Detailed walkthrough[]
It's possible to borrow money from Lorenzo Giovanni, the loan shark in the Hub. If the Vault Dweller borrows the 200 caps and immediately returns it, they won't be changed the 10% interest and can take out the next highest loan. Repeat this with each loan and they will quickly be able to take the largest amount of 1,000 caps.
After taking out the loan, Lorenzo can be killed and it will never be needed to be paid back. No one will interfere when killing Lorenzo, except for his guards, Guido and Leone. However, his guards may pose a threat to lower level player characters.
Lorenzo also acts as a merchant, restocking 1,000 to 3,000 caps to trade with people. Whilst this cash won't be dropped upon his death, most of the items traded to him can be retrieved from his corpse (depending on what he uses up in combat).
Completing this side quest can be extremely lucrative as Lorenzo keeps many valuable items in the office's locked safe such as 2,034 caps in the locker, frag grenades and guns in the bookshelf, in addition to the initial profit from the loan.
Rewards[]
- Over 3,000 caps
- Assorted weapons
Notes[]
- If the Vault Dweller kills Lorenzo, Kane will be mad at them and won't let them see Decker. Conversely, if the Vault Dweller kills Kane and Decker first, Lorenzo will refuse to talk to them.
- All three of them count towards killing several miscreants for gaining positive reputation, if the Vault Dweller gets the killing blow.
