Wheel of Fortune



Wheel of Fortune is a side quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Location
This quest is given by Logan, a prospector inside the storage room at Camp Searchlight. The storage room is in the church in the southwest of the town. You must hack the terminal (average) and tell Logan where the suits are to get the quest.

Detailed walkthrough
A group of mercenaries inside the NCR storage room are looking for radiation suits. After hacking the terminal (Average) you are told to go to Nipton to look for the suits. Since Boxcars is the only remaining living resident, you must speak to him. You are directed to a cave north of Nipton called hidden supply cave to find the radiation suit package (Average lock on the door). After you return the suits to the mercenaries, you must raid Searchlight police station to look for NCR materials. The parts needed are:
 * One NCR 9mm submachine gun: Located in the right hand jail cell.
 * One NCR 10mm pistol: On the desk located in the northwest corner of the office.
 * Two NCR computer parts: In the office. In both the second and fifth desks from the left in the semi-circle of desks in the center of the office.
 * Three NCR frag grenade: On the bottom, middle shelf on the east wall of the storage room.
 * One NCR grenade rifle: On the stack of boxes next to the aforementioned shelves along the east wall of the storage room.
 * Two NCR radio parts: In the office. In the third desk from the left in the semi-circle of 3 desks in the corner of the office. The second radio parts are found in the leftmost desk in the cluster of three desks in the northeast corner of the room.

After obtaining all of these parts and returning them to Logan, you must travel to the heavily irradiated Searchlight fire station, where you will encounter a radscorpion queen upon entry. After defeating her, you then travel to the upper level, where you must look for more NCR parts.
 * Knock-Knock, a unique fire axe, can be located in the restroom on the left, in the firehall upstairs; second stall behind a skeleton to the left of toilet. Move the skeleton to find the named axe.
 * A Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap is located on the back table in the kitchen.

The parts in upper floor of the fire station are:
 * One NCR 9mm submachine gun: Located on the shelves in the room with the Chief Fire Officer terminal.
 * Two NCR frag grenade: On the shelves in the room with the Chief Fire Officer terminal. Same room as the 9mm submachine gun.
 * Two NCR radio parts: On top of a small table in the room with the beds.
 * Four NCR computer parts: Split between two duffle bags in the room with the beds.
 * One NCR 10mm pistol: On top of a table in the kitchen.

After again finding as many supplies as you can find, Logan will thank you and then attempt to kill you as a reward. If you succeed in killing Logan and his partners, you may take all the weapons you found in their normal form. Afterwards, you may attempt hacking into the fire chief's personal computer in his office, which will give you some XP and a brief note.

Behind the scenes
The quest name is based on the mythological concept of the "Wheel of Fortune," or Rota Fortunae. The basic concept is that the spinning of the wheel would lead to great misfortune or great success.

Bugs

 * Sometimes Logan will keep telling you that there have to be more NCR parts in the police station even though you collected everything.
 * To complete this quest, just kill Logan and all NCR items will be removed from your inventory, marking Wheel of Fortune completed.
 * If you kill Logan you can take the NCR radio and NCR computer parts. These are marked as quest items and will not leave the players inventory.
 * Logan and his cronies can be killed in fire station and quest will be completed.
 * Exploring the Hidden Supply Cave just outside Nipton prior to this quest can cause the dialog option relating to it to become unavailable when speaking to Boxcars, thus preventing the quest from progressing. Walking outside and coming back in can fix this.
 * Sometimes the footlocker supposedly containing the radiation suit package is inaccessible, leaving the radiation suit package impossible to obtain. This can be fixed by reloading the autosave.
 * To advance the quest to the proper phase, where the footlocker containing the "radiation suit package" spawns, you can use the console ('~' key to open the console) and type:.
 * If Boxcars is bugged and will not provide the radiation suit dialog you can try resetting the Booted quest with the console command.
 * In some cases, the NCR 9mm submachine gun or the NCR grenade launcher will not be where it is supposed to be. In this case, Logan will persist in telling you there must be more NCR equipment. Nothing can induce him to move on to the fire station, so the quest must be abandoned. A suggested solution is to throw a plasma grenade into the room where the grenade launcher should be, and the resulting blast will make it appear.
 * If the player has already given Boxcars the maximum number of Med-X prior to this quest the player is only given the goodbye option when talking to him resulting in the quest being bugged and cannot be completed.
 * If you go to Logan and tell him that you have collected everything before actually collecting all NCR branded weapons, he becomes hostile towards you. The remaining NCR weapons will become quest items in the Misc. section, and cannot be used.
 * If you speak to Boxcars, the dialogue box will open but there will be no dialogue option to find the supply cave.
 * When having ED-E and Arcade Gannon as an active companion and Boone in the Lucky 38 Casino, Boone will sometimes randomly appear asking if "its time" when entering the NCR Storage room.
 * While the team is following you, use the Big Mountain Transportalponder! and Logan and the prospectors will be teleported onto the sink's balcony.
