The Aba Daba Honeymoon quest in Fallout: New Vegas offers players an intriguing look into the drug-running operations of the Great Khans faction. Commenced in the hidden drug lab of Red Rock Canyon, this mission provides unique lore details, faction reputation opportunities, and valuable crafting rewards. Understanding the specific choices and potential pitfalls throughout this quest line ensures a smooth progression for your Courier.
Locating the Drug Lab and Rescuing Anders
To begin the quest, travel to Red Rock Canyon and locate the drug lab tucked away in a narrow chasm. Here, you will meet Jack and Diane, who run the faction's chemical manufacturing operation. Diane will request your help in locating Anders, a missing courier who has failed to return from a supply run.
You can find Anders crucified near Cottonwood Cove by Caesar's Legion forces. Choosing to free Anders allows you to safely advance the quest while maintaining good standing with the Great Khans. Returning to Diane after rescuing him grants a caps reward or the recipe to craft Turbo.
Making Deliveries to the Crimson Caravan and Fiends
After resolving Anders' situation, Diane will ask you to assist with critical supply deliveries across the wasteland. The first package is destined for Don Hostetler at the Crimson Caravan Company compound near Freeside. Delivering this item earns additional caps and raises your standing with the Great Khans.
The next task involves delivering a highly suspicious package directly to Motor-Runner inside Vault 3. To enter without causing a fight, players should wear Great Khan armor or pass a Speech skill check with the entrance guards. Handing over the package safely concludes the delivery phase of the assignment.
Teaching Jack New Recipes for Unarmed Mastery
Once the deliveries are complete, return to the drug lab to unlock the final segment of the questline. You can talk to Jack about expanding his drug menu by passing Science or Survival checks. Successfully teaching him new recipes allows the lab to produce stronger consumables for players.
Completing this entire chain grants you the Khan Trick unarmed combat technique. This unique maneuver allows players to throw dirt at enemies during combat to briefly stun them. It serves as an essential reward for melee and unarmed character builds in New Vegas.
Avoiding Quest Bugs and Critical Mistakes
Players should exercise caution, as killing Motor-Runner or Don Hostetler prior to completing the quest will result in immediate failure. Additionally, entering Vault 3 early and clearing out the inhabitants can cause dialogue bugs with Motor-Runner. It is best to undertake this assignment before starting NCR bounties targeting the Fiend leaders.
Make sure not to wear NCR faction armor when visiting Vault 3 to avoid triggering immediate hostility from guards. Following these steps systematically guarantees full quest rewards without locking yourself out of valuable faction ties.
