Fallout: New Vegas Walkthrough -> Primm
You'll find yourself in an area cordoned off by NCR troops. Head south and look for Lieutenant Hayes's tent. Talk to him. He'll tell you about what's happening in Primm. Exit the tent and head west. You'll see a bridge you need to cross to enter the town. Be careful, it's mined.
Bandits roam the streets of the town; deal with them, then enter Vicky's building and talk to Johnson Nash. He'll tell you about your package and give you some more information. He'll tell you that Deputy Beagle has more information about "the man in the checkered suit." However, he's currently being held hostage at the Casino. You'll have to pay the Casino a visit.
Once inside, you'll find it overrun with criminals, well-equipped and armed. There are two options here: you can eliminate them by luring them out one by one in VATS mode, or if you've leveled up your hacking and have lockpicks, you can hack the door near the entrance and go into the kitchen. You'll find Beagle there. This way, you'll have fewer loot. You can try to persuade Beagle to help you clear the building, but it won't do much: he dies quickly and isn't a very good shot. It's best to let him go and clear the building alone.
When you reach the large room with the criminal leader, don't rush in headlong; it's also easier to lure out the enemies one by one.
After clearing the casino, return to Vicky. You'll find Beagle in the corner, and you can ask him about the man who shot you. You can also take his quest to find a new sheriff for Primm. This isn't a story quest. Sell everything you don't need and you're good to go. I don't recommend trusting the girl you meet near Nipton—Jacqueline. At the first opportunity, she'll retaliate with a bullet in the back.
Follow the road southeast. You'll have to pass through the town of Nipton , where you'll be attacked by members of the Powder Gang and the Jackal Gang. You'll also encounter giant ants.
A little something: The casino has a robot guide who can tell you the story of the criminal duo Vicky and Vance, specifically about Vance's submachine gun. We approach the display case, examine it, and, finding a missing weapon, report this to the robotron. With advanced science, we discover that the robot was reprogrammed, and the submachine gun was stolen by a modern couple of followers of their cause. They can be found in a hut approximately in this area.
In the Express office lies the ED-E robot eye, which can be repaired and made into a companion (science 55 and repair 65, or instead of repair, 2 sensors and 2 conductors, electronic scrap).
