Fallout: New Vegas Hints
What if I can't pick the gates open?
1 of 7: Then you'll have to find the key.
2 of 7: Return to the mine's first room and take its south passage.
3 of 7: After you pass by a couple more locked cells, you'll find a huge room with lots of radioactive barrels in it.
4 of 7: Go around the barrels to get to the west side of the room, where you'll find Alexus standing around.
5 of 7: Talking to him does no good, so crouch down behind him and use the Stealing Tips to pickpocket his storage key.
6 of 7: On the way back to the first room, open up the two cells you pass by to find some supplies.
7 of 7: Back in the prisoner cell room, open the two gates with your purloined key.
