The Lonesome Drifter

  • 1 of 5: Go to the Lonesome Drifter's camp at secondary location a on the Zone 4 Map.
  • 2 of 5: TIP: If your Barter skill is less than 50, pickpocket the drifter's unique gun before talking to him.
  • 3 of 5: Talk to him about working for Tommy Torini to learn that he won't accept the job until he knows you better.
  • 4 of 5: Ask him what his story is, then listen to the whole thing without being insulting.
  • 5 of 5: You can then mention Tommy Torini again to get him to sign up. (Note that if you can pass a Barter 50 check, you can get his unique gun.)
