Fallout 3 Hints
Pronto's Inventory Problems
1 of 7: Go to the slaver town of Paradise Falls (location 8 on the Zone 2 Map) and figure out how to get in.
2 of 7: Enter the "Lock And Load" shop that's near the NE corner of the main Paradise Falls area and talk to Pronto.
3 of 7: Ask him where he gets his supplies, then volunteer to get him 20 Chinese assault rifles.
4 of 7: There's no one place where you can get very many Chinese assault rifles, so keep an eye out for them wherever you go. You can get them randomly from super mutants, raiders, Talon Company mercs, Brotherhood outcasts, and others.
5 of 7: See the list below for the locations of all the nonrandom Chinese assault rifles.
6 of 7: When you find some, keep them and DON'T use them to repair each other -- Pronto only cares about quantity here, not quality.
7 of 7: After you give him 20 Chinese assault rifles, return after 24 hours or more have passed to find that he has a much better inventory (though you don't seem to get the promised 20% discount on it).
