Jail Powder Bandits

[Super Elitist Clan Member]

FNV Newbie here,

i started to play FNV and did the tutorial, where i killed the powder bandits cause Cobb didn´t let me join the powder bandits. Now i am at the point where Primm needs a new Sheriff. So i decided to go to the RNC jail. I wear a powder bandit armor but they still attack me. I did a mission before in Nipton where i can help to escape some powder bandits from the Legion. My reputation in the RNC jail is neutral and i have the powder bandid armor but when i come to Dawes he still attacks me.

What exactly is your question? You have to clear out all the power gangers in the jail except for meyers(who will remain neutral despite your low rep with the poweder gangers) and speak with him to be the sheriff to complete the quest.

Yeah but i want not to kill all bandits, i just want to do some quests for them. I dont want them to attack me So i wonder why they attack me even when i have neutral reputation and wear their armor.

You need to kill the gate guard , best if silently and undetected. Only he will attack you if you do so , the others will leave you alone as long as you wear that armor and dont commit any other crimes towards their faction. Not sure but i believe he will attack you anyways as long as you dont have positive relations with them.

As far as I know the only way to do quests for the Powder Gangers is to not do the quests in Goodsprings (the ones that are against them). If you want to side with the Powder Gangers, if I remember right, you can go straight to the jail and talk with some people there. The Powder Gangers won't be aggro'd against you unless you've killed some of them already or done quests against them.

If you've talked to the guy in Goodsprings who's trying to escape them (the one who's starting the "war" between Goodsprings and them), then someone from the Powder Gangers shows up near a house across from the saloon, you can talk to him and say something like "I want to join the Powder Gangers" and it works out where you can do quests for them.

But I haven't yet found a way to side with both the Powder Gangers and Goodsprings. Might be something on the wiki about it (not on Steam, but if you Google "Fallout New Vegas wiki" you will find it)

If you aren't detected when fighting the Powder Gangers at Goodsprings, your reputation with them will only drop down to shunned and you can do their quests at the prison.

Okay thank you all

If you killed the powder gangers in Goodsprings, they will be hostile. Period. Wearing faction armour only deceives the random spawns, the guy at the door, the bodyguards in the two barracks, and the entire upper floor of the administration building will see through it and attack you. This is intended.

You cannot find peace between GS and PG. PG want to take over the town from the first place and it just coincidence when the caravan guy run to hide.

You must choose between 2. Or just leave it be for now. The quest will remain incomplete.

Warning, PG is a small faction that not give any remarkable profit in the entire gameplay. And you may suffer from NCR's hostile and Legion's bad rep.

Imo, stay in not a bad term with them so you do their quests until you get a quest to go to the town call Primm. After that, you can stay with PG to war against ncr or join ncr's attack mission. After that, side with GS in the previous quest.
