Arizona Killer

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
Find and meet with Cato Hostilius. Assassinate President Kimball.

Detailed Walkthrough
Before you can do anything, you need to find and meet with Cato Hostilius. There is a glitch in the game, first, you are not told exactly where he is, and second, if you check the map before you leave Caesar's camp, then it will say that Cato is at the gate. First leave the camp, then check your map again. The easiest way to find Cato is to fast travel to Camp Forlorn Hope (an NCR camp), and head directly north for about 30 seconds. He's by himself with a makeshift bed next to him.

How to get out alive

 * Go down the hatch after killing the NCR President.
 * Go out the door and turn right (not left!)
 * Go into the doors of the next tower.
 * Go down the elevator on your right when you walk in the door.
 * NOTE: All the NCR Troopers will ignore you since you still have your NCR uniform on.
 * Go out to the hallway, take a right down the hallway.
 * Turn left and follow the hall (past the troopers) to the door (named "Hoover Dam Power Plant 01").
 * Open the door and you will be in the big open power room.
 * Turn right, walk straight, take the elevator on your left to the Visitor's Lobby.
 * Look ahead and to the right, you will see double blue-gray colored doors. There are Heavy Troopers and NCR Troopers, but they won't bother you since you're disguised as an NCR Trooper (or NCR Ranger). Just walk to the doors and go out.
 * There is a Ranger right outside the doors, that is the same place you came in. Be ready to kill him.
 * Once you kill that one ranger, you're off scott-free. No one will follow you, not even the Ranger's dog.
 * Get to the middle of the bridge, take off your NCR uniform, and fast travel out of there.

Important!

 * Remove the NCR uniform or Caesar's Legion will attack you if you go right to The Fort!
 * I wasn't thinking and left it on, and they all attacked me - even Caesar, even though I changed right away upon arriving. The Legion killed me and I had to do the mission again from my save. It's easy after you do it once.

Note

 * When you get to the tower with the Ranger, you need to kill him before he takes a shot. I suggest to use VATS for this one (press V on PC). You'll need to get a head shot with a sniper, that blows his head off before he has a chance to get a shot off. The game will autosave at the top of the tower so you can try again if you didn't succeed. If you succeeded in killing the Ranger quietly, then when you crouch it will say "HIDDEN". If you did not succeed, when you crouch it will say "CAUTION" or "DANGER". If it doesn't say "HIDDEN" you need to restart at the autosave, and try to kill the Ranger more quietly.

Other Walkthrough
There are many paths available for the assassination. It's best to either have your companions wait or be at the Lucky 38 because as soon as you're in view, the NCR starts shooting at you.Go to Cato at his camp. After you wait, you will have the choice of either rigging the Vertibird, (50 Explosive skill needed), or taking out the President yourself. After which Cato will give you a Trooper Costume and explain how to use it. When you're going to the Dam, be sure none of the Rangers see you, otherwise they will see right through your disguise and start shooting at you. After about a 5-10 minute wait, the President will arrive. You now have the choice to:
 * Use the direct approach of assaulting or sniping the president once he lands, easily completes the assignment, but makes escape difficult. After you kill the President, all NCR soldiers nearby will come after you. Either kill them all or run.
 * Speak to the other assassin (explosives skill 50 required) can provide a bomb to plant on the Vertibird during the speech.
 * Find the console outside, east of the visitor center door, up the top of the stairs, and use it to either rig the AA cannon to explode (Repair skill 50 required), or shoot his Vertibird down as soon as it flies in, which is said to be the fastest way(Science skill 50 required).
 * Hack the terminal inside the visitors centre to alter the Vertibirds flight plan. This will cause it to go into a tail spin and crash after the president gets back on-board. However doing this will turn all the guards hostile. It's advised you hack the terminal, inform Cato you are ready and then hide nearby - away from armed guards. Don't leave the area as this will result in a quest failure.
 * Find the soldier next to the stage without his helmet and rig it to blow. His helmet is located on a table next to the stairs below the visitor centre. Carefully approach the helmet while the guard is away and you will get the option (provided you have some C4 + detonator) to rig the helmet to explode(50 Explosive skill is needed).Tell the soldier where it is and he will retrieve his helmet and return to the stage. Find a safe location while the president is speaking and set off the C4.
 * Run past the stage on the far left side and climb the first tower; once there kill the ranger on top quietly. You can then wait there for the president to arrive and begin his speech, then take him out long range. A sniper rifle works well for this, but Euclid's C Finder is extremely effective, and will take out almost everyone one and around the stage in one shot and will yield a very high amount of experience.

After you kill the president and kill/lose the NCR soldiers, if need be, go back to Lucius. An important thing to note is to unequip the disguise before returning!
