Three-Card Bounty

Given by: Major Dharti [Camp McCarran] (M25:3)

The major wanders around a camp. You can find him near the terminal building most of the day. Your task is to kill three Fiends. It is up to you how you eliminate them but you have to bring him their undamaged heads. If you shoot any of them in the head, the task will end with failure. You can take only one mission at a time so each time you have to return to the major, give him the Fiend's head and take another task.

The best way is to use a sniper rifle and shoot all targets from a distance. You may consider using V.A.T.S. system during this mission, while then they won't have head shots more likely.

Violet

Head to the [Poseidon Gas Station] (MsA:16) when you'll locate Violet with no problems. Watch out for her dogs while they can prevent you from shooting Violet very effectively. If you have the [Animal Friend] perk, you can use it and they won't attack you at all. When you shoot the Fiend, take Violet's head and return to Major Dharti (M25:3). Give him the head and collect a reward.

Driver Nephi

There are two ways to deal with this particular Fiend. You can fight him one on one or get some support from the 1st Recon squad. You'll find Lieutenant Gorobets at the main square (M25:4) - ask him for help. You can either be a decoy to lure Nephi out of his hideout or kill him along with the 1st Recon squad. The squad will be waiting in the Samson Rock Crushing Plant. Go and meet Nephi.

Head to the [Vault 3] (MsB:23) and enter [the Fiend's territory]. You have to fight many of them before you reach Driver Nephi (M41:1). Remember not to shoot his head accidentally.

When you shoot the Fiend, take Driver Nephi's head and return to Major Dharti (M25:3). Give him the head and collect a reward.

Cook-Cook

The information you can get from Little Buster might be very helpful with this mission. You can find him in the centre of Camp McCarran or in his tent (M25:5). He'll tell you that Cook-Cook has a brahmin herd with his favorite one named Queenie. Head to the [South Vegas Ruins West Entrance] (MsB:22). You can either fight Cook-Cook or kill Queenie as Buster suggested. If you kill the brahmin, Cook-Cook will fly into a rage, killing anyone near him and clearing a path for you. Kill him then, watching out for his close range weapon - a flamer. Remember not to shoot his head accidentally.

When you shoot the Fiend, take Cook-Cook's head and return to Major Dharti (M25:3). Give him the head and collect a reward.
