Found him, and many other random encounters in front of Med-Tek Research. Time of day doesnt matter. I just fast traveled from sanctuary to Med-Tek. Standing in the street looking at the front of med-tek, random encounter will spawn to your left down the road and walk past Med-Tek. If it is not Smiling Larry, Fast travel to sanctuary and back again. Each time will be a different random encounter Got some cool items off of legendary enemies this way, including chameleon armor :D Unfortunately, Larry has still not arrived at my settlement, even though I met all the requirements to hire him, and got his dialogue for it. My settlement Person count went up as if he was there, but he is nowhere to be seen. I think it's working, but there's definitely a time restriction. Fast traveling to sanctuary and back four times got me two random encounters: The first and the last. I don't even know if they're random encounters though, since the first was some super mutants and the second was a radscorpion.


Don't think I ever saw them and I played a million hours but I found that info from google.

One reason I want to play this again is because there is so much you can miss

Thanks, man...

I did figure out the problem as I went back on a previous save (prior to completing the Mechanist quest). Basically the Automatron expansion totally F's up all of the "random encounter" locations as nine times out of ten that stupid new Rust Devil gang spawns in almost every location once you've started the quest. So FYI to anyone looking to experience all of the random encounters, wait before starting the Mechanist quest until you absolutely have to.

There are so many awesome random encounters that even after putting a zillion hours on the game, I still never experienced. Plus they fixed the level 4 trader merchant bug, so you can recruit Smiling Larry, the Scribe, Trader Rylee and Doc Anderson problem free now.

If anyone's interested, I'll list all of the hotspots in case anyone would like to jump on it.
