Location: The Tops Casino, New Vegas Strip. Quest: 'Ring-a-Ding-Ding!'.
Strategy: Benny is not a traditional boss fight if you play your cards right. You have several options:
- Direct Attack: If you attack him in the casino, the entire casino will turn hostile. This is a difficult fight early on. Focus fire on Benny and use VATS to target his head.
- Speech/Stealth: Use Speech (60) to convince him to meet you in his Presidential Suite. He will attempt to ambush you there with two bodyguards. You can disarm the bodyguards with a high Explosives skill (25) or Sneak past them.
- Alliance: You can temporarily ally with him, but he will betray you later.
- Caesar's Legion: If you're working with the Legion, you can capture him and deliver him to Caesar at The Fort.
Weaknesses: Benny is human, so he's vulnerable to headshots and critical hits. He wears light armor. His bodyguards are also human.
Recommended Gear: Any decent pistol or rifle, a few Stimpaks. If going for stealth, a silenced weapon. If fighting in the casino, bring companions.
Rewards: Benny's unique 9mm pistol 'Maria', his suit, and the Platinum Chip (if you take it).
