Six Stealth Boys[]
When I went throughout the Vault I did not find any Stealth Boys and I am doing a second play through to see if I missed something, until then it probably should be taken down. I would also like to mention the Founder's Remains and Sinclair's Bag should be mentioned because of the Energy Weapons Skillbook.
- Should be in a box in the central chamber with a note on it.
- It appears items and loot in Dead Money differentiate per play. So for example in one run you may find 9 stealth boys where your second run you may only find 1. This applies to all loot in containers, lockers, Metal Boxes et cetera
Does this need to be renamed?[]
The journal entries refer to this area as "the Sierra Madre Vault," so where are we getting "Casino" from? Minor Edits 08:25, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
From what I got from the dialouge with Elijah, I thought that he was alluding to their being another area to the vault-talking about the technology hidden there-, an area which the player can't acess, but he may be able to with his skills etc. Meh, I don't recall their being many super weapons hidden down there (the Sierra Madre itself is another matter). =P
Re: Six Stealth Boys
There are no stealth boys in the cabinet with the Sierra Madre Armor. Corrected the article, it sounds like it was just a troll.
Locations of Hologram Emitters[]
I dont know why people dont mention the hologram emitters in these pages, but in the hopes that some more people will post their location im willing to post the two emitters out of the three (I assume theres three because I took out two and one still remains) both emitters are located on a perilous ledge, you jump on top of the small "mini-room" that holds the terminal that turns off the force field and alarms by jumping from an open space on the catwalks you normally walk over to get there, you can tell because it will connect to the stair case that runs above the door you entered the room from. From there you climb the stair case and carefully walk (or run whatever floats your boat) and the first emitter (for the middle hologram) should be straight ahead looking North from the staircase. The second emitter (controls the left-most hologram) can be located by coming to the first intersection of the metal beams you walk on then following the beam West. Thats the only two I've found thus far, but I might be able to find the third (right-most hologram).--Forerunner93 19:18, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
- Just to clarify, the first two emitters are on top of the rafters, usually directly above where the holograms are initially positioned. The last emitter is on the ceiling in the enclosed hallway to the right of the force-field door. --Bottletopman 08:32, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
IMPOSSIBLE[]
is it now impossible to get all 37 gold bars out of the vault with the 1.5 update? could someone look into this?
- I just did it without much trouble. All I did was make a half-stealthy-yet-encumbered beeline for the rear force field, and it didn't block me so I just walked through for the Safety Deposit Box achievement. I did save just before I got to the field, maybe that messed something up with script timing? Positronic Spleen 07:50, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
Vault[]
It is implied that there is another part of the vault that first must be figured out how to unlock. This is suggested in the dialogue with Elijah and endings. Although not directly stated it should be safe to imply for oneself. Someone should change the article as it is missleading, as there is more likely than not, another part of the vault with hologram tech and probably food too along with other..... facilities, as there is no way Vera would have survived on the petty amount in that front area.
Reward / 37 Gold bars?[]
On the main page for the DLC under the section for Quests it mentions the last quest as "Heist of the Centuries" with a Reward of 37 Gold Bars. Is it really possible to escape the vault with all 37 Gold Bars with or without exploiting a repetitive glitch?
If Elijah is killed you have 60 seconds to make it to the Elevator but you are not able to go through the Force Field. Thus you have to take the long trek around the back way while encumbered. If you make it to the winding broken staircase you are unable to make it past since you can not jump while encumbered.
If you decide to avoid Elijah and make the long trek around back you are once again blocked by the broken stair case that you can not jump up to.
If you take advantage of a glitch and make it through the Force Field swapping with Elijah, you may have the 37 Gold Bars but you can't use the elevator to end the quest.
It has been suggested to drop the gold through the Force Field, kill Elijah, then run the long way. Has anyone succeeded dropping through the Force Field within 30 tries?

I can confirm the force field trick. tips: don't stand too close to force field when dropping gold bricks they will disappear, run as fast as possable and switch to 3rd person view to pick them up, leave pleanty of time to get to the elevator it can be a little stressful.
- So on second run through this completely did my head in. Basically once you've completed the dialogue with him in the vault, turn immediately and go for the door. I put on the assassin suit used and an il fantoma also the stealth boy just to be sure.
Walk to the room directly across from the vault, head around to the area where elijah emerged from - aiming for the back entrance. As you pass the door then crouch and continue your way around. To add that i took turbo at some point on the journey to speed it up a bit (without it I seemed to just miss it). Ended up addicted for some reason?
Got in with a few seconds to spare and poor Elijah got stuck, achievement done. --Ruggerirish 00:37, November 11, 2011 (UTC)
I was able to get out with all 37 bars by backing up to the forcefield and destroying 3 turrets. When Elijah lowers the field to engage, you back through and Elijah is left on the wrong side of the field. Leave a big pile of demo charges in his path and he dies and you have the gold bars.
Auxiliary Generator[]
Kind of a trivia find more than anything, but I found a generator to be repaired to the left/west of the door to the vault. Fixing it gives no experience and it does not seem to change any of the dialog or options with Elijah or the vault terminals. My guess is this was an abandoned minor quest or an optional way to trap Elijah inside.
