Area 51 - Above Ground

Primary Objectives:

• Get access to the Area 51 Bunker.
• Get past the blast doors north of the helipad.

Kill the sniper atop the west tower. To the north are two bots on patrol. A long range shot of the GEP Gun would be good from the helipad. Behind you, to the east is a shack and a stack of truck trailers. If you can manage to get atop the trailers the dead body seen below has a weaponmod: accuracy.

The shack houses a few items. Run northeast and enter the command 24 bunker. If you haven't killed Walton Simons yet, this is your last chance. Grab the goods inside the bunker, the nano key by the dead guard, and blast apart the lockers near the entrance. Use your key ring to open the hatch leading to a storage area down below. In there you will find a datacube with a security login and a locked up augmentation upgrade canister. Leave the bunker and run southwest to the sniper tower. Open the door at its base.

Disarm the LAMs in the ladder openings. Beneath the tower is storage. At its top you'll want to login to the security terminal and use it to open the blast doors. Enter the blast doors on the north side, or consider Hangar 37A northwest of the tower. Kill a few guards inside, search the remains of the shack, then climb atop its roof using one of the fallen steel beams. You can talk to the guy hiding on the second floor of the shack.

Pick open the access door to the vent system south of the shack or if you can manage to get atop it open the grate. Destroy the fan and drop in. Swimming down the tunnel to the north leads to a dead guard with a weaponmod: laser and a scramble grenade. Follow the simple path and keep going down until you reach the bunker entrance.

If you chose to enter through the blast doors hack the terminal to the left or disable the camera straight ahead. You should probably do something about the two security bots that patrol each hall. Head to the right and check for goods then enter the generator room to the northeast.

Secondary Objective:

• Bring up the power to the elevator system in order to access Page's bunker below.

Either "open" the door or go in from the roof by entering the room in the southeast corner. Turn on the power then run west to the lift. Take it all the way down. If you're short on bioelectric cells send the lift back up and search the body under the lift. Open the big doors and proceed.
