This is a walkthrough of the Bye Bye Love side quest in Fallout New Vegas (FNV). Read on to learn how to unlock Bye Bye Love, where to find Joana or Carlitos, the quest rewards, and the best dialogue choices for completing the Bye Bye Love side quest.
You can begin this quest by talking to either Joana or Carlitos. Each of them will have skill checks for you to pass in order to trigger the dialogue that begins this side quest.
Joana is located in the courtyard of Gomorrah and you will need to pass a 50 Medicine or 75 Speech check.
Carlitos is located in the diner area of Vault 21 and will require you to pass a 50 Speech check.
Talk to Joana or Carlitos to begin this quest then talk to the other person (opposite of who you first talked to when starting the quest) to get them up to speed on the plan. After the two have agreed on the plan, talk to Carlitos to begin the escape.
Carlitos will suggest getting backup before attempting the escape. You can find the two guns-for-hire at the Atomic Wrangler.
Head back to Joana's room and tell her the plan's pushing through then wait for 12:00 AM to talk to her again.
Wait for Joana at the lobby in Gomorrah then talk to her so you can begin traveling to Freeside.
Upon meeting Carlitos at Freeside, a group of Omerta Thugs will ambush your group. From here, you have a choice of persuading them to let you go though some skill checks or you can kill them.
Should You Fight the Omerta Thugs? ▼
Finish the conversations with Carlitos and Joana to complete this side quest.
Once you get ambushed by the Omerta Thugs, we recommend de-escalating the situation and pass the skill checks instead of fighting them. This is mainly for Carlitos and Joana's survival as letting either one die from the encounter will cause the quest to fail.
The skill checks include 75 and 85 for Speech, 8 and 9 for Strength, and 85 and 75 for Barter.
If you don't have the means to pass these skill checks, we recommend taking on the optional objective of recruiting the guns-for-hire as they can help in taking out the Omerta Thugs faster.
