Mister Holdout

Mister Holdout is a weapons merchant living on the New Vegas Strip

Background
Mister Holdout sells "easy-to-hide" weapons on the Strip to bring in and out of the casinos. He dislikes entering the casinos without a weapon, stating that he prefers to have "a little *insurance* when it's [his] caps on the table." He recalls knowing one individual that was able to sneak a pistol past casino guards.

Gameplay
Mister Holdout will sell holdout weapons to sneak into the Gomorrah, The Tops and Ultra-Luxe casinos. With a Sneak check of 50, the player can convince him that they can "get weapons past the guards, no problem," with Holdout stating that he is "guessing [the Courier] could get a machine gun by them," rewarding 50 XP. This has no effect on the weapons he sells.
