I've read in 2 walkthroughs that I'm supposed to use a radio or tool on the computer on level one of the military base. But whenever I use either of these on the computer it does nothing. I've tried science, repair, lockpick, everything. The walkthroughs say that this computer shuts down the yellow forcefields that block certain rooms and passageways on the floors. It really hasn't been a problem until I got to the elevator past the room full of traps on the third floor and it was out of service. So does anyone know what I can do? Or am I just completely done for?

An idea I had is that I might be able to blow the yellow fields up with dynamite, but I have no clue where to look for or buy any.

The tool isnt used on a computer - its used on the emmiter just next to the force field. You can use Science on a certain terminal to disable all the fields.

I used the tool on the emitters, and I get a message saying that I have temporarily disabled it, but it still doesn't let me pass through it. Am I still doing something wrong? I feel like an idiot :facepalm:

The emmiter only goes down for a few seconds, if that. you may need to "Succeed" multiple times for the emmiter to go down long enough.

Can't you just destroy the emitter? Or is that not an option?

*ahem*



its an expensive option - not recommended.

I believe the force fields can be TEMPORARILY disabled through explosives. I remember on the second-to-last level of the Military Base, my game glitched and the last field would not disable, even after numerous repair attempts that were supposedly successful. I also couldn't leave because the field behind me re-enabled and also wouldn't respond to repair attempts. I think it was in that room with the friendly mutant and the hippie woman.

I used a trainer to convert a Stimpak into a Stick of Dynamite. :mellow:

Alright thanks for the feedback, I'll see what I can do. I swear next playthrough I'm just gonna level the damn place with all the explosives I can get my hands on.
