The complimentary voucher is a miscellaneous item in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money.
Obtainment and usage[]
Winning 7,500 chips at the Sierra Madre casino will award the first complimentary voucher, and is the final Big Winner reward tier before the player character is banned from gambling at the Sierra Madre. This will allow the redemption of vouchers for 1,000 Sierra Madre chips (listed as "Free Chips") at Sierra Madre vending machines. If the comp reward is not received from the casino cashier hologram, then it will not be possible to redeem vouchers. As a result, the complimentary vouchers that are received every 3 days at the abandoned BoS bunker will be useless, as the vending machine will not accept them.
Notes[]
- 100 Sierra Madre chips and one complimentary voucher are deposited in the wall safe at the abandoned BoS bunker once Dead Money is completed. This deposit of chips and voucher will be repeated every 3 days. If deposits are not collected, they will accumulate.
- In later releases of Dead Money, they are quest items, fixing the out of map glitch and leaving them stuck permanently in the player character's inventory.
Behind the scenes[]
It is not intentional for the player to receive complimentary vouchers if they have not won the final comp reward from the Sierra Madre casino. A comment found directly above the code block that handles the complimentary voucher reward in the safe reward script, NVDLC01ChipRewardSCRIPT, expressly states:
CES 1/04/11 - Updating this to only happen when you have triggered the HUGE reward
The code block is also set up to be dependent on having won the final reward tier at the Sierra Madre (NVDLC01CasinoComps.bHuge == 1). However, it is widely confirmed that vouchers do show up even if the final reward tier was not unlocked, suggesting this code block condition does not work correctly.
Bugs[]
They may float in the air where dropped. The player character is unable to walk under it, but they can jump on it. This can be exploited to make shelves and bridges wherever the player character may need them. This can also be exploited to reach the Legate's camp earlier in the game. [verified]
The voucher and free chips will occasionally not be deposited in the safe despite in game periods much higher than 3 days having passed. [verification overdue]
