Details for the *pseudo* James Bond Approach (2)

Follow this Fallout walkthrough to arm the nuke using the Lieutenant's Key, a variation of the James Bond approach. Requires good lockpick skill!

Alright, so this is a slightly different take on the James Bond approach, and honestly, it's pretty similar to the original one. The main twist here is that you'll need the Lieutenant's key to actually arm the nuke. Don't worry about Vree's holodisc for this one, though.

First things first, when you make it to the third level, head south and then west. You're looking for a room that's absolutely crawling with Super Mutants. Once you're in there, use your electronic lockpicks on the locked door. If you're short on those, no sweat – you can snag some on the fourth floor of the Cathedral.

After you've gotten that door locked down, it's time to tackle the elevator door. You won't be able to use your picks on this one, so just open it up. Hop into the elevator and head down to the fourth level. When you get there, you'll find another door that your lockpicks just won't work on. Open it up, and then make sure you equip that Lieutenant's key into one of your active item slots. Switch to combat mode, interact with the atomic computer to use the key, and then slap on your power armor. You'll need to take out the two mutants that show up. Once they're toast, ditch the power armor and make your escape from the Cathedral.

Quick Tip: You're going to need a solid lockpick skill for this. Seriously, electronic lockpicks are your best friend here. I managed it with about 80% skill, but I'm pretty sure anything 60% or lower just isn't going to cut it.
