Run Goodsprings Run

Run Goodsprings Run is a side quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
Joe Cobb, leader of a small band of Powder Gangers, recruits the Courier to kill Ringo and the impromptu Goodsprings militia.

Detailed walkthrough

 * Find Joe Cobb leaning up against a small house at the southeastern edge of Goodsprings. He will ask the player to kill Ringo, a Crimson Caravan merchant who has fled to Goodsprings to escape the Powder Gangers.
 * Follow the marker to the Goodsprings gas station and kill Ringo, then return to Joe.
 * Joe will tell the player to get supplies from Doc Mitchell or Chet.
 * Chet can be convinced to supply the Powder Gangers with leather armor with a successful Speech or Barter skill of 25.
 * Doc Mitchell can be lied to, or convinced with a Medicine skill check of 25 to provide aid for a "hurt traveler".
 * If lacking in the appropriate skills, the player can always buy the supplies, pickpocket the doctor, or simply kill the doctor and take the supplies.
 * Head over to Joe Cobb and give him the supplies, and help the Powder Gangers invade Goodsprings. Most NPCs in town will become hostile, but the player will receive assistance from several Powder Gangers.
 * Once the residents of Goodsprings are dead, the player can talk to Joe and claim the reward.

Behind the Scenes

 * The title of the mission could be a reference to a line said in the 1994 film Forrest Gump.

Bugs

 * Occasionally, after the final battle if you help Goodsprings, some NPCs will freeze in place and be unresponsive. This can be fixed by punching them and then immedietly quit fighting.
 * When you kill Ringo and tell Joe, he will ask you to get supplies from Chet, and Doc Mitchell. Before you get supplies you can kill Joe and fail the quest, but Chet will still be locked in the 'Help the Powder Gangers' dialog speech, and you can get infinite experience, leather armor, 9mm rounds, and Powder Ganger fame.
