Vital equipment daily is BS

[Destroy the meat bags (6/6)]

I want to use the dialogue option that gets you raider rep but every time I teleport to the raider they are immediately owned by a ghoul or something. Every single time. Whats the best way to avoid this so I can actually talk to the guy?

Vital equipment - is a daily quest in Foundation and you don't need to talk to anyone except the Ward. Find and bring "tool" that is all. I don't get what exactly the problem with raider? You can't kill it?

You don't get anything better for talking to him. Dead or alive, you get the piece of equipment off his body if dead.

The only quest where it can matter if you talk to anyone is the raider's quest 'retirement plan' (or something like that) where you have to deal with the deserter. If you talk to the two hunters first, you can convince them to give you 100 caps each; if you talk to the target first he can be convinced to give you 25 caps. And then you can leave them alone or kill them as you choose, and still turn in the quest for the quest reward. However, sometimes some or even all of them get themselves killed before you can talk to them and you lose out on the extra caps. No big deal, really, and it doesn't always go down like that.

The guy should still have the item on him even if someone or something else kills him. He still shows up on the tracker. There is some optional dialogue if you can talk to him but not required or really needed.

According to the wiki:

If the equipment is in the hands of a raider, a SPECIAL check in conversation (provided the raider is non-hostile) will prompt the raider to keep the equipment in return for paying the Vault Dwellers off to keep quiet on the matter, earning reputation with the raiders in exchange for losing some with the settlers. Alternatively, the Vault Dwellers can kill them in order to recover the equipment, which will allow for a similar result as to if it was recovered from a Blood Eagle.

So yeah, there can be talking involved. Which is kind of hard to do when the raider is dead. It is a Foundation quest,but can give either Settlers or Raider reputation depending on how it is handled. And the OP wants the Raider reputation outcome.

You just have to be lucky or act fast if there are other enemies around that could kill the raider.

Lol man! I promise as soon as ward hands me the quest I fast travel to the guy just to see him get knocked out in one hit by whatever. I was able to get it done one time telling him to keep the equipment and put in a good word for me with the raiders and every time since then the guy just dies lol

The Wasteland is harsh, not every outcome is a 'happy ending'.

What, you thought you were playing a game or something? Peshaw! /s
