A Special Encounter (SE) is a type of random encounter. They are much more rare than the standard encounters and they consist of a special map, usually with valuable goods. Generally they can be found anywhere, but specific special encounters won't appear on the zones where they don't fit. For example, you won't find an urban Special Encounter in a desert zone. They can be found many times by the same character.

Unlike regular random encounters, they each tell a small story. Keep an eye out as you explore the wasteland.
