Detailed Fallout Tactics walkthrough covering the Coldwater mission, including enemy encounters, item locations, side quests like assassinating Ma Baker, and strategic tips for progression.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The room next to the current one contains foes behind a bunker. They are easily defeated with current gear and incendiary grenades.
  2. 2
    In this tier, you'll encounter a cockroach race and Don Vinchenzo, who tasks you with killing Ma Baker for a reward.
  3. 3
    Proceed through the SW rooms and exit to a nearby bar. The bartender offers trades.
  4. 4
    The building SE of the bar is a shop selling weapons and a science book.
  5. 5
    Return to the stairs near the 2 raiders you killed, behind the bunker by the church, to access Tier 2.
  6. 6
    The NW room at the top of the stairs is occupied by raiders, including a grenadier.
  7. 7
    After dealing with the raiders, head SE to the bar. A man named Simon asks you to rescue his sister.
  8. 8
    Follow Simon to a room containing his sister and an enemy. Defeat the enemy and speak to Simon for a small reward.
  9. 9
    Go to the SE-most building. You'll need to go outside and shoot enemies through the windows. Beware of a grenadier. Inside, find a crate with guns and ammo.
  10. 10
    Return NW to the casino. The bartender offers trades for items, and some patrons have ring pulls for gambling or stealing.
  11. 11
    At the SW entrance of the casino, 2 guards will ambush you. Use grenades from the doorway for safety.
  12. 12
    Move SW from the casino to find a room with 2 crates and a guard. Eliminate the guard and loot the crates for weapons and grenades.
  13. 13
    Around the corner, unlock a room containing a .50 cal weapon and a trauma pack.
  14. 14
    Head for Tier 3 using the stairs located next to the stairs between Tier 1 and Tier 2.
  15. 15
    In the NW room of Tier 3, defeat 2 rifle-wielding enemies.
  16. 16
    Head SE to find more guards and Ma Baker. Don Vinchenzo wants her dead. Ma Baker will trade with you.
  17. 17
    To kill Ma Baker without a fight, use drugs or trauma packs on her to cause death by damage or overdose.
Tips
  • Jason Wang notes that Ma Baker is an undercover Brotherhood squad leader. Commander Dekker also mentions wearing a black suit, similar to Don's instructions. Don's reward may not be worth the effort, and Ma Baker has a history of drug use and trauma. You can choose to kill her or not.
  • Josemaria Hernandez suggests not killing Ma Baker for a potential additional 5000 XP at the mission's end, on top of the base mission XP.
