"You are a master of the outdoors. This Perk confers the ability to survive in hostile environments. You get a +20% bonus to Outdoorsman for survival purposes, for each level of this Perk." - in-game description in Fallout
Survivalist is a Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics perk and a cut perk in Fallout: New Vegas. This perk doesn't exist in the G.E.C.K. but an image of a Vault Boy named "perk_survivalist" can be found in the game files and proves that the perk was planned. Otherwise, benefit, prerequisites and description are unknown.
Fallout: New Vegas cut content refers to content in Fallout: New Vegas which was cut from the final version of the game. Most of it can still be found in the game files but is inaccessible within the game itself. Much of the equipment can only be obtained by use of console commands.
Some cut content is simply Fallout 3 content that was never removed from the game's resources.

Characters
 |
| Angel |
Angel
Angel appeared in early versions of Fallout: New Vegas, but was cut from the game prior to release. Its game files hint that Angel was supposed to appear in Gomorrah, which suggests that they were either a guard or an "escort".
Atticus
A veteran legionary within Caesar's Legion, stationed at The Fort in 2281. He was cut from the final version of Fallout: New Vegas but remains in the game's files. Not much is known about Atticus. His dialogue options appear to indicate that he is a goods runner.
Becky Bowen
The granddaughter of Lily Bowen. Becky lived in Vault 17 with her family until it was overrun by super mutants of the Master's Army. Becky Bowen is mentioned only in Fallout: New Vegas. She also appears in the game files of Fallout: New Vegas but should not be considered canon due to her being a test character.
Beggar
The beggar is a cut non-player character still present in the game's files of Fallout: New Vegas. There are 3 beggars present in the GECK, all old-aged. One has gray hair. The other two have a similar appearance to each other, although they are of different race (Caucasian/Hispanic). The beggar was added during the development stages of Fallout: New Vegas, but was cut from the final retail release of the game.
Betsy the Brahmin
 |
| Betsy the Brahmin |
Betsy the Brahmin appears to be a standard water brahmin associated with the cut character Kevin Hargrove. Although she is not placed anywhere in the game, a number of resources placed in the game indicate she was somehow tied to Freeside's north gate, in particular a disabled animal pen and gate internally referenced with her name. There are also indicators that Betsy would have served as some manner of companion, likely temporarily. An additional quest titled VDialogueBetsy (FormID 0015435e) contains two partially complete dialogue options: "Betsy, I need to go on by myself. Are you going to be okay, girl?", and "C'mon, girl. Let's get going." Both options are incomplete and lack any form of reply or script associated with it.
Bill the tax collector
a character placeholder used to narrate the ending sections of the game in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road. he serves a similar role to Ron the Narrator and can only be seen by using glitches or console commands.
Billy Bettis
Billy is a merchant that moves around the wasteland south of New Vegas Strip, the NCR Sharecropper Farms, and Aerotech Office Park. For unknown reasons, Billy Bettis will hold the sawed-off shotgun as if he is holding a two-handed shotgun, such as the caravan shotgun. It may be just a glitch the deleted character has, or it may be that he originally used a different weapon and still uses the animation for the old weapon. His character may have been cut before this could be fixed.
Bohr
A Keely's protectron assistant and was to be found in Vault 22 in 2281, but he was cut from the final game. Bohr assists Keely with her research in Vault 22 and his duties include computing protein sequences. He was ordered to wait for her return by Keely before she went down to the lower levels and has been waiting for her return ever since.
Catty Clara
An old woman, given her name, as well as her alignment being with Maud's Muggers. She was meant to be a part of the Maud's Muggers encounter that the Courier could encounter if the Wild Wasteland trait had been chosen. Catty Clara was added during the development stages of Fallout: New Vegas, but was cut from the final retail release of the game.
DrunkTestMale
There are three characters with this name, strangely enough, one is a female. She has the same appearance as Rose. The two men, also with same appearances, look like Alerio.

Jimmy Bowen
Jimmy was the grandson of the nightkin, Lily Bowen, who lived in Vault 17 until it was attacked and raided by the Master's army and was presumably killed by either the ensuing fight between Vault 17's security and the super mutants or when they attempted to transform him into a super mutant or a nightkin. Jimmy is also one of Lily's hallucinations and is also part of a memory of what Lily used to be before she was a nightkin. Jimmy Bowen is mentioned only in Fallout: New Vegas. He also appears in the game files of Fallout: New Vegas but should not be considered canon due to him being a test character.
Gomez
Gomez has a small bit of unique dialogue relating to Camp McCarran. These dialogue files tie her to the I Put a Spell on You quest as the monorail guard where she does or does not allow the Courier access to it. Ranger Gomez was set to appear in Fallout: New Vegas, but was cut from the game.
Kevin Hargrove
Kevin Hargrove is a "cut" non-player character still present in the games files of Fallout: New Vegas. A destitute-looking man that was to be located in Freeside.

Les Fretwell
A named NCR military policeman with some partially complete dialogue lines, he is placed behind the NCR Embassy, but disabled. He is linked to the cut quest Jailhouse Rock, along with trooper Willis and two unnamed NCR troopers.

Although not included in the final version, at one point Joseph Steyn was to appear "in the flesh" in Fallout: New Vegas. It is unclear what expanded role, if any, he was to serve.
 |
| Marilyn |
Marilyn
Marilyn was meant to be one of Mr. House's private securitrons, similar to Jane. She was cut from the game due to errors in her voice-over which could not be fixed in time.

Meg Reynolds
Meg Reynolds was the mayor of an area called the Underpass which does not exist in the game (though according to its cell name, Carlyle St. Clair's house is located there).

 |
| Chauncey |
Ranger Chauncey
He was to be stationed at Station Foxtrot primarily because of its proximity to Jacobstown (much like ghoul rangers are stationed at Ranger station Echo because of its proximity to Camp Searchlight).

Ranger Chauncey appears in early versions of Fallout: New Vegas, but was cut from the final product at some point prior to release.
Red Lucy Face Holder

Sen Lin
Sen Lin was added during the development stages of Fallout: New Vegas, but was cut from the final retail release of the game. Three partially removed dialogue options remain in the game's resources which were in some way associated with Sen Lin. Although their content has been completely removed, the names of two of the options—VSenLinHaveEggs and VSenLinNoEggs—suggest that the character may have been involved in some form of "gathering" quest, similar to Bleed Me Dry or You Gotta Break Out a Few Eggs.
Sylvia
Before Nipton was raided by the Legion, Sylvia was one of mayor Joseph B. Steyn's prostitutes. Although not included in the final version, at one point Sylvia was to appear in Fallout: New Vegas, as a corpse based on the G.E.C.K. ID "NiptonDeadSylviaCF".

Vault 11 survivor
The Vault 11 survivor is, as the name suggests, the only survivor of the Vault-Tec Vault 11 social experiment. Vault 11 survivor was added during the development stages of Fallout: New Vegas, but was cut from the final retail release of the game.

Wrench (character)
Wrench is referred to multiple times in the G.E.C.K. and was meant to be involved in The White Wash. The Courier would be required to buy Wrench's super tool kit back from Miguel's Pawn Shop, and then return it to Wrench. The Courier would then need to ask Wrench what he knows about the water shortage, as can be found in VMS10 in the G.E.C.K. The script for The White Wash shows that Wrench can repair things, which would explain why the Courier needs to retrieve Wrench's super tool kit.
Creatures
Brahmin WaterSkins
A brahmin, named for the leather water sacks on its back, that is inside TestMap01 and the Mentats Test Level. Brahmin WaterSkins appears in the game files of Fallout: New Vegas but should not be considered canon due to being a test cell creature.
