Title: Newton can die before you talk to him

Which softlocks you.  I suggest giving him some personal item that you can return.

It isn’t a softlock, you can just go back to Big Bret and tell him that Newton died.

Have you tried looting his corpse then talking to Big Brett? I've definitely lost Newton and been able to continue the playthrough as normal after telling Big Brett what happened.

It's never happened to me, but I've seen many people claim that newton died before they ever saw him and they couldn't complete the quest.  Maybe they're that dumb, I don't know.

How do you even kill Newton?  ???

No beetle has a patrol path to Newton's corner. And he shouldn't respond to any noises or anything. Unless you somehow lead a beetle to Newton, I don't see how he can die before you talk with him.

Shame on you, Harper, for believing a random nobody instead of Shoggoth

p.s. no I didn't talk to Newton before hand and yes I did loot his body after

Wow, imagine not looting a corpse.

I’ll be fair to this guy who mislead you. If you don’t turn in the hopper quest first then it will not allow you to tell Bret that Newton is dead. I don’t actually know if looting the body is required but this could be the reason this guy was having problems

Fearing a beetle in to him with a Molotov might do it. I think that's how I lost him the one time it happened.
