Ted Strayer

Ted Strayer is a laid-back dude that lives in Rivet City with Father Clifford. He doesn't seem to have any significant purpose in the city, and he is addicted to Chems. His favorite Chem seems to be Psycho. He lives off the money his father earned while doing a job for Allistair Tenpenny.

 * You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head
 * He doesn't necessarily need to be killed for you to receive Ted Strayer's Special Key. You can buy it from him for 25 caps, or, if you have 6 or more Strength or the Toughness perk, you can intimidate him into giving you all of his stuff, including his bottlecaps and his key. It is also possible to stealthily kill Ted by giving him Psycho for free so that he will overdose. If you decide to kill him, make sure to do it not long before you take up the quest, as his body can disappear before you get a chance to remove the key.  Unfortunately, there is no known way to counteract this on the 360 or PS3 versions of the game. PC gamers can bring up the console (~) and type player.additem 0002B8DA 1 to recieve Ted Strayer's Special Key.


 * ''I successfully assassinated Ted whilst he was asleep in the Rivet City common room. Mei Wong was lurking outside the dormitory door but whilst using a Stealth Boy I mezzed Mei and got her to go away. Then, when I was alone, I used the Silenced 10mm Pistol to kill Ted. Rivet City Security were on the scene quickly but I remained invisible and hid in the corner until I could make a clean getaway. Once outside the common room I allowed the stealth boy to wear off with no bad reactions at all from the inhabitants of the city.


 * You can successfully assassinate Ted by mezzing him. Rivet city will then turns hostile towards him and will enable you to kill him without anybody turning hostile on you.
