to his team outside of his paycheck, openly embracing his role as a "merc." Boone, a veteran deeply affected by his past and his love for Carla, wouldn't respect Sniper's callous approach to combat. Boone's cautious, often guilt-laden style wouldn't mix with Sniper's carefree pursuit of profit.

Boone’s disdain for Sniper would likely deepen as he witnessed Sniper's disinterest in the NCR’s mission or the Mojave’s political turmoil. Boone is someone who'd risk his life on the I-15 to defend what remains of civilization in the Mojave, and he wouldn’t tolerate someone who could so easily switch sides for a few extra caps. In Boone's eyes, Sniper's ability to switch between factions for the highest bidder would make him no better than a Fiend or a Great Khan, groups Boone despises for their lawlessness. Boone respects those who stand firm against the Legion or who support NCR's often underfunded and overstretched operations. Whether it’s a minor NCR outpost or a major fortification like Camp McCarran, Boone fights for a better Mojave, driven by a mixture of duty, loyalty, and trauma. To see someone like Sniper, who couldn't care less about the moral weight of his actions, would only confirm to Boone that Sniper is, at best, just another "free agent" and, at worst, a potential enemy if Sniper’s employer shifted.

Their differences would likely come to a head in situations that challenged Boone’s sense of honor versus Sniper’s opportunism. If they found themselves near Helios One or in the barren hills around Nelson, Boone would likely be unnerved by Sniper’s unfeeling practicality. Where Boone sees threats like the Nightkin, Lakelurks, and Legion patrols as serious enemies to the NCR’s cause, Sniper would likely see them as mere obstacles or even, with the right contract, potential allies. Boone’s distaste would only deepen after realizing Sniper’s lack of loyalty or moral allegiance; he’d be reminded of his disdain for mercenaries and slavers alike. Boone may even feel inclined to put on Johnny Guitar or Big Iron on the Pip-Boy to drown out Sniper’s remarks, further affirming that while they both may shoot from a distance, Boone is driven by a sense of justice, while Sniper’s only true allegiance lies with his wallet.
