Fallout: New Vegas Hints
Brahmin Assault Investigation
1 of 7: In Novac (location 15 on the Zone 4 Map), find No-bark Noonan in or near his shack at the north end of town.
2 of 7: Talk to him about what's been going on in town to learn about the attacks on brahmin at the McBride Corral. (Or skip him and go straight to Dusty McBride.)
3 of 7: Visit the McBride house at the SW corner of town and ask Dusty McBride about losing livestock, then say you'll try to catch whoever's responsible.
4 of 7: Go over to a spot between the west side of the brahmin corral and the train tracks, then use the game's Wait feature to wait until it's after midnight.
5 of 7: Not long after midnight, a nightkin (possibly stealthed) will cross the tracks and approach the brahmin corral. He'll stop next to the telephone pole that's just SW of the corral.
6 of 7: And he'll just stand there and do nothing forever. You can pickpocket him or kill him to get a holotape that proves he's the brahmin attacker, but the game may never let you report success to Dusty due to a glitch.
7 of 7: If you get lucky and the glitch doesn't happen, you can tell Dusty no one is going to attack his corral from now on to get 75 caps and some Novac fame.
