You need to collect data | You need to assemble your team then inform the guard that you are ready to leave. Interact with the monitor and the Vault door terminal to open and close the door upon leaving. You won't be allow to exit the area if the Vault door is open. | ||
Your objective is to gather data from environmental monitors. There are five such monitors, resembling pods, positioned amongst the trees. Interact with each one to collect the required data. In the initial area, you will find three monitors. | |||
To access the final two, you must scale a cliff. Locate the rope with an attached hook in the car's trunk. Use this to climb the ladder and reach the first level of the cliff. You will require a metal bar to shift the rocks obstructing your path to the last monitor. This bar can be obtained from a fallen road sign. Moving the rocks on the ledge may take several attempts. | |||
You have the freedom to choose any dialogue branch, as the game's outcome will remain unaffected. | |||
Alternatively, if you prefer to bypass the prologue entirely, you may inform the doctor of your reluctance to leave the Vault. | |||

The hunter [[Evan]] will teach you how to hunt Geckos and eventually teach you Gecko Skinning. If you ask him about traps during the first hunting quest, he'll increase your Traps skill by 5%. His [[quests]] are tied to using a hunting whistle <!-- As far as I know it only works inside the two [[quests]]. -->. In the egg chamber (second hunting quest), you can find a torn jacket, which, with the help of a workbench and the skin of a silver gecko, can be turned into a normal leather jacket (Repair 35+). Up to half the geckos in the cave can be killed without failing the quest. With the combination of sneak skill, running and timing, you can avoid killing any geckos, pick up all the eggs (14 total) and any other loot. Once you are back outside, he ends up taking 10 eggs for himself and the rest he gives to you and tells you it's best to sell them in [[New Reno]] (restaurants) for most profit (with barter check you can increase price slightly more there). | The hunter [[Evan]] will teach you how to hunt Geckos and eventually teach you Gecko Skinning.

Afterward Evan will mention the existence of a legendary scorpion out in the wastes. This tough critter has a high amount of hit points and deals a lot of damage plus poison. Kiting backwards while firing energy weapons is a viable takedown strategy, if you can, aim for the eyes - it should make the fight much easier. Slaying the beast yields 500 XP and an [[armor]] crafting component, the rad-scorpion shell. The shell can be used to create the Chitnous armor at a workbench with a repair check and golden gecko pelts.. | Afterward Evan will mention the existence of a legendary scorpion out in the wastes.

Should you choose to move the settlers to [[Vault City]] later, make sure to do the [[Black Rock]] quest involving Milo first. To persuade the residents to move you need good reputation or Speech (70+). Trapper [[Evan]] will stay behind regardless along with [[Gerlach]] himself. | Should you choose to move the settlers to [[Vault City]] later, make sure to do the [[Black Rock]] quest involving Milo first.
