How to give Primm the protection it deserves

Do you hate that if you pick Primm Slim to be sheriff crooks often times get away unharmed due to Slim being so slow ?

Do you hate how if you pick Meyers to be Sheriff possible innocents sometimes turn up dead with little to no evidence due to his shoot first and ask questions later outlook on crime ?

Follow this guide and you can easily have the both as sheriff at the same time.

Both Meyers and Slim are both possible takers of the position at the end of the quest "My Kind of Town" in which the previous sheriff and his wife were killed. Conventionally the quest only allows one entity to assume the role of law enforcement of Primm but there is a work around to technically give the role to both Meyers and Primm Slim.

30 Speech
or
200 caps

After starting the question and saving Deputy Beagle you'll want to continue the quest in favor of Meyers. That means heading to the NCRCF Prison and speak with Meyers. He will leave the prison and make his way over to Primm.

Head to the Mojave Outpost to get his pardon from the NCR and speak with Major Knight and ether complete the speech check or pay the 200 caps to officially pardon Meyer's of any crimes.

Now when you travel back to Primm instead of speaking immediately with Meyers head inside the Vicky and Vance casino and speak with Primm Slim and activate his sheriff protocols.

And there you have it !


Slim will be the canon Sheriff and will be on the slide at the end of the game. But you'll notice that Meyers sticks around and doesn't disappear or despawn. So now you've got Meyers watching the front of Primm and Slim around back both watching and protecting Primm from any criminals or outlaws trying to start trouble in town. And since Meyer's was already pardoned an exchange for being sheriff for Primm, I reason it that the deal with the NCR still went through. So now you have the trio of Primm Slim, Meyers, and Beagle, all protecting the town.

What's great about this is that now you've got the good intention, but slightly incompetent robot, the reckless ask questions later ex-con at the same time ! And this is really cool if you didn't like ether of the two's original end slides, with the crooks getting away or possible innocents turning up dead. Because now you have a law enforcement team that won't kill innocents, but also won't let the preps get away.
