Primm Slim

Background

"Howdy, citizens. How about a Yee-Haw for law and order in the fine town of... error. Token not found."

Primm Slim is traditionally the caretaker and historian to Primm, his data banks containing a lot of information about the town and the Vikki & Vance Casino. Should the Courier ask him, Slim will talk at great lengths and in great depth about Vikki, Vance and even Primm itself. Slim also serves as the casino guard, although on closer inspection it is noted that he does not carry a weapon, nor does he have built in energy weapons. Upon reaching Primm for the first time you will find Slim patrolling the interior of the Vikki & Vance Casino.

Sheriff Slim

After having saved Deputy Beagle from the hands of the Powder Gangers in the Bison Steve Hotel, the Courier is tasked with arranging a new Sheriff for the town. One of the possibilities is to reprogramme Slim and have him serve the town as the new Sheriff. Note that you will need a science skill level of at least 30 to reprogramme Slim. Alternatively you can do it with the use of 3 Fission Batteries and 4 Conducters. If you do decide to choose Slim as the new Sheriff, Deputy Beagle will resign from his positon, stating that Slim is "guided too much by cold logic, and the letter of the law.

Points of Interest

• Slim has an incredible amount of health, that increases with the player's level. This essentially makes him the most resilient character in the game. Rather ironically, Slim has no attack, so despite his amazing health levels, he does not pose a threat in a fight. Note that if you do attack him, the rest of the inhabitants of Primm will instantly become hostile to you.
• After Slim is made Sheriff he will leave the confines of the Vikki & Vance Casino, make one patrol around Primm, and then be found next to the Bison Steve Hotel for the rest of the duration of the game.
• You will be able to listen to Slim on Radio New Vegas once he is Sheriff. He will not appear to know the name of the town he is Sheriff of however, due to missing data.
• Despite being Sheriff, you will never find Slim inside the Sheriff's office.
