Wheel of Fortune

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Location
This quest is given by the prospector inside the NCR Storage Room at Camp Searchlight. The storage room is in the church in the south-west of the town. You must hack the Average level computer and tell Logan where the suits are to get the quest.

Quick Walkthrough
You must find some radiation suits in Nipton and return so Logan and his crew can recover abandoned NCR supplies in Camp Searchlight.

Alternatively if you have the bug where you've already been to the cave and you can't get the radiation suits, from here you can just kill Logan and his crew, take the keys for the other buildings and obtain the items.


 * It doesn't matter if you have already looted the cave, an item called "Radiation Suit Package" will appear in one of the foot lockers.

Detailed Walkthrough
A group of Mercenaries inside the NCR Storage Room are looking for Radiation Suits. After hacking the computer 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 a police station to look for NCR materials. The parts needed are:
 * NCR 9mm Submachine Gun: Located in the right hand jail cell.
 * NCR 10mm Pistol: On the desk located in the northwest corner of the office.
 * 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. Also in the office in the desk by the door that leads to the jail cells.
 * NCR Frag Grenade: On the bottom, middle shelf on the east wall of the storage room.
 * NCR Grenade Rifle: On the stack of boxes next to the aforementioned shelves along the east wall of the storage room.
 * 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 middle 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 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 first washroom on the right, in the firehall upstairs; first stall behind a skeleton. Move the skeleton to find the named axe.

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, you may take all the weapons you found in their normal form.

Trivia
The terminal in the upstairs office of the Fire Station gives further insight into the history of Camp Searchlight. The terminal entry mentions the arrival of 2 trucks carrying radioactive waste that can be found in the Fire Station garage. It was these trucks that the Legion used to flood the camp with radiation and turn several stationed NCR troopers into feral ghouls - however it also mentions a 3rd truck of radioactive barrels that left Camp Searchlight for Cottonwood Cove.

This 3rd truck appears to be the same one that can be seen hanging off the edge of the cliff at Cottonwood Overlook. Unfortunately for the Legion, it can be seen as poetic justice as in the quest Eye for an Eye the Courier has the option to release the barrels of deadly radiation from the crashed truck into Cottonwood Cove and kill all the stationed Legion troops.

Bugs

 * Sometimes Logan will keep telling you that there have to be more NCR parts in the police station even though you collected everything.
 * 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.
 * Hacking the computer before Logan asks you to do so prevents the quest from being given.
 * It's possible that the Radiation Suit dialog option from Boxcars isn't available, even without going to Hidden Supply Cave first.
 * 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 . Be sure to give him 5 Med-X and the Radiation Suit dialogue should open up.
 * Though the above will work, it might be more optimal to instead use the command . This will enable the dialog option without resetting the "Booted" variables. After speaking with Boxcars and learning about the cave, you can and proceed on your merry way.
 * Sometimes when you enter the hidden supply cave the chest holding the radiation suit package will not let you open it. DO NOT LEAVE THE CAVE or it will memorize this. Simply reload from a prior save.
 * 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.
 * Sometimes,even if you have collected all the NCR items,Logan will continue to say that there has to be more items,even when there aren't.
 * In some cases you will be able to open up the chest after leaving and re-entering the cave.
 * Killing or interacting with Boxcars and exhausting his dialog options, prior to receiving the Wheel of Fortune quest, can cause the keys to disappear from Logan's inventory.
 * Possible work-around
 * obtain the quest from Logan
 * visit Boxcars, if he's still alive
 * visit the Hidden Supply Cave
 * return to Logan and enter dialog with him, indicating you've found the location of the supplies
 * exit dialog and sneak-attack him without being seen by the other prospectors; the keys to the fire hall and police station appear in his inventory
 * It is possible to kill Logan in plain view of the two prospectors and have them not become hostile.
 * While accompanying Logan and the prospectors to the Police Station we encountered a giant radscorpion. During the ensuing fight Logan, et al turned hostile (possibly hit by a stray round?) and were killed by my companions.  (I put my gun away to try to stop it but was too late.)  The quest was marked as complete and XP given.  The Firehouse key was on Logan as I already had the Police Station key.  During the subsequent search of the Police station no quest related items were found inside.  These should've been there without the "NCR" marker on them.
 * Somehow the quest might not activate after speaking with Logan, even if he gave you the orders, talk with him again about the locations of the radiation suits and end up with "I'll check it out", the quest will be triggered.
