Caesar's Favor

Caesar's Favor is a repeatable side quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough

 * 1) Receive notification from a disguised Frumentarius.
 * 2) Travel to cache location near Cottonwood Cove.
 * 3) Open any of the metal boxes.

Detailed walkthrough

 * If the player has gained a positive reputation with Caesar's Legion, they will subsequently be approached by a disguised Frumentarius. He will state that Caesar has noted their loyalty, and has allowed them to use a Legion supply cache which is periodically replenished by Legion members. He then departs.
 * The player is given a quest marker which leads to the cache, located on a rock ledge south of the Sniper's Nest overlooking Cottonwood Cove. The quest is completed once the player has opened any one of the metal boxes located on the ledge.
 * This is a recurring quest, and will re-appear approximately every three days in the form of a new quest marker guiding the player to the cache. This will continue as long as the player's reputation with Caesar's Legion is primarily positive.

Cache contents
A maximum of ten boxes can appear on the ledge, split into two groups:
 * Five boxes are located on the west side of the ledge. These boxes are labeled "Legion Dropbox" and contain Legion Denarii totaling 235 in count between the five boxes. All five boxes will always be present.
 * Up to five additional boxes, labeled "Legion Supply Cache", may be located on the east side of the ledge overlooking Cottonwood Cove. At least one of these boxes will be present. The number of boxes depends on how well-liked the Courier is by Caesar's Legion; all five will appear with an "idolized" reputation. Loot in each box is randomized but can include any of the following, with more valuable items appearing at higher reputation levels (liked or idolized):
 * Various types and amounts of ammunition and healing items.
 * Doctor's bags (up to 15 reported found in one box).
 * Various armor types, including: combat armor, recon armor, advanced radiation suits, leather armor and metal armor.
 * Flamer fuel, energy cells and microfusion cells in amounts often surpassing 1000.
 * Stealth Boys in random quantities (up to 95 reported).

Bugs

 * This quest cannot be obtained if the player has previously received the Caesar's Hire quest. Additionally, Caesar's Hire will not recur while the player has a positive reputation, despite this quest not being obtainable.
 * It is possible to permanently disable this quest if the player fast-travels away from the Disguised Frumentarius as he is approaching, or if he is killed.
 * After two uses of the drop boxes the quest stopped resetting. Unknown cause. Waited more than 3 days without a reset and maintaining a Liked or better reputation with the Legion.
 * The drop boxes continue to be restocked every 3 days even though vilified by Legion. (Quest marker doesn't appear.)
