Charley Knowes and the Cartel want to take control of the Bizarre. They are offering us a chance to help them. The Cartel goons asked us to meet them in their hideout - an old car dealership north of the Bizarre near the collapsed parking garage.
Walkthrough[ | ]
- This is a quest where you can change the management for the Bizarre. You can either side with Charley, which requires you to kill the Monster Army you've spent quite a while helping, or just turn on Charley and eliminate him for the good of the wasteland. In this case, if you have a high reputation with the Monster Army, he'll take you on your word and reward you.
