If the prior options fail, the merchant can be killed without Karma penalty. The bounty hunter may attack even after he is convinced to leave, even if one is not dressed as a Powder Ganger. One can try to shake him down for a "toll" (30 Speech required). With an Intelligence of 6 or Speech skill of 30, one can convince him to reveal that he is actually a bounty hunter by pointing out that he lacks a pack brahmin to carry supplies and protection. The second task is to "deal with" a suspicious traveling merchant residing at Jean Sky Diving. after he is dealt with, return to Eddie and let him know Chavez is handled to gain Powder Gangers fame +1. Killing him or his crew after convincing him to move on also does not cause any reputation loss with the Powder Gangers. Killing him (and/or the other Powder Gangers with him) will not cause any reputation loss with the Powder Gangers, and his "crew" may not turn hostile if Chavez is killed in front of them. Talking to him without being able to pass the speech skill will result in combat. He can either be convinced to "move on" with 30 Speech skill or killed. He is located at Powder Ganger camp south, which is just south of the prison. The first task is to "take care" of a Powder Ganger named Chavez, who Eddie believes is setting up his own crew without permission. It is also possible to acquire Powder Gang simple outfit or any other Powder Gangers outfits (also including Powder Gang guard armor) to disguise oneself and infiltrate the camp, then take out everybody besides Eddie in the Administration Building with a silenced weapon.

A Stealth Boy will be required each time the player character goes back to talk to Eddie until the quest ends with the NCR confrontation. Stand up and immediately talk to Eddie and the quest can be initiated. Completing the Nipton quest, Booted or the Vault 19 quest, Why Can't We Be Friends? may provide a sufficient boost to one's faction reputation, provided one is not "Vilified." If the Powder Gangers are hostile still, one can talk to Eddie by using a Stealth Boy outside the entrance and sneaking all the way to Eddie (this however might not work). If the Courier has acquired a "shunned" reputation with the Powder Gangers by completing the Ghost Town Gunfight, it will still be possible to talk to Eddie in order to receive this quest but assaulting anyone in the prison or gaining another level of infamy will turn the Powder Gangers hostile upon entering.Talking to him and asking how one can help out is all that is required to start this quest. He is the man sitting behind the desk on the second floor, surrounded by guards. This quest is given by Eddie at the NCR Correctional Facility in the administration building. Powder Gangers fame, 200 XP, 100 caps, 1 Mentats, 1 Psycho, 1 Buffout Reward: Various weapons, armor, ammunition and items from dead Powder Gangers and NCR troopers
