Talk:Ghost Town Gunfight

Power of the Atom
This comes off as a New Vegas version of Power of the Atom. They both are given early in the game, involve destroying or saving a town and both have good and evil sides to them. SuSpence95 (Talk) 00:38, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uh, no. It is a similiar type of quest, but to call it a different version is too much of a stretch. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 07:23, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree, it's got similar themes. In fact I came to the talk page to comment on exactly that; it's no surprise to me that someone has already mentioned it. Kris (talk) 02:12, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Ghost Town Firefight
I liked the old name better. It was more poetic. Ghost Town Gunfight doesn't have that same ring to it. -- 17:28, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

Using mentats and the speech magazine, I have 23/25 to get Chet to agree, but I still keep failing the speech check :( 02:30, October 19, 2010 (UTC) D

Can't find Patriot's Cookbook
I'm trying to get enough explosives skill to convince Easy Pete to give me the dynamite. The guide says you can do this with the Patriot's Cookbook that you find in the mailbox outside Doc Mitchell's house. All I found in that was a tire iron and a leather belt :/ Tikalal 21:09, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mailboxes have a chance of giving a random magazine as loot. Try checking other mailboxes in town, perhaps? Maximillian.arthur 17:38, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

what is the outcome for both sides if you attack the gang or turn in ringo?? please help? Melanie.mccabe(Talk) 15:48, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

The article mentions that a Patriot's cookbook is found in a duffel bag in the gas station but when I searched the duffel bag I didn't find it.

Ringo/Aftermath
After the fight was over. I saw and heard Ringo, shot and kill Cheyenne for no apparent reason. Possibley could be a bug. 76.172.249.120 13:38, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

It seems to me that the optional quest objectives (with the exception of Trudy) don't really have any effect aside from provide a little extra XP and loot. The residents don't equip the armor and they don't use the dynamite. 67.149.196.9 01:01, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

how to cancel this quest
I accidentally started this quest, how can i cancel it, as i want to do run goodsprings run -quest? --85.157.132.192 14:29, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

Talk to Joe Cobb and do as he says.--84.156.115.91 09:12, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Doing the quest later on
Never even saw this quest at beginning of game and just went back to goodsprings as I found out I can get a deck of caravan cards and started this quest. It was funny how he doesn't think you two have a chance (I'm level thirty with Boone (1st recon sharpshooter) and we've already gone to the fort and killed everyone there and gone to the NCR facility and massacred the powder gangers there without. Me and Boone managed that but not the fight that will happen here :P. They really stood no chance against my gauss rifle did they. --90.220.126.225 02:59, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

I gave sunny a light machine gun and T-45d and similar equipment to the rest of the town and just watched, took under 10 seconds for all the powder gangers to be mowed down.
 * I reverse-pickpocketed the Leather Armor Chet gave me onto Trudy. Nymphonomicon 19:54, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Dialog bug
I started a new game, and for whatever reason, the option to ask Victor to join the fight isn't even available in his dialog box. It's weird; I started this new game after the 1.2 patch for the X360, could that be the problem? 68.96.225.101 04:03, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

I never got the dialogue option either. I did the quest a couple of times, both before ever leaving Goodsprings. What ever the preconditions for the dialogue are, they didn't activate. Perhaps you need to exit the tutorial and/or town first, or not have spoken to victor until the quest. 74.77.129.70 21:12, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Patched?
Was this Quest altered by the May patch? The page claims you can avoid Powder Ganger infamy by letting the Goodpsrings folk do all the killing, which I did, but then I was stuck with Mixed Powder Ganger reputation. Nymphonomicon 19:54, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

"You can also start this quest by talking to Doc Mitchell, who will mention that there is trouble in town if you speak to him. " how exactly does one do that? he never mentions it to me, changed for some reason?

also having victor join isn't in his dialog when i tried it. why would the patch remove that? or did i do something wrong/article lied or something?

Townfolk use same Armor as player?
I was wearing the assassin suit as I exited the gas station as the powder gangers were approaching. I noticed one of the unnamed npc was wearing assassin armour. I killed him and assassin armour was in his inventory. Could this be a possible way to get another pice of legendary armour?


 * Most likely a bug added with the OWB patch. If anyone else encounters this, it will be added to the page. Yes Man default.png 01:32, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

unhelpful victor
think i figured it out, dialogue to ask for his help only happens if you learn of the quest from the gassstation not the saloon. need to have completed ringo's dialogue option of "and this is by choice is it?" when he says he is staying in goodsprings for a little while after you asked him what he did here....if you already saw cobb only the "i see" option exists

anybody able to confirm or disprove theory?
