Fallout: New Vegas Hints
Kill General Oliver and the soldiers guarding him.
1 of 9: Turn right and run down to where some desks block a passage, then get out your scoped rifle and crouch down, facing the way you came. Watch for Oliver's goons to appear, and quickly snipe them down as they do.
2 of 9: After they stop coming, go down to the west end of the area, looking for more targets. There'll probably be two more on the upper floor, so get to where you can snipe them down.
3 of 9: Go through the doorway that's in the west wall, then go down the hall until you reach a side area with two bathrooms. Heal up by sipping from their sinks, then continue down the hall until you exit it near the base of some stairs.
4 of 9: Go up those stairs, then go up the next two sets of stairs that start nearby to reach another area full of cubicles. Enter the room and look to the left, waiting if necessary for an NCR trooper to run into view. He may not actually be hostile for some reason, but go ahead and shoot him down.
5 of 9: Go up to the north wall and turn left, then wait for the other trooper in the area to appear down at the other end of the room. Snipe him down, then crouch down and walk toward his position very slowly, watching for traps.
6 of 9: There's a tripwire followed by a cluster of bear traps, followed by another tripwire. After that are some frag mines, then some more bear traps, another tripwire, and a whole lot more frag mines.
7 of 9: Sneak up the first set of steps, then stop. Drop several mines in a tight cluster next to the bottom of the next set of steps, then go back and set another mine cluster just past the bottom of the first set of steps. You'll also want to set another cluster or two farther down the hallway that you de-trapped. Just make sure no cluster is close enough to another one to detonate it when it blows.
8 of 9: Go back up the first set of steps, then crouch down and get out your sniper rifle. If you brought a stealth boy, activate it. Go up the second set of steps and watch the door on the other side of the area ahead.
9 of 9: When General Oliver opens the door, snipe him in the head, then start in on his heavy troopers. Get as many as you can before they charge you, then stand up and run back down the stairs. You'll want to lead them across your mines, staying far enough ahead that you don't get caught up in the explosions.
