Ant Misbehavin'

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Non-Optional objectives
Kill all ants in the generator room. Restart the 2 array generators, then reset the main breaker.

Optional objectives
Loyal may have something to help with the ants. Place Loyal's sonic generator on the ant mound.

Detailed walkthrough
This is a fairly straightforward mission. Begin by talking to Racquel to receive the quest. She'll inform you that there is an ant infestation in their communications array building. You'll want to visit Loyal in the barracks in order to complete the optional mission of installing the sonic emitter. When you meet him, you'll need to ask him for the emitter through the speech options. With the sonic emitter in hand, walk to the Array location near the Eastern side of the base. Racquel will have given you a key when you get the quest from her that allows you entrance into the building.

The ants inside are of a fairly low level and shouldn't present much of a problem. If you enter from the West side, take the first left and go down into the basement through the stairs. The first room of the basement is fairly empty except for the ants. The second area contains the ants nest (in order to place Loyal's sonic device) as well as the two array generators. Kill the ants and place the sonic device on the ant hill (the dirt pile closest to the Thump Thump grenade launcher in the Western side ) and flip the two array generator switches on the East wall. The final switch is on the stairs that you descended to get to the bottom floor. Once you have flipped the switches, return to Racquel to complete the quest.

The Thump Thump grenade launcher is found in the room next to the ant mound (near a skeleton) on the bottom floor. There are also several shelves on the Eastern side of the bottom floor. These shelves contain ammo boxes as well as many cartons of ammo in several different rifle and handgun rounds. On the first floor, there are several dead Boomer soldiers that can be looted for Boomer armor, helmets, ammo, and standard grenade launchers.

Keep in mind the quest will not be available once "Volare!" is completed, the only speech option you'll have afterwards is "See you later". Therefore, this quest is impossible to trigger.
