Fallout: New Vegas Hints
How can I get rid of Dobson by using the radio?
1 of 5: Try activating it and seeing what options you get.
2 of 5: You can rig the radio to explode the next time it's used (Repair 60+), or you can smash it.
3 of 5: You shouldn't do either one when Dobson can see you. If he's in the bunker, use the game's Wait feature to pass the time until he leaves.
4 of 5: Or if your Speech skill is 40+, you can rig the radio to explode, then let Dobson talk to you about it. Lie and say you fixed the radio, then run away from it while he uses it and gets killed.
5 of 5: For smashing the radio to be of value, you have to wait until Dobson is outside. Smashing the radio then will instantly complete the objective.
