You have the option to decide the fate of Goodsprings. This post is part of the series: Fallout: New Vegas Walkthrough - Goodsprings Quests It’s your choice and it’s just an unmarked quest.

If you want, you can also just kill him with no penalties now that youv’e figured out what he was up to. If not, you can try going back down to him. The has a good chance of triggering his script correctly. Note that if you’re having trouble actually wrapping this up, you can try sleeping on the bed or just waiting for a bit. Seach his body to at least get a gun and some random loot out of it. He’s not wearing any armor to speak of, so just bring him down. He’ll reveal his very pathetic plot and then draw a pistol. If the quest worked correctly, Barton should come running up the slope toward you. You can also loot the body here (I believe it counts as a Wild Wasteland trigger too, so the body will be different depending on your choice).īarton Thorn’s Girl - Quick Loot and Notes Watch out for the bear traps that are set around the refrigerator and then get your loot from it and the ammo box. This is apparently their stash, but no women are here, alive or dead. Once they’re dead, walk all the way up to the pile of skeletons and the partially eaten body. Keep walking and run into the group of geckos guarding a nest at the back of the slope.

There should just be a few at a time as you approach the first section of the ridge with a lookout point. You’ll want a way to take out the group quickly, not snipe them from afar. Slow firing rifles might not work well, just because they come in groups of several weak geckos. If you have a shotgun or a pistol, you’ll be fine. I really can’t gauge the difficulty too well. I actually missed this on the first pass through, so I was doing this at level 18 with Oh, Baby. There are young gecko hunters and a few normal geckos along the path. Well, just like he says, you can start the search by walking up the path on the left side of the broken radio tower behind you. He usually walks around in a small area by the main water source, and he should run up to you if you get close enough. You can also just look around the road for a camp. If you get on the ridge above it, you’ll have a good vantage point for looking for Barton. It’s just outside of town and should actually be a separate map marker. You can get this quest by finding Barton Thorn at the Goodsprings Water Source.
