Talk:Little Buster

I found Little Buster dead in Freeside. His body was found along the first set of train tracks you see upon entering the North Gate. He had all the items the article said he had on him. (NOTE: I had completed almost all the quests at Camp McCarran) Anyone else find this? (Xbox 360) --Dragon1300 20:21, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Exact same issue. Going to add it to the article. -EllEzDee 01:48, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe someone should find out what causes this. As said before, I had completed almost all the quests at McCarran. Maybe completing one of the quests there triggers it?--Dragon1300 03:43, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Same here, but i'd imagine it has something to do with completion of the bounty hunter quest line. As for the cause of death, as soon as i alt+tabbed back into the game, a freeside thug jumped out from around the corner next to his dead body. Since he has no chems on him, which rules out an overdose, that poorly armed raggedy thug must have killed him with a switch blade...hmmm...-EllEzDee 08:01, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Right. Saw the thug on the 360 as well...though it seems odd that a thug with little/no combat experience and a bad melee weapon was able to kill a(apparent)merc with metal armor on, holding a decent unique melee weapon. We can safely assume that he appears dead once all 3 named fiends are taken down. Just need a little confirmation and we can add it to the page. --Dragon1300 22:43, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Little Buster death script
I see you guys talking about Little Buster dying. I'm a newbie with the Gamebryo engine, but I think I found the script that makes him die:

scn LittleBusterScript

begin OnReset

if (GetQuestCompleted VMS12 == 1) && (LittleBusterRef.GetDead == 0) Disable LittleBusterDeadRef.Enable endif

end

begin OnDeath

if (GetObjectiveDisplayed VMS12 22 == 1) && (GetObjectiveCompleted VMS12 22 == 0) SetObjectiveDisplayed VMS12 22 0 endif

end

--- I think this script activates on the completion of Three-Card Bounty. It deletes his NPC at Camp McCarran and spawns his dead body on the railroad tracks. Kevs 04:25, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh wow, thanks for the clarification. Would be nice if there were some kind of meaning behind it though. I mean, he has no drugs on him, which like i said, rules out the whole overdose thing. There's no way that little thug could have "killed" him. So he just died did he? :( -EllEzDee 08:07, October 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Eerr, if he ODed on chems, he would have ingested them, which means they would have not been in his possession any more since he took them-if it makes you feel better, maybe he was lured into an ambush like the Courier is when you first enter Freeside. Thugs have about 50 melee skills.


 * Odd. Seems to make no sense on how he died...I'm guessing Cazadors. I blame them for everything bad that happens in New Vegas...--Dragon1300 02:50, October 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm...you might be onto something. Arrived at the cap counterfeiting shack, only to find a handful of counterfeit caps. "Where did they go" i wondered. Cazadors. About 5 of 'em outside. Shattered my dreams...
 * Anyways. Can we be certain VMS12 is Three-Card Bounty? Is there any way to check without downloading the :::G.E.C.K? -EllEzDee 14:02, October 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * No idea why people are so intrigued about finding him dead, I mean all of his dialogue shows the guy as a wimp who got lucky a couple times spending his time telling tall tales about himself. Finding him dead after he was no longer needed at McCarran where he had it easy seems logic enough... --Penumbra 07:56, November 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * You don't know the obsessive gamers brain - everything needs to be connected, and needs to have some deep and meaningful connection to other events people in the game.


 * If you talk to him at mc carran, he talks about a plan for getting rich by gambling at gomorrah. It probably involved cheating, he was discovered, killed and dumped in freeside
 * Nothing so involved as that. It's just a comedic value thing. After all the tough guy talk and playing himself up as one of the greatest and most well-renowned warriors in the Mojave, he ends up being killed in an alley by some Freeside junkie. It's just a stab at how much bullshit the guy was talking. 110.174.91.113 14:47, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

i wonder wtf am i doing wrong i complete 3 card bounty and little fucker isnt in camp macnamarran or dead at freeside i need that weapon the cram opener EDEit: YOU have to WAIT 24-48 hours before is body spawns at freeside i have it now MUAHHAHAHAHHA

I think you have to wait the normal 73 hours before he disappears from Camp McCarran. I tested it quite a few times and he never disappeared from the camp after waiting 24-48 hours. He only disappeared after waiting 73 hours or more. Also, he never disappears while waiting inside the camp. You have to wait 73 hours outside the camp, go back into the camp and make sure he is gone, then go to Freeside to find him dead. Timzamp 17:08, August 28, 2011 (UTC)

Possible Relation to Buster?
Could little buster possibly be the son of Buster (from fallout 2)? Both the dates and locations make it feasible.--Lordofsleepy 17:07, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
