Fallout: New Vegas Hints

Find Gloria Van Graff at the Silver Rush in Freeside and make that bitch ....

  • 1 of 8: Gloria Van Graff is inside the Silver Rush building in Freeside's second section.
  • 2 of 8: This one is really going to be a pain. Your weapons are confiscated as you go in, and there are five guards inside besides Gloria and Jean-Baptiste Cutting.
  • 3 of 8: The first thing you'll want to do is see the "Energy Weapon Smorgasbord" undocumented quest for a way to arm yourself and Cass. (Or you could do the first few objectives of the "Birds of a Feather" NCR/Freeside faction quest so you can enter the Silver Rush without having your weapons confiscated.)
  • 4 of 8: Next, you might want to try pickpocket-giving Gloria and Jean-Baptiste grenades or mines to blow them up. This would be very hard to do without turning everyone hostile, though.
  • 5 of 8: One thing you could do is steal all the loose plasma mines and set some near the bathroom side area's entrance doorway, and some further in. Get out a powerful weapon like the plasma caster and start blasting the nearest thug from the side area's doorway.
  • 6 of 8: Try to kill one before the others come after you, then quickly run into the back bathroom and wait there facing the door for survivors to come after you. It would help if Cass had some good armor to wear, and if you'd taken helpful chems right before combat.
  • 7 of 8: You'd have a lot more room to retreat and set a trail of mines if you could unlock the door in the west corner of the main area. In order to get a key, go back outside and pickpocket the thug that's next to the entrance.
  • 8 of 8: If you're stealthy enough (or use a Stealth Boy), you could use powerful silent weapons (like a silenced sniper rifle loaded with armor-piercing rounds) to kill off the thugs one by one without everyone turning hostile. That would give you a big advantage over Gloria and Jean-Baptiste once they're all that's left, especially if you start the combat by dealing one of them a sneak-attack critical.
