Forum:Avoiding reputation loss with the Powder Gangers??

In the quest page of "Ghost Town Gunfight", it mentions that you can avoid reputation loss with the Powder Gangers by wearing NCR armour while completing the mission. I got some armour from the tent next to where Leutenant Hayes is located ( it says that I'm disguised as a member of the NCR and all ), yet I still lose reputation with the Gangers! Hmm...

Take off the armour after the quest is over. Your reputation will be reset to what it was, before you put on the armour. 67.169.175.134 16:37, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

Now, why would you be concerned with some Powder Gangers reputation? One of the best lines in the game is the courier being known as "the Powder Gangers Grim f**king Reaper" (if you are playing as male). LOL Brfritos 03:08, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well for one, if you want to do the quest where you retake the prison for the NCR you need a decent standing with the powder gangers to begin that. However as far as I know that quest is still broke.  Aside from that, what difference does it make how someone chooses to play the game? ReapTheChaos 12:01, June 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Humm...you are taking too serious, Jimbo :/. The choice of how to play the game is from each one alone and I really don't care how they do it. It's an RPG, you know. Also, I think my reply is easely perceived as humorous than an statement, if you can't tell. And why the quest is broken? I never had a problem successfully completing Ghost Town Gunfight and I Fought the Law. Brfritos 06:34, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you decide to double cross the powder gangers and help the NCR retake the correctional facility, it doesn’t give you credit for it. I mean the quest will end and you will get the NCR fame, but Mr. New Vegas will report that the NRC’s attempt to retake the jail failed and in the end game slide show it says the same.

 * Sorry, but how the end slide is the same? If you kill Eddie that's it, you always get the same slide telling that the NCRCF is left abandoned by the Powder Gangers. What's wrong with this? If you don't kill Eddie the end-slide will be dependent of the faction you sided. If you kill or remove the leader of a group the probable outcome will be this group being dismanteled, disbanded or weakened; but if you don't kill the leader the possibility of the group's survival is higher, like it happened with Saddam Hussein, wich weren't killed in the First Gulf War and the country remained the same, altough weaker. As for Mr. New Vegas there's a lot of errors, the same happening with Primm for example. Brfritos 21:10, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * If you side with the NCR and retake the prison and kill Eddie, Mr. New Vegas will report on the news that the mission was a failure. Also the ending narration will say that the facility sits abandoned.  The reason Mr. New Vegas doesn’t say the mission was a success, and the ending narration doesn’t say the prison was retaken by the NRC is because these two items are actually missing from the game files.  Read the article page if you would like to know more.


 * My advice? Prepare to do the Ghost Town Gunfight quest, but don't go so far as to talk to Ringo when you're ready. At any time before you're ready to defend the town, head out to the NCRCF with at least 100 caps or the ability to pickpocket the key. Get in, do the quests as far as you want, up to and including completion if that's what you want, and then go back and do Ghost Town Gunfight. Gaining fame with the Powder Gangers won't cause you to gain Goodsprings infamy. The only thing that might get in your way are the two Powder Gangers behind Jean Sky Diving (as in, on the side you approach from when coming from the NCRCF). Avoid them or wear a disguise while on the quest that sends you that way. -- 15:54, June 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * What I found work everytime is during the quest, you can attack and shoot the attacking Powder Gangers. However, let the townfolks do the killing. If you want them to survive, just hit them a few times and make them focus fire on you. Just don't score any killing blow. At the end, your reputation with Powder Gangers should only drop to Shunned and you won't be hostile with them.
