A Team of Moronic Mercenaries

A Team of Moronic Mercenaries is an unmarked quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough

 * 1) Visit Primm at least 3 days after it has been cleared
 * 2) Dispatch the mercenaries.
 * 3) Attack them.
 * 4) Pay 100 caps (or 50 depending on the player's funds).
 * 5) Convince the mercenaries to leave with a Speech skill of 30.
 * 6) Convince them to leave by choosing these dialogue options (no skill or SPECIAL checks):
 * 7) Are you deserters?
 * 8) I guess I can understand that.
 * 9) Why not just turn yourselves in?
 * 10) I imagine the NCR doesn't deal with deserters kindly.
 * 11) It would be safer to run and find someplace to hide.

Detailed walkthrough
Once the player has completed the quest My Kind of Town, they must then travel to a destination other than Primm, e.g. Goodsprings. Once arrived the player must wait at least 3 days, and then return to Primm. On arrival in Primm, visit the Vikki and Vance casino, where after roughly 10 seconds the player will be approached by Layla and her band of Thugs (NCR deserters), who heard Primm was ripe for the picking. After passing a speech check, the deserters will leave, or (if the player does not have a high enough Speech) 100 caps is also acceptable (50 if the player does not have enough). However, the player can also kill Layla (and the rest of the deserters) and consequently loot their bodies. After this event, the player should return again to Primm after at least another 3 days. The Vikki and Vance casino now operates normally and the cashier can be approached.
