Talk:Split Jack

I was winning the one-on-one knife fight in VATS and all of a sudden the Mysterious Stranger decides to show up and shoots Split-Jack. The WILL cause the bandits to become hostile. Should this bug be mentioned in the article? 82.16.46.176 10:15, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Deciding to challange Jack NOT worthless
If you win the fight (Karma depending? - i was good) they ask you to arrange the contract with Lepelletier... You can ask her for -500 caps right now (betray the gang - they will turn hostile you if you speek to them again) -200/week - this will give you every 6-7 days 50 or with speech challange +25 caps -or tell her that Jack is no more: if you don't demand a payment right now, she sends you to Bigsley, that will give you an Enclave Power Armor + Helmet, a Gatling Laser and a Plasmapistol

Question
Why the hell does it say hes so hard to kill. I killed him in like 2 shots with a plasma rifle. Onipix 16:02, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Depends on your level. If you are a low level he is probably easy to kill. The last time I played this quest, I chose to fight him with knives. At level 30 with high strength and 100 Melee, it still took about 10-12 hits. The fight was also annoying because the gang members kept getting in my way blocking me from backstepping. --Kastrenzo 16:09, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

Poor Grandma Sparkle
After I convinced Split Jack out of the attacks, he told his men to kill whomever they wanted. So, as I began to walk away feeling happy that I stopped the attacks, Grandma Sparkle screams and runs past me with her hands over her head. The Bandits then proceeded to chase her whilst shooting wildly until she lay dead upon the floor. Then I watched as the gang took turns shooting her corpse, eventually ripping off all of her limbs.

Shishkebab Glitch
This may or may not be directly related to Smiling Jack, but after challenging him to a knife fight (and winning, obviously), I tried to equip my shishkebab. It still does damage and sets things on fire like a shishkebab (same weight as well), but otherwise it has the appearance (not including the backpack/gas tank contraption, which is still there) of a knife. -- Jota 18:56, January 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * After further experimentation, I found I had the combat knife still equipped -- despite being killing Raiders with the Victory Rifle. I was unable to un-equip the combat knife, although I was able to get rid of it by using it to repair another knife I found. That said, after switching to the shishkebab after equipping Ol' Painless, the shishkebab now looks like Ol' Painless (but again, still does damage as a shishkebab). I'm going to test dropping the shishkebab to see if this 'fixes' it, although there doesn't appear to be any harm done by this bug. -- Jota 19:07, January 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nope, looks like a shishkebab on the ground, hunting rifle (wielded like a sword) when picked back up. I still think using it to repair another might work, or it could transfer the glitch. -- Jota 19:09, January 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Alright, last update. Finally fixed. Somehow I was allowed to equip two weapons, and the rifle was just overwriting the shishkebab, I guess. Unequipped the rifle, everything's back to normal. -- Jota 19:11, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
