Benefit Or a Hazard

 

Benefit Or a Hazard is a one-star (★) challenge added in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Challenge requirementsEdit

The Courier must kill 15 robots with 5.56mm pistols or That Gun.

LocationsEdit

• Several hardened sentry bots and hardened Mister Gutsies are found guarding the crashed vertibird.
• There are several Protectrons on the factory floor of Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters.
• There are two crazed Mister Handies and three Mr. Steels found inside New Vegas Steel. The Mr. Steels respawn every four in-game days.
• A Mister Gutsy can be found in Nipton, inside one of the houses in the north-eastern side of the town. It respawns every 3-4 in-game days.
• The Big MT is full of various robots.
• Any Securitron on the strip and The Strip North Gate. "Killing" Victor will cause the failure of the The House Always Wins I quest lines. This will also cause a loss in The Strip reputation.
• There are 13 hardened Mister Gutsies (or similar) in and around REPCONN headquarters.

EffectsEdit

Grants 250 XP upon completion.

NotesEdit

• While the Mister Handies at REPCONN headquarters do not count for Man-Machine Interface, they do count for this challenge. You can even disable them first, then shoot them.
• This challenge is not repeatable.

Behind the scenesEdit

The name of this challenge is a reference to Blade Runner. Specifically, it refers to Rick Deckard's statement given to Rachael: "Replicants are like any other machine. They're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's not my problem."
