Suggs Location and Inventory

Interact with the Terminal Inside

Select the third option, Weapons Dealer in Monsignor Plaza, after opening the terminal. This will tell you about another shop that opened and advance the quest.

2. Visit the Competing Shop at Monsignor Plaza

Follow the quest marker heading east from Suggs' Garage to just south of the Monsignor Plaza marker. The quest leads you to a green door right next to a body of water. There are mines leading up to the door so be careful.

Clear the Gun Shop

Enter the door and prepare to fight some enemies inside. You should save at the entrance before initiating combat. Defeat the enemies and continue heading up the stairs to the 3rd floor to find the gun shop.

The gun shop will have more enemies inside, clear the area first before doing anything else.

3. Read the Store Note

Head inside the gun shop and you'll find Marvin's Note on the front desk. Read it to advance the quest. The note will tell you about an ambush that Marvin is planning to do on Suggs. Follow the quest marker to find Marvin setting up near Suggs' garage location.

4. Find Marvin and Retrieve the Schematics

Head back to Suggs' garage and you'll find Marvin waiting on top of a building right next to it with his guards.

Retrieve the Grenade Launcher Schematics

Defeat Marvin and his store security on top of the building roof and take the Grenade Launcher Schematics from his body.

5. Return the Schematics to Suggs

Protect Suggs from additional Marvin's Store Security that comes after him after killing Marvin. Keep him alive and return the grenade launcher schematics to him.
