Three - Card Bounty Three - Card Bounty is a in " " . Overview . Major Dhatri has been running into some problems with the raider gang known as the Fiends , who are terrorizing the area outside Camp McCarran . The Fiends have three known leaders : Violet , Cook - Cook , and Driver Nephi . They have killed many NCR troopers from the camp ; those they did not kill , they left traumatized . Dhatri wishes for them to be assassinated , so that he can put a major dent in the Fiends ' leadership and morale . Detailed walkthrough . Once the Courier offers help , they are tasked by Major Dhatri to assassinate the three Fiend leaders operating around the South Vegas ruins . Dhatri will advise against headshots , since he needs the bounties ' heads as proof of their deaths . As a result , the full reward is only given for an intact head . Violet . Unlike the other Fiend leaders , Violet doesn ' t have Fiend henchmen ; instead , she has vicious guard dogs . Her camp is due south of the Poseidon gas station , which is a short distance southwest of Cook - Cook ' s camp . Her camp is built on top of an abandoned trailer park , allowing both Violet , who will herself stand on the first floor of the middle structure , and her dogs to see you from a fair distance . The number of dogs may vary . There is a in a box on a shelf , up the ramp and to the left . Violet is dressed in standard raider armor , and almost has the same amount of health as standard Fiend raiders . She is armed with a , and is fairly accurate with it . Once you acquire her head , collect your bounty from Major Dhatri . Cook - Cook . Cook - Cook is the closest of the bounties to the airport , located just north of the South Vegas ruins west entrance in a makeshift camp built out of a broken - down building . He is surrounded by four to eight Fiends gang members , and a small brahmin herd . Cook - Cook himself is distinguished by his use of metal armor and an incinerator , as well as a . In his camp there is his Recipes - Cook - Cook ' s Fiend stew on a shelf or on the ground near a campfire . Little Buster , a soon - to - be - retired bounty hunter found in McCarran , has been known to scout Cook - Cook . If you talk to him , he will reveal to you that Cook - Cook has a pet named Queenie , and that killing it can make him careless . Once you acquire Cook - Cook ' s head , turn it in to Dhatri for your reward . Additional rewards can also be gained by speaking to corporal at McCarran ( or Forlorn Hope if Nephi is already killed ) and Pretty Sarah in Westside ( in the Casa Madrid Apartments ) , who will reward you for your " service to humanity " . Driver Nephi . Driver Nephi is the farthest away of the three , located northwest of the Samson rock crushing plant . He will be guarded by some unfriendly Fiends , usually more than Cook - Cook would have . Like Violet , Driver Nephi is not particularly tough because he wears raider armor and is armed with a melee weapon . However , Nephi ' s skill with his namesake golf club is considerable . Prior to this portion of the quest , you can speak with Lieutenant Gorobets to request that he assemble the sniper team known as 1st Recon at the Samson Rock Crushing Plant . They will take up position at the plant , and will fire upon Nephi if you lure him into range . Merely assembling them is enough to get a 300 - cap bonus , even if you don ' t let them take a shot at Nephi . They tend to kill with headshots , so they may prevent you from getting the full reward if hired . They will set five along their path to the plant . Once you acquire Nephi ' s head , claim your bounty from Major Dhatri . Conclusion . Major Dhatri , with all the major Fiend leaders gone , will express his relief and thank the Courier heavily , for undertaking a task that seemed nearly impossible . As a result of not needing more manpower to keep the Fiends in check , Dhatri will move the entire 1st Recon to Camp Forlorn Hope .
