'''Primm''' is a [[Fallout: New Vegas locations|town]] in the [[Mojave Wasteland]] in [[Timeline#2281|2281]].
  +
  +
==Background==
  +
Pre-War, Primm was “budget Vegas,” a tiny town where Californians could go to gamble, the shortest distance between their wallets and a hole in the ground. Now it’s not much of a settlement at all, poorly populated to begin with and more treacherous since the Powder Gangs broke out of prison. Wastelanders have scouted out Primm for settlement in recent years, but even at its “prime,” it was unlikely to have had a large population. To attempt to woo potential travelers along the then-freeway, two “themed” casinos where built around the exploits of two desperadoes from ancient history, and an archaic (and now highly dangerous) El Diablo rollercoaster.<ref name="FNV Guide">''[[Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide]]''</ref>
  +
  +
The landscape of Primm is dominated by a few empty ranch homes, the rubble of the town’s main streets and store-fronts, and a small NCR camp set up southwest of town to prevent Convicts from pushing further south to the NCR’s Mojave Outpost. The townsfolk, now without a sheriff after he was murdered by Gangers, are holed up across the road from the Mojave Express Couriers, in the down-trodden old Vikki & Vance Casino. Low on supplies, the townsfolk can’t hold out much longer, and the Convicts’ presence continues to build as they’ve recently commandeered the larger, Bison Steve Casino and Hotel, patrolling the unstable El Diablo rollercoaster and wrecking the remaining grandeur this place once had. Primm faces a grim reality; there are few people here to keep order.

When approaching Primm, you will be greeted by an [[NCR trooper]] saying that the town is off-limits. In the center of town lies a barricade that bisects it. The barricade is held on the west by a squad of NCR troopers, led by [[Hayes|Lieutenant Hayes]]. When crossing the bridge east into town, be wary of a couple of [[Frag mine (Fallout: New Vegas)|frag mine]]s lying on or near the wooden boards that connect the bridge.

There is a roller coaster in town which runs above and around the [[Bison Steve Hotel]]. Several convicts can be found on and around its tracks. Once inside town, the player can access the Bison Steve Hotel, where [[Beagle|Deputy Beagle]] is being held by [[escaped convict]]s, or can cross the street to the [[Vikki and Vance Casino]], where the non-hostile citizens of Primm can be found. Either option will enable the player to trigger the quest [[My Kind of Town]], given by Deputy Beagle (in the Bison Steve Hotel) or [[Johnson Nash]] (in the Vikki and Vance Casino).

In the southeast end of town there are four [[Primm house|lootable houses]]. Across the street from the Vikki and Vance Casino and the Bison Steve hotel is the [[Nash residence]], which doubles as the [[Mojave Express]], and inside it is [[ED-E]]. It is on the table inside of the Nash residence. Once you repair it, the quest [[ED-E My Love]] will become available.

Outside the house lies the remains of the fourth courier, [[Daniel Wyand]], along with the [[Mojave Express delivery order (4 of 6)|fourth courier note]]. There's a [[campfire]] located south-west of the casinos, in the cluster of houses.

“Often the first place NCR travelers stop after the Mojave Outpost, Primm is also where a lot of folks realize they left New Vegas with barely enough money to make the long trek back to The Hub.”— Fallout: New Vegas loading screen

Primm is a town in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background

Pre-War, Primm was “budget Vegas,” a tiny town where Californians could go to gamble, the shortest distance between their wallets and a hole in the ground. Now it’s not much of a settlement at all, poorly populated to begin with and more treacherous since the Powder Gangs broke out of prison. Wastelanders have scouted out Primm for settlement in recent years, but even at its “prime,” it was unlikely to have had a large population. To attempt to woo potential travelers along the then-freeway, two “themed” casinos where built around the exploits of two desperadoes from ancient history, and an archaic (and now highly dangerous) El Diablo rollercoaster.[1]

The landscape of Primm is dominated by a few empty ranch homes, the rubble of the town’s main streets and store-fronts, and a small NCR camp set up southwest of town to prevent Convicts from pushing further south to the NCR’s Mojave Outpost. The townsfolk, now without a sheriff after he was murdered by Gangers, are holed up across the road from the Mojave Express Couriers, in the down-trodden old Vikki & Vance Casino. Low on supplies, the townsfolk can’t hold out much longer, and the Convicts’ presence continues to build as they’ve recently commandeered the larger, Bison Steve Casino and Hotel, patrolling the unstable El Diablo rollercoaster and wrecking the remaining grandeur this place once had. Primm faces a grim reality; there are few people here to keep order.

Layout

When approaching Primm, you will be greeted by an NCR trooper saying that the town is off-limits. In the center of town lies a barricade that bisects it. The barricade is held on the west by a squad of NCR troopers, led by Lieutenant Hayes. When crossing the bridge east into town, be wary of a couple of frag mines lying on or near the wooden boards that connect the bridge.

There is a roller coaster in town which runs above and around the Bison Steve Hotel. Several convicts can be found on and around its tracks. Once inside town, the player can access the Bison Steve Hotel, where Deputy Beagle is being held by escaped convicts, or can cross the street to the Vikki and Vance Casino, where the non-hostile citizens of Primm can be found. Either option will enable the player to trigger the quest My Kind of Town, given by Deputy Beagle (in the Bison Steve Hotel) or Johnson Nash (in the Vikki and Vance Casino).

In the southeast end of town there are four lootable houses. Across the street from the Vikki and Vance Casino and the Bison Steve hotel is the Nash residence, which doubles as the Mojave Express, and inside it is ED-E. It is on the table inside of the Nash residence. Once you repair it, the quest ED-E My Love will become available.

Outside the house lies the remains of the fourth courier, Daniel Wyand, along with the fourth courier note. There's a campfire located south-west of the casinos, in the cluster of houses.

To the northwest behind the back wall and in front of the cliff there is a hollowed-out rock.
