Fallout: New Vegas Hints
What evidence will Swank accept?
1 of 8: Note that each piece of evidence will allow you to skip one Speech check. You should pass all the Speech checks you can, then go get however many pieces of evidence you need to skip the rest.
2 of 8: One bit of evidence is the info you got from Manny Vargas (or his terminal) in Novac.
3 of 8: Another piece of evidence is back at Goodsprings.
4 of 8: Go up onto the hill NE of town to reach the Goodsprings Cemetery, then look on the ground next to the empty grave (which is where Benny buried you).
5 of 8: You should find several distinctive cigarette butts. They're undoubtedly Benny's, so take at least one of them.
6 of 8: The third piece of evidence you can gather is Benny's engraved cigarette lighter.
7 of 8: It's in the possession of Jessup, the Great Khans leader in the Boulder City ruins. If you didn't kill off the Khans during the Boulder City quest, go pickpocket the lighter from Jessup.
8 of 8: When you have enough evidence, talk to Swank and tell him about it to get the same things that passing the remaining Speech checks would've gotten you.
