Wild Card: You and What Army?



Wild Card: You and What Army is a main quest in Fallout: New Vegas. Yes Man sends the Courier to the Fort to activate an army of dormant Securitrons.

Synopsis
It is exceedingly difficult to secure an Independent Vegas without a proper army; therefore Yes Man sends the Courier to Fortification Hill to activate the hundreds of Securitrons beneath it.

Detailed walkthrough
Wild Card: You and What Army? is started by talking to Yes Man in the rear of Benny's presidential suite on the 13th floor of The Tops Casino.

The bunker is inside the weather station at the Fort. To gain access, have Caesar give you an optional part of the quest: to find the bunker and destroy it. If you accept, he will let you enter, at which point you can either destroy the army or activate it; Caesar will assume that the rumbling of the army activating was whatever you used to destroy it.

Option 1: Upgrade securitrons
Traverse the Securitron vault and enter the door labeled "SYSTEMS ROOM". It can be found up the stairs in the hallway farthest west. Insert the platinum chip into the Securitron Operations Console.

Option 2: Disable reactors
To disable the reactors, simply fire two rounds into each of the 3 reactor modules.

Behind the scenes
'You and what army?' is a phrase used to respond to a threat by implying that the threat is a weak one.

Bugs

 * If you pass the Speech check for meds with the guard at the front gate, your weapons will not be confiscated either. This leads to becoming trapped in the weather station, with the guard saying it's okay to leave but not actually unlocking the door. Excluding console commands, the only way to get out is to sneak attack the door guard and take his key; a good position for the sneak attack is the stairway leading to the vault, as the Praetorian guards can't see you no matter your Sneak skill. (FIXED v. 1.4)
 * A bug may occur where you are unable to engage in conversation with Caesar and/or Vulpes Inculta. The screen will zoom in on him, then instantly zoom out.
