Fallout 2 Hints
How can I turn off all of the forcefields?
1 of 5: The base must have a power source somewhere.
2 of 5: Look in the high-voltage area to the northeast of the above ground area.
3 of 5: There's a switch down a ladder there.
4 of 5: Flip the switch to turn off the main power. The backup generators will kick in -- which means the forcefields will weaken but not turn off completely. You can still walk through them, as long as you're willing to take a little damage.
5 of 5: But note that you can't "repair" a weakened forcefield. So unless you have a low repair skill, I'd just recommend disabling the fields one at a time as you need to.
