My Kind of Town

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
It is given to the player by Deputy Beagle who has been tied up in Bison Steve's by the Powder Gangers who have overrun the town of Primm. The player must help the deputy, who becomes controllable with the Companion wheel after accepting the quest, getting rid of the Powder Gangers in Primm.


 * If you choose to have the New California Republic militarize Primm, you have to travel to the Mojave Outpost to the southwest and either possess 20 Barter to convince Major Knight to send support or do a few quests to gain their favor. Completion will result in an increase on prices in the Mojave Express shop due to taxes and negative comments from certain citizens.


 * If you choose to hire Meyers instead, you have to travel to the New California Republic Correctional Facility and speak to Meyers. In order to ask the NCR to pardon Meyers for his crimes so that he can become sheriff, you will need to possess 200 caps or 30 Speech. The location for the pardon is with Major Knight at the Mojave Outpost. Completion will result in a discount on prices(you get to sell items at their original value) in the Mojave Express shop and favorable opinions from the Primm citizens. If this option is chosen, Beagle gets fired from his deputy position.


 * If you decide to reprogram Primm Slim to make him Sheriff, Deputy Beagle will start sarcastically calling you "lawbringer" and saying the law isn't as "black and white as a robot sees it" (prior to reprogramming him Beagle has no problem with the idea). However this is the most convenient option as it will quickly clear out the Vikki and Vance Casino (Slim included), allowing you to freely take all of the items inside without risk of being seen.

NCR
The Mojave Outpost is to the southwest of Primm along the road and up a hill. On the way to the outpost, you can take the safe route following the road, or you can cut across, which results in encounters with a few Feral Ghouls and many Radscorpions, especially three or four Giant Radscorpions if you aren't careful.

Meyers
The NCRCF is to the north of Primm, on the east side of a mountain that is adjacent to the highway. Unless you are on friendly terms with the Powder Gangers, they will all be hostile by default. To bypass this obstacle, you have a few options:


 * You can disguise yourself with a Powder Ganger's outfit in order to speak to the Gangers peacefully. You will then have to convince or pay Dawes in order for him to open the door for you.


 * You can use Sneak (especially with a Stealth Boy) to pickpocket Dawes and open the door. If you get into a firefight with Dawes and kill him, you can loot the key from his corpse.


 * You can go in, guns a-blazing and kill Dawes, and any other Gangers that engage you, in order to obtain the key from his corpse. If you choose this path, either make sure to flee and come back later with a Ganger outfit or continue onwards into the facility, exercising extreme caution so as to avoid hitting Meyers. He is neutral by default but will turn hostile if you hit him with any of your attacks.


 * If you get the key and use a Stealth Boy before entering, you can cross to a hallway on the opposite side of the room without being detected. Take a free head shot at one of the Gangers to kill him, then back into the hallway and use VATS on each Ganger as they come around the corner into the hall.

Primm Slim
Talk to Johnson Nash and ask if Primm Slim could be the Sheriff. He admits he hasn't thought of that, but if you reprogram him, it should be fine. When you talk to Primm Slim next there will be two additional options - A reprogram using skill Science 30, or using 3 Fission Batteries and 4 Conductors to do it without having skill. Reprograming may be the easiest option, especially considering a skill magazine can be purchased from Johnson Nash

Bugs

 * Even though the Courier convinces Meyers to be the town sheriff, people across the Mojave (including citizens of Primm) will mention a disgust in Primm's militarization by the NCR.
 * Meyers may become hostile if the Courier enters the prison violently, regardless of whether or not Meyers gets attacked.
 * Dawes will speak with the Courier and collect the 100 caps if allowed but become hostile a few seconds later if the Courier is vilified by Powder Gangers
 * Powder Gangers may not attack you around NCRCF even if you are not wearing a gang uniform and are hostile towards them.
 * Meyers run away if you first visit him at NCR Correctional Facility and made deal with him instead of going to Mojave Outpost. You can find Meyers around the abandon gas station in Primm.
 * If the Courier has completed the quest "I Fought the Law" by helping the NCR take over the facility, Meyers will be locked in a permanent "Goodbye" conversation loop, talking as if the NCR is still invading, even if they killed everything and the quest is completed, thus preventing the Courier from asking him to become active Sheriff of Primm.

Behind the scenes
"My Kind of Town (Chicago Is)" is a popular song composed by Jimmy Van Heusen, with lyrics by Sammy Cahn. It was originally part of the musical score for Robin and the 7 Hoods, a 1964 musical film starring several members of the Rat Pack. Frank Sinatra regularly performed the song live, and included the song on four of his records.
