Walkthrough for Fallout: New Vegas's Old Mormon Fort, including recruiting Arcade Gannon, completing quests for Julie Farkas, and obtaining unique rewards like the Followers Lab Coat.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Reach the Old Mormon Fort: Head south-west to find the haven for the Followers of the Apocalypse.
  2. 2
    Talk to Beatrix Russel: A Ghoul lady who offers unique perspectives on Freeside, the NCR, and Mr. House. Currently, there's no way to alleviate her boredom.
  3. 3
    Find and Recruit Arcade Gannon: Locate the blonde researcher. Talk to him about his research, Caesar, and work. If you pass a Speech 75 check when asking him to join you, he will agree and grant you the Better Healing perk (regain more health from all sources). If you are following the guide precisely, you will also unlock the Trophy/Achievement “The Whole Gang’s Here” (Recruit all companions).
  4. 4
    Find Julie Farkas: She can be found wandering outside or in a tower to the west at night.
  5. 5
    Obtain Snow Globe - Mormon Fort: If it's night and Julie is in the tower, grab the Snow Globe - Mormon Fort from a bookshelf on the upper floor.
  6. 6
    Start Quests with Julie Farkas: Ask her to let Jerry the Punk join the Followers. She will accept, and completing this quest, Cry Me A River, rewards you with 350 XP.
  7. 7
    Supply the Followers (Short Term): Ask Julie if she needs supplies. She'll request Med-X, RadAway, and Fixer. Agree to supply her and suggest a long-term solution. You can donate chems (Med-X and RadAway are recommended) three at a time to gain Followers Fame and 10 XP per chem until Julie states they have enough. Donating enough supplies will allow you to join the Followers, granting access to the Followers Safehouse and the unique Followers Lab Coat. This quest rewards 300 XP and Followers of the Apocalypse Fame.
  8. 8
    Arrange Long Term Supply: Julie will suggest talking to Mick and Ralph and the Garretts at the Atomic Wrangler. Go to the Atomic Wrangler and speak with James Garret. He'll agree to supply the Followers if they help fix his stills. Return to Julie to convince her to agree to the deal. Confirm the business deal with James Garret to solve the long-term supply problem, earning Freeside Fame. Report back to Julie for the full quest reward: 300 XP and Followers of the Apocalypse Fame.
  9. 9
    Start High Times Quest: Julie may also ask you to help Old Bill Ronte and Jacob Hoff with their addictions. To start this, ask about them. This leads to the quest High Times. You will need to find Dixon, a dealer, to address their problems.
Tips

  • Donating chems to Julie Farkas not only progresses quests but also increases your standing with the Followers, potentially leading to Idolized status.

  • Recruiting Arcade Gannon: Better Healing perk, Trophy/Achievement “The Whole Gang’s Here”.
  • Completing Cry Me A River: 350 XP.
  • Solving Short Term Supply problems: 300 XP, Followers of the Apocalypse Fame, access to Followers Safehouse, Followers Lab Coat.
