Master the pseudo James Bond approach in Fallout with this detailed guide. Learn how to infiltrate the military base, bypass guards, and access computer systems.
Walkthrough
- 1When entering the military base, save your game.
- 2Don Power Armor and equip a weapon and your radio in active slots.
- 3Approach the guard and claim to be a special mutant or a member of the Cathedral (requires high speech skill).
- 4Use the radio to draw off three of the four guards with the following dialogue:
- Radio: Command to patrol, command to patrol. What is your status? Over.
- 5You: Command, we are under attack by a large group of armed humans. Request assistance. Over.
- 6Radio: Understood, patrol. What are your coordinates?
- 7You: 4 miles, south-southwest.
- 8Radio: Understood, patrol. We are sending reinforcements.
- 9Alternatively, use the radio with the dialogue: "help...heavy attackers...coordinates 10...argh!" to draw off mutants.
- 10The remaining guard by the door will stay. Talk to him and claim to be a special mutant for the master.
- 11Use electronic lock picks on the locked door in front of the mutant. Save your game before attempting.
- 12If lock picks fail, steal the mutant's stimpacks and holodisk from behind him. Read the holodisk for the door code.
- 13If the mutant catches you stealing, reload and try again. If repeated attempts fail, kill the mutant in less than three turns using a burst weapon like the combat shotgun to avoid alerting the base.
- 14Open the lockpicked door. You will encounter two forcefields that cause damage (7-15 with Power Armor, 18-25 with robes).
- 15Proceed to the computer complex on the right, guarded by a mutant with a rocket launcher.
- 16(Refer to ASCII map for navigation). The right computer complex console is described as "computer".
- 17For the left computer complex, follow passageways to the north. Use the Science skill on the Mach IV computers to disable sensors, or modify pest control and movement security options.
- 18Exit the left computer complex through the left side. Two non-hostile robobrains guard the area.
- 19Take the elevator to level 2 (main armory). Loot lockers on this level.
- 20Return to the elevator and go to level 3. Immediately put on COC robes.
- 21Head right (character's left) to encounter a mutant walking to the elevator. The robes will make him perceive you as a COC tech, and you will be ignored.
- 22Head south to find a super mutant guarding the holding chamber. Talk to him, ask about the place, and thank him. Proceed to level 4.
- 23Upon entering level 4, you will receive 2000 XP for reaching this point undetected.
- 24Go left and straight up to the control room with computers. A COC tech in Purple Robes guards the area; they will surrender.
- 25In the northeast quadrant, find the "Vats Control Computer". Use it and select a security code for a silent self-destruct sequence (e.g., 67209-5574-7805564 for 270 seconds, or 31914-1041-1251514 for 300 seconds).
Tips
- For an extra 1000 XP, a minigun, ammo, and stimpacks, use 'Repair' and 'Science' skills on the robot near the elevator to blow up the forcefield emitter leading to the Vats.
- If you encounter problems, save your game and scout the area.
- The ASCII map provided in the source text can aid navigation.
- 2000 XP for reaching level 4 undetected.
- Potential for 1000 XP, a minigun, ammo, and stimpacks by interacting with a specific robot.
- Access to security codes for a silent self-destruct sequence.
