Your guide to Fallout 2's Vault 13! Discover talking Deathclaws, essential computer parts, and the vital G.E.C.K. needed to save Arroyo. Learn how to enter and complete your mission.

Alright, so you've heard about Vault 13, right? It's a pretty big deal in Fallout 2 because it's where you'll find the G.E.C.K. – the thing your village, Arroyo, desperately needs to survive. But it's not just a treasure chest; it's also home to a group of talking Deathclaws. Don't let the 'talking' part fool you, though. These guys are just as dangerous in a fight as any other Deathclaw you've met, but they're super intelligent and can mimic human speech. It's a weird place, but you gotta go in there to get what you need.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter Vault 13: First things first, you need a voice recognition module to get inside. If you don't have one already, you can try finding it in Vault City (check the earlier sections of the guide for that) or, if you're short on time and have the cash, you can buy one from Eldridge for $1500.
  2. 2
    Fix the Computer: Once you're inside, your main goal is to get to the third floor. There, you'll find a computer that needs fixing. Use the recognition module you brought with you on this computer to get it up and running.
  3. 3
    Get the Navigation Computer Parts: After the computer is fixed, you'll need to locate and retrieve the necessary parts for the Navigation Computer.
  4. 4
    Get the G.E.C.K.: The ultimate prize is the G.E.C.K. Make sure you grab it for Arroyo!
