When I killed Charles from Accounting he just dropped his helmet. Anyone else have this issue or find a fix?

First I've heard of this, maybe you can pick the weapon off the ground, if not I'd just keep trying to reload previous saves

Seems like Charles doesn't respawn/his body despawns, I didn't pick up the weapon off his body when I killed him first. Went back and his body wasn't there. I think it's missable if you do that. Going to have to reload an earlier save now...

I had the glitch where Charles only had the helmet on him and his weapon went poof when he died. I reloaded my save, fast traveled to a new area, and came back to him and after he died he had it on him.

I cleared the map without realizing I needed something from Charles. He's long dead and gone and I didn't get Special Delivery. Any idea where his body (and the weapon) can be found adter-the-fact?

For the "A Dialog Between Dead Men" quest, you can bypass the quiz entirely with Hack 150. I don't know how helpful that is, considering that anyone reading this will likely have already read the quiz answers in the guide above, but if you want 3,350 exp for a single hack, here's your chance.

This is 100% missable. If you don’t pickpocket Dr. Jasper Law during the quest, he doesn’t have Employee Benefits on him when you return.

Additionally, Charles from Accounting does not respawn if you kill him, and his loot doesnt stay on the ground so you can’t go back and grab it if you didn’t pick it up.

The achievement unlocks when you obtain the three science weapons available in the Peril on Gorgon for The Outer Worlds. The three weapons do not all have to be in your possession at the same time. The requirement is that you pick up each of the three weapons when you encounter them. You may pick them up in any order. They are:

Special Delivery: Near the Gorgon Landing Pad, talk to Khaleel Chakroun, a vendor who runs Khaleel’s Survival Goods. Exhaust his dialog to learn about Charles from Accounting. Look at your Gorgon map. From Khaleel, go right, following the darker terrain until you get to the OCI Exterior. Outside the facility with your back to the entrance, take the first right and discover the Worker’s Domiciles on your map.

Fight or sneak by the enemies until you reach the Marauder Camp at the bottom right of the Gorgon map. Defeat the enemies noting Charles from Accounting in the center of the area. He is distinguished by the Defaced Moonman Helmet he wears, a special (but not unique) helmet you can loot from his body (Intimidate +10, Lie +5). When you loot his body, make sure to pick up the Special Delivery science weapon. If you fail to pick it up when you kill him, it may not be available when you return to his corpse.

Note: It is quite possible to sneak behind Charles and pickpocket him for the weapon. If all enemies are unalerted, there is plenty of cover to hide your presence and obtain the weapon through stealth.

Note that this is the same area where you find Lucky Montoya's body for the Lucky Stiff achievement. Next to him is an audio log, Lucky's Notes: Smoke and Mirrors. It’s one of the portable phonographs required for the Good Listener achievement.

Employee Benefits: You will come across this weapon by following the main questline, in particular, The Man in High Orbit. Follow the quest marker to Dr. Low who requires you to repair the Electromechanical Turbine before he’ll agree to help you.

With the access card he gives you, open the door, climb the stairs, and take the elevator to the top. Activate the turbine using the terminal. Kill the auto-mechanicals. When the area is clear, use the two levers designated by quest markers to effect the repair. Activate the turbine again from the terminal near the elevator.

Report your success to Dr. Low. He’ll give you an audio log with a passphrase to access the CHEM Lab—this is one of the portable phonographs for the Good Listener achievement. Continue to press him for access and he’ll give you the CHEM Lab Security Pass. As a reward, he gives you the special handgun, Employee Benefits.

Note: You can also kill Dr. Low and loot his body or pickpocket him. However, the cleanest option is to follow the dialog and obtain all the rewards. If, after you have exhausted all dialog options and obtained everything you need, you feel Dr. Low does not deserve to live; feel free to eradicate him.

The P.E.T.: This weapon is associated with an involved side quest if you do it legitimately. That requires you to find issues #1 through #4 of the comic The Exhilarating Adventures of Archibald Excelsior. They provide the answers to get the passphrase to open the secret hideout where the weapon is located. However, if you can pass a hack skill check of 150, you won’t need the passphrase. Taking Vicar Max and SAM in your party will give a substantial boost to your hacking skill as will wearing armor and helmet that provide hacking bonuses.

You won’t need the comics because I’ll give you the answers in this guide. However, if you want to do it legitimately, the locations of the comics are as follows:
  • The Exhilarating Adventures of Archibald Excelsior, Issue 1: Maurice’s Research Site
  • The Exhilarating Adventures of Archibald Excelsior, Issue 2: Virgil’s Research Site
  • The Exhilarating Adventures of Archibald Excelsior, Issue 3: Birdie’s Research Site
  • The Exhilarating Adventures of Archibald Excelsior, Issue 4: Eustace’s Research Site
Chances are you may have run across all four during your explorations. If not, they can be picked up during the upcoming side quest.

Go to the Security Checkpoint on the map. This is a location you discovered en route to the CHEM Lab (across the bridge down from the Transmission Tower Alpha). Take the elevator down. Turn right and kill a few enemies. (Turning left leads to the CHEM Lab.) Discover the Fossil location on your map but run by it without talking to anyone. Right after this location, you’ll see a pathway through the rocks to your left. Its entrance will be lit up making it fairly easy to spot. Enter and keep to your right. Just before a bridge, there are steps to the left. Go up them.

You’ll discover the Secret Hideout location on your map. Read messages on the terminal to unlock the A Dialog Between Dead Men side quest. Select, Enter “True Fan” Passphrase. There’s a hack option if you can pass a hack skill check of 150 but you'll miss out on some side quest XP.

