Fallout: New Vegas Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

(Optional) Sneak out of the Vault's chamber area undetected, trapping ....

  • 1 of 5: As soon as you regain control, turn around and open the now-unlocked vault door.
  • 2 of 5: Crouch down and sneak-run SE from the vault door, getting to the stairs that lead into the enclosed structure as quickly as you can.
  • 3 of 5: If you were fast and sneaky enough, you'll make it into the enclosed structure before the force fields go back up. If you don't make it, restore a save and try again, maybe running this time instead of sneak-running.
  • 4 of 5: If you can't ever manage it, you'll have to switch to doing the "Defeat Elijah" objective. If you do make it, you can get a *huge* head start on doing the "Escape the Sierra Madre Vault before your collar explodes" objective.
  • 5 of 5: Also note that this objective can be used to get all of those heavy gold bars out of the vault, though it's fairly difficult to pull that off.
