At a point in Wasteland 3's Big Trouble in Little Vegas sidequest, players will be instructed to confront MacTavish at a machine shop in Downtown Colorado Springs. The goal here is to prompt a confession from this NPC, and there are a couple of choices that players can make as they give MacTavish the shakedown in this new RPG. For those fans that would like to know a bit more about these choices before they make one, or are simply having some trouble locating the machine shop, this guide has all of the details.

Wasteland 3: MacTavish Choices

The first decision for Wasteland 3 players to make comes when MacTavish asks to receive payment in exchange for information, and there are four options to choose here. These options are to give him 500 dollars, to give him 300 dollars (Level 4 Barter required), to refuse the deal outright, or to threaten to take him to the Marshals, and ultimately this decision does not matter at all. Indeed, MacTavish will provide the desired information regardless of what a player picks, and fans should thus feel free to go with any option that they desire.

After MacTavish confesses and Wasteland 3 fans pursue any further lines of questioning that they are interested in, another choice comes up, and this one has greater import than the previous one. More specifically, players must decide what to do with MacTavish, and there are again four options:

  • Just go. Get out of town.: MacTavish leaves.
  • We're gonna want a little "reward" first.: MacTavish hands over $115 before leaving.
  • Arrest: Players are given the option to have MacTavish picked up by either the Rangers or the Marshals. Selecting Rangers will place him into the jail at Ranger HQ, and selecting Marshals will reward fans with 5 reputation for that faction.
  • Kill: Players receive a mask that has +3 Armor, + 1 Mechanics, and +1 Toaster Repair.

To note, there is a unique dialogue choice available to characters with Level 4 First Aid, a Wasteland 3 skill that makes players better at both healing and reviving. This choice reads "bet you get colds more often than you used to," and it prompts a very brief aside about MacTavish's nose.

Wasteland 3: MacTavish Machine Shop Location

Of course, before a player gets to make the choices outlined above they must first find MacTavish, and fortunately that as fairly easy to do. The machine shop where he is housed is across from the police department in the southern side of town, and it is accessible immediately after the conversation with Charley Knowes. It is important mention that there are a number of enemies inside this location, and fans should thus make sure that their Wasteland 3 squads are prepared for a fight before they enter.

Wasteland 3 is out now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
