Fallout: New Vegas Hints
(Optional) Release the waiting Legion reinforcements inside the intake tower.
1 of 5: Get a scoped weapon out and exit the checkpoint through its western door, then look to the left for a sniper on top of a guard tower.
2 of 5: Take him down, then turn to the right and shoot the two troopers who are over near the Hoover Dam Intake Tower 01 door.
3 of 5: Move on down the dam slowly, watching for another sniper on top of the next guard tower on the left. If taking him down doesn't finish the sniper optional objective, enter the first guard tower, go up its stairs, and then climb the ladder onto the roof.
4 of 5: Once that's done, enter the Hoover Dam Intake Tower 01 area and use the terminal on the wall to unlock the maintenance hatch.
5 of 5: NOTE: When talking to the centurion, you can pass difficult Speech checks to get him to dedicate his forces to either the dam top or the power plant instead of dividing them between the two. If you can, have him send all of his forces to the power plant.
