Forum:My NEW challenge

Anyone who has played Fallout 3, or at least the main quest, is aware that during it the PC is asked to go to Vault 87 and retrieve the Garden of Eden Creation Kit (Or the G.E.C.K). Basically, the area around this G.E.C.K is surrounded in mass radiation. My challenge is for any player, without the use of cheats (can use exploits), to nab the G.E.C.K and get out with it, or at least until you are 'accosted' by a certain party. I have seen some screenshots of the G.E.C.K, but what I want is either a series of photos or a short video showing a way to nab the G.E.C.K and get out with it, on your own. This has probably been done before, but will be good fun for anyone who wants to attempt it and likely it will be a nice challenge for you bored gamers out there. Thanks a bunch! Just post your photos or video in the form of a hyperlink on this page, in addition to a small post to let me know who you are. Bon chance, mes amis!

It's actually not that difficult, particularly with Rad-X and RadAway   phoenix     txt    xp   10:21, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know, I already did it wearing T-51b, the radioactive resistance was very helpful. - RASICTalk 11:45, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * What is more of a challenge, is making it to the Capital Wasteland entrance of Vault 87 so that you can collect the Pip-Boy marker. With your Rad Resistance taken to its maximum of 85, you still really need to have the RadAway bound to a hotkey (and an itchy finger) to keep the alarmingly high levels of rads at bay while you make a mad dash for it!! Retrieving the GECK yourself is child's play in comparison lol   phoenix     txt    xp   11:57, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with phoenix, might as well make the Vault 87 map marker the challenge itself cause that would be a harder, if not impossible task on the game, and even the wiki walktrough advice seems impossible to do(droping to the door of Vault 87 from a higher position - what higher position?!) That stupid vault is the only unmarked marker in my Capital Wasteland map and its really frustrating even though youve already been actually inside it and retrieved the GECK.

Thanks for the comments guys, but what I really meant was the entrance, sorry. Hopefully you can understand. Keep posting, if ya want! I'll take all this into account and get back to you on a solution for getting the marker.SoProTheyGoWoah 23:49, March 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just quickly made a vid. Did you mean like this?

 * (raw video file was 1.5GB! :O - go fraps lol)   phoenix     txt    xp   05:17, March 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wow! thanks so much for the video! Now I know it can be done, the next question is how do I "hotkey" Radaway and RadX on the PC game? Muttley69 14:58, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * To bind to a hotkey, go into the section of your Pip-Boy inventory (weapons, aid etc) that you want to assign something from, and hold down any number between 1 and 8. While pressing the number you wish to bind something to, click on the item in the inventory list that you wish to assign to that key, and there you go.   phoenix     txt    xp   09:47, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Dang! I applaud you and your ability to guzzle Radaway lol. Thanks so much for the vid. As for the PC hotkey, check your manual that comes w/ the game or google it, or you can post it heere, I'm not sure how you do it as I play on the Xbox. Thanks to you all!SoProTheyGoWoah 23:47, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Its actualy easier than one would think. you only need 2 rad away at most. when your running through the corridor of radiation, and pass throught the door into the room with the geck, there is a "blindspot" aproxamatly were the door is, so you run forward, activate the geck, then go back and stand in the blind spot, wait for the geck, then go and grab it and run back to the entrence to the radiated area

To the person who uploaded the vid: Do that again, only next time, grab the .32, the rolling pin, the two surgical tubings, and the rad suit lying on the ground in front of the entrance. XP Viper720666 14:37, May 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Weird, I did this a few days ago. I think I used like 80 Radaway... I probably used more than I had to. But I didn't stop to take a gander at the dead scientist, haha. But I got my map marker!
