Primm Slim

Primm Slim is a customized Protectron found at Primm in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
An "authentic cowpoke", Primm Slim is a pre-War RobCo Protectron customized by the owner of The Vikki and Vance Casino to act as its official spokesbot. It is an almost inexhaustible source of information about the minor crooks the casino is named after, Primm, and various other spots around the town. Due to a stroke of luck, Slim managed to survive two centuries relatively intact and was restored to working order to continue its vigil over the Casino.

Not that he's perfectly intact: A pair of wannabe outlaws hacked into Slim to steal Vance's gun, so that they could embark on a life of crime.

Quests

 * My Kind of Town: Primm Slim is one of the sheriff candidates for Primm. It can be reprogrammed by using Science 30 or combining three 3 fission batteries and four conductors. Beagle will resign if Slim's made sheriff, complaining about its adherence to logic and letter of the law. Slim can be later heard on Radio New Vegas, though his programming leaves much to be desired.
 * If Slim apparently disappears after accepting the role, it's because it has a bugged patrol route that leads him to stand in one spot south of the Bison Steve Hotel for the remainder of the game. Any remaining convicts will take potshots at Slim, eventually destroying it. It will take a while, however, as Slim has an extraordinary amount of hit points to begin with and levels up with the player.
 * A Pair of Dead Desperados, I: Investigating the gun case and learning that the gun has been stolen allows the player to inform Primm Slim of this fact and pick up the trail.

Behind the scenes

 * Kristen Altamirano created Primm Slim's unique model variant and Akil Hooper wrote Slim's dialogue.
