Joining Raiders

The northern Raiders base, near Broken Hills, where you can get all the levels of the profession: Gunsmith (Small Guns).

The southern Raiders outpost, near NCR. This is the first base that you will see, before you complete the farmer's quest.

To join Raiders faction, you need at least 120 reputation points in Slaver's Guild. You can get the points for example by doing Bring Little Jesus Mordino's briefcase to Metzger quest or by becoming a slaver and selling slaves.

First Steps

After you have gained at least 120 reputation with the Slavers' Guild, ask Metzger in the Den about a job, that does not involve slaving (Raiders).

• Metzger will send you to a bar called "The Hole", left of Metzger's building.
• Find a guy named Stokes there. You must have reputation with the raiders no worse than -190, to talk to him. After a long conversation, he will send you to the Raiders' base (a new location on the map, near NCR). Go there.

The Farmer's Quest

You will find Jim Raynes in the base. Ask him about joining the Raiders and he will tell you to get rid of a farmer, Cooper, living in peace with his family on their farm. You are to go to that farm and kill that man, but you will have an option to let him live, and either way you do not need to hurt anybody else to complete this quest. Killing his child will make you a childkiller.

• After reporting it, you will be able to see another Raider base - near Broken Hills.

After joining, revisit Stokes (unless you opted to let the man live - then you might want to avoid Stokes for a while). He will have some stuff for you. Amount of stuff might depend on your Charisma.
