help with NCR train bombing

Post » Sat Aug 07, 2010 12:04 am

On the mission you have to caught a mole in NCR base, and defuse the bomb. When I try the silent approach, the quest did not update, couldnt catch the guy on the act. I wait for more than from 1:00 AM til 7:00 AM game time, nothing happen. Is is a bug or I forgot to do something.
Then I kill the spy guy, report back to the captain, make a run for the train, couldnt get in, and always late. What happen here?does any one know???

After getting the spy's deactivation code:

Spoiler
go directly to the train and de-activate the bomb - do not pass Go, and do not stop to talk to anyone.

What I did was wait outside where the spy can not see me. If he does then he won't head to the tower. Wait for him to enter then follow him in and do your thing. I wasn't aware that we could stop that bomb but NCR does get the train working again.

I also hide and wait for the spy to go inside and I hide at the bottom step. I found out that if you hide long enough to catch him radio the plot and you can run right to the train and save it. But anyway, I already pass the quest, cant wait any more. lol thx for the advice anyway.

The quest is bugged and does not run properly unless completed in EXACTLY the right order.

Hsu says there's a spy
ask the old first recon guy about it (one with the unique repeater), he'll say he saw someone in there @ 1AM.
Do NOT talk to anyone about it, just go to the tower, wait til the guy goes in, go stealth mode (don't need much/any skill), sit inside while he talks, leave, do not confront the spy, run to the train and disarm the bomb needs like 35 explosives and 55 science, THEN talk to Hsu and he'll tell you to arrest the spy.

If the spy isn't talking it's because you spoke with the mole about it and broke the quest. Reload if he's just sitting there isn't not going to change.
