Free Vic from his debt by getting his radio from his house in Klamath and paying Metzger

Free Vic from his debt by getting his radio from his house in Klamath and paying Metzger is a quest in Fallout 2.

Detailed walkthrough
After learning that Vic is being held as a slave, the Chosen One must go to Slaver's Guild to speak to Metzger about Vic. He tells them he needs parts to fix the radio. If the radio hasn't already been grabbed from his shack in Klamath, he tells them to go there and get it for him. He needs a specific item, Vic's radio.

After giving the item to Vic, he'll thank the Chosen One. Metzger will still demand $1000, so he will need to be paid at some point. The Chosen One can always come back later with more friends and wipe them out to recoup the loss. A female Chosen One with a Charisma of 5 or higher, will only have to pay $500 if they sleep with him.

After buying Vic, talk to him again about the water flask. He'll point the Chosen One to Ed the brahmin Dealer in Vault City. Quest complete.

Bugs
A glitch in the game makes it possible to buy Vic out for free. If you have the needed money, click barter, just before you hit the answer that makes you pay the $1000 (or $500), drop all your money, go back and "buy" Vic for free.
