Don't Make a Beggar of Me

Don't Make a Beggar of Me is a side quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough

 * Travel to the Great Khan Encampment and speak to Melissa to begin the quest. You must be in good standing with the Great Khans or she will refuse to allow you to help her. Melissa may also be found at Quarry Junction.
 * Travel to Sloan and search Chomps Lewis' office for the suitcase.
 * Speak to Chomps and then travel to Primm to speak with Tyrone.
 * Obtain the chems from Tyrone.
 * Return to Melissa to complete the quest or inform Lieutenant Hayes about Tyrone's smuggling to complete the quest.

Detailed walkthrough

 * Travel to the Great Khan Encampment and inquire about why Melissa is there to begin the quest. If you have bad reputation with the Great Khans she will refuse your offer of help. It is possible that Melissa may also be found in Quarry Junction.


 * Travel to Sloan and enter the Mining Office. Walk up the stairs and examine the empty suitcase to the left of the desk.


 * Go outside and speak with Chomps Lewis and inquire about the empty suitcase to find out about Tyrone. If Lewis is killed prior to this quest, the marker will lead to his body. There you can find a letter to Tyrone. After reading it, this step is completed.


 * Travel to Primm and find Tyrone at the NCR camp in the tent next to Lieutenant Hayes' tent.


 * When you question him about the chems, he explains that his superiors are getting suspicious and that the business is riskier.  He will ask for an additional 300 caps which can be paid to obtain the chems.
 * The chemicals can be obtained outright with no penalties with any of the following:
 * Strength of 7
 * Speech of 40
 * Black Widow Perk
 * Barter of 35
 * Selecting aggressive dialog.
 * You can just shoot Tyrone and take the chems, but that will result in NCR infamy and negative karma.


 * Once the chems have been obtained return to the Great Khan Encampment and give the chems to Melissa.


 * (Optional) You can inform Lieutenant Hayes in his tent about Tyrone's smuggling. If done, Hayes will take the chems and inquire if anyone else was involved.  Chomps Lewis can be ratted out or Hayes can be told nobody else was involved.  After retaking the NCRCF from the Powder Gangers, Lt. Hayes will have been relocated to Camp Forlorn Hope, where he will stand by the campfire opposite the supply shack.

Rewards

 * Giving the chems to Melissa earns fame with the Great Khans, 100XP, 150 caps, and some chems.


 * Helping Lieutenant Hayes earns fame with the NCR, increased Karma, and 100XP.


 * Returning to Melissa, after informing Hayes about the smuggling, and telling her you turned in Tyrone results in her and the two Khans attacking.


 * Returning to Melissa, after informing Hayes about the smuggling results in her stating that she is returning to Red Rock Canyon; she will then disappear completely (fixed in patch 1.2). No actual reward is given. Also, if you inform her that you turned Tyrone in, she will become hostile as will the other two Khans.

Behind the scenes

 * Don't Make a Beggar of Me is the name of a song written by Al Sherman and arranged by Axel Stordahl. It was recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1953 but was unreleased until late 2000 when Sinatra's 1962 album Point of No Return was re-released on CD. Don't Make a Beggar of Me was one of the bonus tracks on this CD.
