Fallout: New Vegas Hints
(Optional) Wipe the mercenaries out.
1 of 4: If you'd rather kill off the mercenaries than come to a peaceful arrangement, and don't mind getting NCR infamy points, go back west a ways and start sniping at Norton.
2 of 4: Stay back and snipe at the mercs while Marcus and the other nearby mutants help you fight them.
3 of 4: The danger of that method is that Marcus might get killed, which will fail the quest. You'll probably want to set some mine clusters near the mercs for them to stumble into before starting your sniping.
4 of 4: Or better yet, sneakily pickpocket ammo from the mercs so they can't use their main weapons. If you do that to all five of them, you can shoot Norton once to get the fight started, then let the super mutants kill them off to avoid getting any NCR infamy.
