How do I get NCR fame early on?

[Usernamehere]

I need to get the safehouse in Camp McCarran, because my current "house" is a dumpster in Goodsprings that I've been dumping all my stuff in.

I cleared all the Deathclaws in Quarry Junction, because I found a forum post where someone said this:

"I find the best way to get NCR rep is to clear quarry junction. I jumped from accepted to idolized by doing that."

So I did the quest and defeated all the Deathclaws, turned in the quest, received NCR fame, and it seems my rep is still just "Accepted."

Then enjoy :D

I'll keep my big yap shut.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

The question still remains, I need to pick up NCR fame to get to Liked, so I can move to the NCR safehouse and live there. Any good quests that don't give me Infamy with other factions? (Except the Powder Gangers which already hate me from the gunfight at Goodsprings?)

Hate to say this but If you want in with the NCR you HAVE to piss of the legion. NV is a complitly different beast than FO4 when it comes to factions. Legion and NCR want each other dead. NCR resints Mr.House cause of the raw deal they got from him. Legion Hate's Mr.House cause he's the one truely keeping them from sacking the Mojave. Not trying to spole like a 10 year old game but no mater how you play one or more factions are going to be pissed at you in the final quest of NV. Thats why I always go Indapindent/Yes Man.

Yeah, go to McCarran.

It's where the majority of the fighting they engage in is taking place, and there's plenty of both easy and hard ways to farm NCR rep.

I'm doing the quest Return to Sender for NCR fame, the one where you have to update the radio codes...

I just fought through five packs of Cazadors, on my way to Ranger Station Foxtrot.

Send help....

What else is there besides the bounty quest on three Fiends characters? I already did that one.

While we're at it, guys, any good ways to get Fame with the Legion without making the NCR mad? I'm going to basically play a friends-with-everyone run for my first time, even if it means I have to freeze main storyline progression and never finish the game. (Criminal organizations such as the Powder Gangers though don't count, because screw those guys.)

Did it in Fallout 4, the Minutemen, Railroad, Brotherhood of Steel, and Institute all like me, and I have access to the benefits of all four. Obviously, (spoilers,) the Institute doesn't reign over all, nor is it a smoking crater, and bonus points, Father is still alive and is pretty much immortal as long as Nuclear Family isn't done!

In the Fallout 4 expansion Far Harbor, I chose the peaceful ending between all factions. I won't go into more detail for reasons of spoilers.

Did it in Skyrim, by just opting out of finishing either Civil War questline. Without getting into the complicated politics of the Skyrim Civil War, I think that in the big picture, both the Empire and the Stormcloaks have their goods and bads and the Dominion is the real enemy that must be crushed.

Did it in Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, (An obscure open world modern warfare game from 2008,) I was able to make every faction (Except the antagonists who are hostile indefinitely anyway,) like me. It's useful to have access to both Chinese and American hardware. I just simply stopped playing as soon as both factions were introduced, and haven't completed the game. (It's just as well, that game is the worst Playstation port in existence, and that's not because of crashing...)

The absolute easiest way to get NCR fame is to go to Cottonwood Cove and kill the Legion there. Killing random Legion members, especially if you activated the Forlorn Hope side-quest that asks you to get their ears, can earn you massive fame fast.

To get Legion fame without angering the NCR, bump up sneaking and steal NCR dog tags from the Mojave Outpost personnel. They respawn it in their inventory every 3 in-game days. Then just give them to the Legion at Cottonwood. 20-30 is usually enough for idolised.
Getting the simple quest at Nipton and running back to the outpost to complete it is also a nice early fame bonus.

What exactly do you mean by early on? If you're clearing out Quarry Junction already you should at least be in the mid to late game. Well in any case NCR rep is some of the easiest to come by, just go around putting out their fires at their various settlments.

- Fix Helios One and divert power to the Strip and McCarran
- Do Camp Forlorn Hope quests
- Turn in Legion ears at Forlorn Hope
- Kill the ghoul troopers at camp Search Light and bring back their tags
- Help the misfits at camp Golf
- Clear the trail for Ranger Jackson at Mojave Outpost
- Tell Ghost the fate of Novac
- Help the cook at camp McCarran
- Interrogate the Legion prisoner at McCarran
- Give aid to the garrison at Bitter Springs

Those are just a few ways, but you should easily get to idolized by doing at least a few of those things.

If you're going to go this method to get Legion rep you get the best dog tag reputation ratio by asking for food for 2 dog tags.

Go to Primm. Get quest to appoint new sheriff. Kill every Powder Ganger in the prison. Actually just kill every Powder Ganger you see because they are criminals and don't deserve to live in post-apocalyptic games. Appoint NCR dude as new Sheriff...Now your NCR fame should be really high.

[Akasaki]

Well, do the quest to support NCR along the road is enough imo.

Help NCR clear the prison.
Do the quest for Mojave Outpost.
Help the ranger in Novac.
Do Boone's quest.
Medical supplies quest in the Camp Hope.
Train the misfit in camp golf.
Etc.

If you don't want to drop the rep, you can do the silent sneak kill to hunt the legion's ear or NCR dogtag.

You can try to stay in good terms with many factions til the late game. Until the point that you need to choose the end game quest set. You may get hate by the opposite factions because they upset by not having you on their side. Can't help lol.

I think this may be an optimal way to go, at least for the path I take (I tend to go to some of these camps quite late with my existing mods/housing.) I usually go with the robot and went this route for a change and my fame jump to idolized was much faster than usual.

I already did this, without getting the sheriff guy from the Correctional Facility.

That's the thing, I think this is the key to the fame payoff there. I'm usually not idolized at this point and now I am - he's the only difference in the equation from my prior playthroughs as far as NCR goes. In fact I didn't direct power to McCarran at Helios (which I usually do), so either that doesn't affect much or it also compensated for that choice.

All I've done - in their favor -- is Nipton (Mojave Outpost)/McCarran (all quests)/Primm/Nelson (no quest/saved prisoners) = Idolized.

I generally use the follower's safehouse as a house.

its really easy to get their rep up to the point where you get their safe house. just donate a bunch of rad away to them, which they sell to you. and maybe do some quests around the strip.

easy safehouse.

[Operation Iraqi Freikorps]

An easy safe houses is the room in novac or the suite at the Tops.
