Explosion in Vault 22

[Vatras]

I have a small problem in Vault 22, when doing the job to ignite the gas. I dont have any remote charges (and cannot go get some, because the door to the outside is locked), and a direct hit with a laser infallibly kills me. I hit on the idea to lay a path of mines, throw a grenade around the corner and close the doors - didn't work, the blast killed me through the closed door anyway.

 

So - is there a way to leave the vault to get me C4, or am I overlooking something obvious? The search on the web found a posting, that claims he closed the door and lived, which definitely did not work. Otherwise my search came up with such enlightening results as "all the vaults are easy"...

Well, what I did were to throw a frag grenade, and then run into the room with the computer (where those big red computer thingies also are) and then close the doors, since the fire can't get through there.

Here's what I did: I got me a Frag 'Nade, a dose of Turbo, and about 5-6 Purified Waters. I went where that junk was blocking the hallway, chugged the waters so I had some Heal over Time in case I was caught in the blast, chucked the grenade over, popped a dose of Turbo, and booked it towards the elevator. I took maybe a little damage, but the Turbo induced bullet-time got me in the clear.

I used the dynamite with the long fuse and made it back to the elevator just in time.

i had this same problem but, if you dont have any grenades on you, there are some in the duffle bag in the corner of the room with the ghoul girl, on the second level, where she is in the lab.

I finally made it with the help of a turbo :)

 

(Since I didn't ever find a description what it actually does, it was collecting dust in my inventory.)

Personally I lobbed a grenade around the corner and went in to the computer room and closed the doors, as for some reason it's more hardened. I was stumped at first too.

Easy! do you have a laser weapon if not use a grenade.

 

go to the computer room where you were asked to download the information

 

go to the dor step inside.

 

now save.

 

this can be a lil tricky if youre not a little quick.

 

once inside the room shut the door and shoot as the door is shutting.

 

it will set the gas of while keeping you safe behind a door. same strategy with the grenade.

Uhm....why is everyone making this so hard?

The room RIGHT by the vents...yeh that one. Go in there..chuck frag into hallway and close the door. Then run to center of room.

Presto...safe. No complicated timing or nothing.

(Long fuse dynamite would make it easier)

 

I saved before i did it...used C4 the first time and stood in the center of that room.

After realizing how easy it was..reloaded my save...and used a frag (C4 is expensive)
