apparently I'm not allowed to ask the question. Sorry. I don't even know what a "spoiler" forum is.

PsychoJet, it took me two tries but i talked his goons down and then blasted him in the face with the combat rifle before he could kill kent. Its really worth trying to save him for the upgraded costume

This belongs in the spoiler forum. But I definteily remember that you don't even have to pass speech checks to get his goons off you, you just need to keep speaking as shroud, and finally intimdate as shroud, and his goons will run away. Your only chance to save kent is to hit VATS as soon as dialogue ends, and blow off Sinjin's head with a drug induced crit. either that or lower difficulty and a lot of luck.

No drugs! Besides, don't know how to use them. Like I said. No matter what I'm wearing or doing, they just attack me and kill Kent (I've tried over 50 times). Plus, what's this about robots and raiders fighting?

One character I was able to VATS headshot everyone up with Kent, other char I did the "kill me instead" option and ducked behind the junk to the left coming out of elevator and just killed them like any other group of raiders.

I don't even get to speak before they start shooting and, fine, I'll remove the post. I am not going to post on a "spoiler" forum. I don't even know what that is.

I don't think its possible without using psychojet. And you just activate it in your inventory (i think thats what your asking about anyways). Also don't know about the raiders fighting robots, iirc that room just has raiders in it, and your forced into a conversation as soon as you walk in.

I walked in there with full power armor. The mistake I made the first time was that I took down Sinjin with a headshot without talking to him, Kent died. Next time, I walked in and he said something and they all opened fire. All focused on me though, so Kent just sat there, all tied up and forgotten. I was afraid he would die in the crossfire, but he didn't. I think I forgot to drop my calling card though... hmm, at least I saved Kent and completed the quest. LOL

If you are discussing specific quest details (you even mention spoilers in your heading) you should post here:http://www.gamesas.com/forum/326-fallout-4-cheats-spoilers-hints/

You tell him to kill you instead, and then when he tries, you shoot him.

Kent will be safe during the battle as long as he is trying to kill you.

A mod will move it for you. Are you doing the quest the proper way? ie doing the silver shroud quest one by one until you get to that part. Your posts made it sound like you stumbled across that hospital on your own.

When you click on http://www.gamesas.com/forum/324-fallout-4/, you will see that there are 4 sections to this forum.

And yes, you are allowed to ask questions. Just make sure to post in the right sub-forum. Also, a mod would have eventually moved your post, so no worries.

Again. Sorry. Won't do it again.

There's three ways of doing this without using drugs.

1. Pass the check to get them to attack you first.

2. Pass the check (or talk as Shroud) to scare the other guys and kill the target fast enough.

3. Or, with either good luck, or Mac's glitched perk, and a powerful headshot weapon... Target each one in VATS instead of talking to them but do it in a very specific order. Main guy should be first and the guy by him second. The one by the stairs third and the last guy is to your right (that guy almost always attacks you due to you being the closes target so he has to be last). I didn't try but it might be possible to have a companion and tell them to move up to the 3rd guy so when they do engage combat, the 3rd guy will be aiming at your companion instead of Kent. Meaning, only two people you need to kill fast enough.

This is too complicated. I think I'll just let Kent die again. It's not worth the trouble.

Was he part of a different quest? I just killed my way up the building once I got the rescue mission from the posers in the radio station.