The four comic books listed above each have a part of the passphrase. You can read the comic books by going into inventory and tabbing to quest items. Highlight the issue to read it. Right stick click (cn_RSc) to inspect it in more detail. For convenience, the answer to each issue's question is listed below. If you want to do it legitimately, the quest marker for the A Dialog Between Dead Men side quest will take you to any issue you have not yet picked up.
  1. Issue #1: Sissak Sassafrass, Spindle Knight of Olympus!
  2. Issue #2: The skull of King Alpha's own mother!
  3. Issue #3: Tricking Archibald with his dastardly Mind Control Ray!
  4. Issue #4: With a bolt of lightning from above!

Pick up the weapon on the table, The P.E.T. If this is the 3rd of the 3 Peril on Gorgon science weapons you pick up, the achievement will pop. Otherwise, pick up the remaining science weapon(s) to unlock the achievement.

**Possible Glitch**

Special Delivery, P.E.T. and Employee Benefits are the new Science weapons in this DLC.

For a detailed and interactive map to help understand the locations, go here: LINK.

Special Delivery

  • Location: Gorgon
  • Region: Gorgon Canyon
  • Nearest Fast Travel Point: OCI Upper Exterior
  • Nearest Point of Interest: Marauder Stronghold
  • Special Delivery is a heavy weapon that acts as a rocket launcher (the only one in the game); it is extremely powerful.
  • Glitch warning: Some players have reported Charles not spawning, making it impossible to get Special Delivery. If this happens to you, reload to an earlier save.

In the Marauder Stronghold, you'll meet a Marauder named Charles from Accounting right in the center of it — you can't miss him, since he is wearing a Moon Man helmet... and firing at you with a rocket launcher! You must kill him.


After he is dead, loot his body for Special Delivery.


P.E.T.

  • Location: Gorgon
  • Region: Gorgon Canyon
  • Nearest Fast Travel Point: OCI Upper Exterior
  • Nearest Point of Interest: Secret Hideout
  • The P.E.T. is a melee weapon that can draw the enemies to you instead of chasing them.

You’ll obtain this as a reward for completing the Side Quest "A Dialog Between Dead Men", which you will acquire by interacting with the Secret Hideout door, which is located Northwest of the "OCI Upper Exterior" Fast Travel Point across a bridge.

After finding the 4 comic book issues, you will need to correctly answer four questions on a terminal (or have a 150 Hack skill to bypass). The answers are as follows:

  • [Sissak Sassafrass, Spindle Knight of Olympus]
  • [His best friend, Frankie Gat the Living Gun]
  • [Tricking Archibald with his dastardly Mind Control Ray!]
  • [With a bold lightning from above!]

Once you have unlocked the door, you can find the P.E.T. lying on a red table in the back. Pick it up, then it is yours.


Employee Benefits

  • Location: Olympus
  • Region: Olympus Orbital Pharmaceutical Station
  • Nearest Fast Travel Point:
  • Nearest Point of Interest: Station Laboratory (2nd floor)
  • Note: This can be obtained during "The Man in High Orbit" Main Quest.
  • Employee Benefits is a pistol that heals.

On the 2nd floor of the Station, you’ll need to get in the room where the quest marker is. You'll either need to grab the Olympus Orbital Station Keycard in a Southwestern most room on the map or you’ll need 60 Lockpick skill to enter the room.


Once inside, you'll meet Dr. Jasper Low with the Employee Benefits weapon in his pocket. To get it, you can do one of a few things: 1) crouch down behind him and pickpocket the weapon (like the image), 2) loot his corpse after killing him or 3) get it as a reward for completing the Quest objective he gives you.

Once you have all three Science weapons, the trophy will pop.

*MISSABLE*
 
There are three science weapons to collect in this DLC, the first of which is missable. 
 
Special Delivery - in the southeastern corner of Gorgon is a Marauder Stronghold you can enter. Inside is a guy called Charles From Accounting, who is hard to miss because of his big bubble helmet. Kill him and loot Special Delivery from his corpse. Note that if you don't loot him and fast travel away, causing his body to despawn, this weapon will be unobtainable. 
 
P.E.T - east of the Gorgon Ruins (you'll pass through during the story) is a Secret Hideaway with a locked door and a terminal outside. Interact with the terminal to be given the side quest 'A Dialogue Between Dead Men' which requires you to collect four magazines around Gorgon. They're all marked on your map, so simply go to each location and collect them all. The one at Maurice's Research Site can be problematic to reach since it isn't obvious how to get there. To do so, fast travel to the OCI Upper Exterior (you'll end up there during the story) and head left into a corner between two buildings where there is a hidden path. Take it to the right, avoiding/shooting all of the mines, and you'll end up at Maurice's Research Site. Once you have all four magazines, return to the terminal and you'll be given a quiz to take. The correct responses are the ones with the following bits of information in them: Spindle Knight of Olympus, His Own Mother, Mind Control Ray, and Lightning From Above. Completing the quiz opens the door to loot this weapon. 
 
Employee Benefits - this one is in the possession of Jasper Low, who you will unavoidably meet during the story. You have three options to get it from him: he will give it to you without any real effort (I didn't have to persuade him or anything), you can kill him and loot his corpse, or you can pickpocket him. Any option will also progress the story without issue, so choose whichever you want.

You need to get 3 guns:
1 From Jasper Lowe on the story quest (you can also from his corpse)
2 By add. Quest “Dialogue of the Dead”
3 In the southeast in the marauder camp, kill Charles
