Lieutenant Hayes is a lieutenant of the New California Republic Army, 5th Battalion, 1st Company. In 2281, he has been charged with the containment of the Powder Gangers, who have taken control of the NCR Correctional Facility.
Background[]
Hayes is the commanding officer in charge of the 1st Company of the 5th Army Battalion,[1] deployed to the town of Primm with orders to contain the Powder Gangers who emerged after the NCRCF prison break. Due to a shortage of men and materiel, Hayes resigned his unit to containment, blocking attempts by convicts to spill south and endanger the Mojave Outpost. The Powder Gangers turned out to be better organized and armed than expected. As such, the NCR Correctional Facility remains under ganger control, while Primm was seized by a crew of convicts that broke off from the main group.[2]

Notes[]
- After taking care of Eddie and the Powder Gangers at the NCRCF, Hayes will travel to Camp Forlorn Hope. However, he will sometimes be seen by the facility, likely en route to the camp.
- Hayes will walk all the way to Camp Forlorn Hope from Primm, which may result in his death.
- Hayes was originally scripted as a Corporal in the same town, instead of Lieutenant, as suggested by his GECK Editor ID (PrimmCorporalHayes).
- Upon his death, a popup will inform the player that "Lieutenant Hayes has died!" similar to a companion.
Notable quotes[]
- "We know Primm is a great strategic point, and we aren't blind to the needs of the town, but we're barely holding our own against the Powder Gangers."
- "Where do you come from that you haven't heard of the NCR? Nevermind, it doesn't matter much. If you haven't heard of us, you must not be from the Legion. Put simply, the NCR is the greatest nation currently functioning."
- "A little bit ago the convicts staged a coup, killed the guards that weren't able to escape, and have been ransacking the area since then."
Appearances[]
Lieutenant Hayes appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
References[]
- ↑ Hayes: "I'm Lieutenant Hayes of the New California Republic Army, 5th Battalion, 1st Company. What's your business?"
(Hayes' dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "What are you doing out here?"
Hayes: "We were sent out here to hold back the tide of convicts from the correctional facility. As you can probably tell, we aren't doing the kind of job we could be doing."
The Courier: "What's the problem with your mission?"
Hayes: "The mission isn't a problem. The problem is with supplies. The convicts are better armed and organized than our intel initially suggested. I'm trying to get some reinforcements here, maybe some guns with some firepower, but... shit... things are just going slow."
(Hayes' dialogue)
