Detailed walkthrough[]
When speaking with Sarah Weintraub in the Vault 21 gift shop, accessed from the street entrance in the southernmost section of the Strip, she can be asked about what the gift shop has for sale. Sarah will reveal that Vault jumpsuits are one of the hottest items and as a result, she's completely sold out and in need of a new supply. If one agrees to help her, Sarah offers to pay for any jumpsuits they can bring back from scavenging in the various Vaults around the Mojave (with the exception of Vault 21 jumpsuits including the one given by Doc Mitchell in the prologue). Passing a 65 Barter check allows for Sarah to also accept Boomer jumpsuits and Boomer flightsuits from Nellis Air Force Base in addition to standard Vault jumpsuits.
Sarah will only accept Vault jumpsuits that are found in the following five Vaults around the Mojave Wasteland:
Of the five, Vault 3 and Vault 11 both have large numbers of jumpsuits in dressers in their respective living quarters. See the Vault jumpsuit page for specific locations.
Note: Vault 3 suits can also be bought at Mick & Ralph's in Freeside, but they will only have up to four suits and do not restock once purchased.
Upon bringing a given amount of jumpsuits to Sarah, one will receive 30 caps per jumpsuit and a small amount of Strip fame. After the player character has brought her 30 vault suits, on each visit thereafter, she will mention that she's missed the player. The player will then be given the option to sleep with her while "catching up", giving the Well Rested bonus (which is normally not earned by sleeping in Vault 21's guest room). Alternatively, after a pair of 65 and 75 Speech checks, she will agree to sleep with the player character after receiving suits.
Notes[]
- Giving Sarah one jumpsuit at a time results in more Strip fame than giving all 30 jumpsuits at once due to the fame being rewarded every time the delivery dialogue option is selected rather than how many jumpsuits are given. I.e., selling 1 jumpsuit 30 times nets +30 Strip fame in contrast to 15 jumpsuits 2 times which nets +2 Strip fame.
- For the first visit, Sarah will accept 10 suit offers in succession. After this, walking near either doorway of the gift shop will re-trigger an inventory check enabling selling more suits. Waiting or leaving the gift shop is not necessary.
- There is no limit to how many times the player character can sleep with Sarah for the Well Rested bonus, but in Hardcore mode, it does not lower the sleep meter and simply passes time. This makes it necessary to rest normally in one of the beds, which also passes time, leading to dehydration and starvation.
- Passing the Barter check with Sarah to receive payment for Boomer clothing will earn caps, but they will not count towards the total number of Vault jumpsuits that must be given to her in order to unlock the dialogue to have sex with her.
- If the player character is female, the two speech checks will not show up, even after the quest has been completed. Renting a room is not required prior to sleeping with Sarah. The game will simply recognize that the quest has been completed and the option to sleep with her will be automatic.
Bugs[]
The player character will gain the same amount of Strip fame each time they turn in vault suits, regardless of how many vault suits are turned in at once.- Sarah will sometimes use a deeper female voice upon greeting you or after finishing a trade. [verified]
- Sarah will sometimes take Vault 34 suits, but won't accept Vault 22 suits. [verified]
- If the player character leaves the vault after giving Sarah the 30 jumpsuits and she agrees to sleep with the player character, without first having sex with Sarah, she will remain in the gift shop and it becomes impossible to interact with her. [verified]
- Suits held by the Courier are counted twice: once upon entering the gift shop, and a second time when first speaking to Sarah. However, some of Sarah's greetings do not do this second count, making it possible for the Courier to arrive with a large number of vault suits and/or Boomer outfits, drop or transfer all of the clothing, then engage Sarah in conversation and redeem the reward without actually turning in any clothing. Because only specific greetings are affected, this is only possible if the player character has not turned in more than 30 suits total, including "phantom" suits turned in via this bug but not including any Boomer outfits. [verified]
- The specific greetings affected are the greeting that starts with, "Well, well! If it isn't the Vault explorer..." which occurs after giving her between 10 and 30 suits total, as well as the "Behave..." greeting which only is seen if you have turned in less than 10 suits total and have angered Sarah in conversation.
- The above bug also works in the opposite direction: if the player character takes vault suits from a companion's inventory after arriving at Vault 21, the additional suits will not be counted towards the total turned in. However, the additional suits will not be removed from the player character's inventory either. Leaving the gift shop and then returning will allow the player character to turn in the remaining vault suits. [verified]
- Note that the player character must only leave the gift shop rather than Vault 21 entirely, as the two triggers which recount the Courier's vault jumpsuits are placed in front of either entrance to the gift shop. Simply walking partway down the stairs and then back up again will recount the number of vault suits the player character is carrying.
- With Veronica as a companion, Sarah will come to the room to have sex but then leave before and the player character will be stuck. [verified]

While talking with Sarah, and as long as you keep your more smart-ass comments to yourself, you can stop Sarah after she fails to impress you with her vault goodies. She’s really looking for more Vault Jumpsuits, and she’s hoping you can help. You can:
Tell her you’ll help her out.
Mention you might be persuaded. You can then Barter (see below), or agree to help.
A bit of sweet-talking convinces her to work together with you.
But tell her not to say “here, now!”
Mention Boomer Suits, and she says she’ll definitely pay a good number of Caps for them, too!
At this point, you can begin to explore the Mojave Wasteland, and obviously the vaults, before bringing back anything you can scavenge. Vault Jumpsuits are almost always found in dressers, some lockers, and occasionally folded up on shelves. Here’s what Sarah takes. Expect to receive 30 Caps per Vault Suit, and 15 per Boomer Suit (which she only accepts after the Barter check) ."
