Start I Could Make You Care in fallout new vegas by triggering Veronica's dialogue in three locations. Find proof to change the Brotherhood of Steel.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After Veronica comments in three distinct locations, she will ask you to take her back to Hidden Valley.
  2. 2
    Speak with Elder McNamara in the Hidden Valley bunker. Veronica will attempt to convince him, but will ultimately fail.
  3. 3
    Veronica will then suggest finding irrefutable proof that the Brotherhood of Steel is wrong, specifically pre-war technology.
  4. 4
    Leave the Hidden Valley bunker and travel south-west from HELIOS One to find Gibson's shack.
  5. 5
    Interact with the “Comm Station Terminal” in Gibson's shack to learn about three potential technologies: Euclid’s C-Finder (connected to HELIOS One), new farming technology (linked to Vault 22), or a Pulse Gun (stored in Vault 34).
  6. 6
    Note: If you did not activate Archimedes II during the HELIOS One quest, you cannot recover Euclid’s C-Finder. If you completed the Vault 22 quest, There Stands the Grass, by destroying or giving the data to Hildern, the farming technology option is unavailable.
  7. 7
    The most accessible option is often the Pulse Gun, located in Vault 34. To find its location, go to Nellis Air Force Base and search a Filing Cabinet in Pearl’s Barracks for the note “Inventory Transfer Order”. This note requires a [Very Hard] lockpick to bypass and indicates Vault 34 as the Pulse Gun's location.
  8. 8
    If you choose to pursue Euclid’s C-Finder or the farming technology, refer to the HELIOS One or Vault 22 sections of the guide, respectively.
  9. 9
    If following the Pulse Gun path, your next objective is Vault 34.
  10. 10
    Before heading to Vault 34, fast-travel to the NCR Sharecropper Farms, located south of the Gun Runners stall.
  11. 11
    Inside the Sharecropper Barracks building in the north-eastern corner, you can find a Chinese Army: Spec. Ops. Training Manual and a First Aid Box [Easy].
  12. 12
    Speak with Morgan Blake in the Sharecropper Barracks. She will ask you to investigate a nearby pump station for water contamination, initiating the quest Hard Luck Blues.
  13. 13
    Travel east and slightly north from the NCR Sharecropper Farms to find the East Pump Station.
  14. 14
    Inside the East Pump Station, interact with the “Pump Station Terminal” and pass a [Science 50] check to repair the network connection. The terminal will reveal a radiation leak polluting the water.
  15. 15
    From the East Pump Station, travel east-south-east to find Vault 34, located behind some hills east of the road north from the Grub n’ Gulp Rest Stop.
  16. 16
    Be prepared to encounter Golden Geckos near the entrance of Vault 34.
  17. 17
    South-west of Vault 34, you will discover Cannibal Johnson’s Cave.
  18. 18
    Enter Cannibal Johnson’s Cave. Speak with Cannibal Johnson and succeed at a [Speech 30] check to learn about his past. Loot the cave for a Sunset Sarsaparilla Crate, an Enclave Footlocker [Average], and a copy of Grognak the Barbarian.
  19. 19
    Return to the entrance of Vault 34.

Warning: Vault 34 is heavily irradiated. An Advanced Radiation Suit is highly recommended. Bring plenty of Rad-X and RadAway, especially if playing on Hardcore Mode.

Tips
  • If you have already completed the necessary steps for Euclid’s C-Finder or the farming technology, you can pursue those options instead of the Pulse Gun.
  • Ratslayer and stealth are effective for clearing out the Golden Geckos near Vault 34.
