How to kill Caesar [Minor Spoiler]
I just killed Caesar and his small army easily with a great plan. Though it does take some preparation in order to perfectly kill him without any real effort. I will list the weapons I used , drugs ,armor ,companions and amount of caps I spent.

Before starting the raid , tell Boone to go back to Strip 34 or whatever. Because he'll start shooting everyone. Also if you want to help House or Yes Man , upgrade the robots before raiding so you have something off your mind. After that's done , go take Boone back and begin the raid.

Raid of the fortress was on Normal.

Weapons:

Ratslayer (Before going in the camp). - The small camp before you take the boat is full of resource that MAY help you if you run out of ammo in the fortress. Just headshot everyone while crouching. A stealth radar (forgot the name) is a great option. But I was great without it.
Unique weapon found in : Broc Flower Cave. A perfect silent sniper. More useful when guns is up to 100.

Fully modded 10mm pistol. (Anywhere except in Caesar's tent). - It is powerful enough to kill any legionnaire with MAXIMUM 3 magazine of 16 ammo each. It will not help in the tent due to every guard having a strong fists, unfortunately.

Chainsaw. (Only in the tent). - If you decide to kill every legion in the fortress , one of them will carry a chainsaw in almost perfect shape. It is strong enough to damage the Praetonian guards before using the Ballistic Fist.

Ballistic Fist. (Only in the tent). - Finish them ♥♥♥♥s by backing up and punching 'em. If they hit you 4-5 times , use a couple of stimpaks and continue to punch 'em. Killing the minor guards aren't a problem but Luco , the private guard of Caesar, is more tough than Caesar himself. I suggest killing Caesar before Luco. (Forgot his name so don't be mad if it's not Luco).

Drugs:

Stimpaks. - You'll obviously be close to die a couple of times from Praetonian/Legionnaire guards. So keeping at least 10 will do you good.

Med-X. - Using it before entering the tent will help you... GREATLY. This is a must. Otherwise you'll be stuck to be wasting your precious Stimpaks. Use a Med-X.

Other drugs aren't necessary but might help. I only used Med-X and I was good without them.

Armors:

Metal Armor Reinforced , full set. - This is highly effective again bullets but it's costly. So this is a very good armor to takeover the fortress.

Companions:

Boone: I noticed that he was more efficient when I was taking over. He did get unconscious once by a Ballistic Fist from the Praetonian guard. Plus this'll give you the possibility to get the quest of Boone.

ED-E: This robot's laser are deadly against their armor. Mixed with Boone will help you takeover the camp before the boat faster.

Un-recommanded companions:
Arcade Gannon
Rex
Lily

Spent caps:
Iron-like skin implant - 8000 caps. *Optional but greatly helps. The 12000 caps also helps.*

Stimpaks - 1200 caps. *minimum*

Med-X - Buying it is useless. Finding them is easier and worth it. - 0 caps.

Metal Armor Reinforced , Full set. - 500 caps if 25% condition. 3000+ caps if 75%+ condition.

Modded 10mm Pistol. - 3000+ caps.

Extra Ammo. - 1000 caps.

Fact #1: I only did this on level 14 and got outside with an extra level and a bunch of items to sell.
Fact #2: Bothering saving the slave will waste your time. They will stay there because they're dumb.
Fact #3: My Metal Armor Reinforced got destroyed because of it having less than 50% condition. I suggest you keep your armor to at least 50%+ condition. I spent a minute in the tent naked :x.

Hope you thought this guide was useful. I did not make it an official guide due to it having some spoilers.

Hey not dissing your method at all! Just sharing :p.

Another thing that will help is to take out Vulpes Inculta before you get to the camp - his not being there makes the tent fight that much easier - then the only tough guy you have to worry about is Lucius. You can take Vulpes out either in Nipton (if you want to be fighting the Legion through the entire game) or on the Strip when you get to that branching part of the game.

I've taken out Caesar a few times, always with a knife. Usually I'd hide and snipe out as many as I could get without alerting anyone first, then go to town. MFC clusters are good defensive weapons in a pinch.

Get a few good weapons and lots of ammo but also get frag mines, satchel charges, C4 etc Or a fat mine if you REALLY hate him
Simply make a minefield running from the tent door to the left side of the arena, go in with no companions (as they are liable to get blown up) then go streight back out, run, boom, boom and your done.
They only have mellee weapons so dont worry about taking damage.

Step 1: get Mercy
Step 2: kill your way through the camp and enter the tent
Step 3: yell "Eh Ciz', catch!" and drop a rain of grenades in the tent while laughing maniacally.

The "laughing maniacally" part is essential, otherwise you're missing on the experience.

(OP, no offense, but everybody and their mother killed Caesar. A guide is not really useful.)

The only issue in Caesar's camp is entering his personal tent, what i personally do to complete the fight easily is mash the "V" key and kill of Caesar at long range with any weapon that has increased critical damage.

When Caesar is finally dead, turn 180 degrees and exit the tent. His praetorians will exit the tent one at a time right into your crosshair and easy to kill. If you can't kill them off quick enough, just use the rock outcroppings by the tent to evade melee range while taking potshots and abusing VATS.

nononononnono, if you want to save 10000 caps, just put 5-6 plasma mines on the stairs shoot em, then run the hell away

Seems a lot of work. I just strafed the camp with a vertibird, then landed me and my platoon of power-armored NCR troops. They fought their way into the camp while I acted as a spotter for the CAS vertibirds. When I got to Caesar I just shot him in the face with a 10mm SMG.

I dunno..all that seems unecessary...i went in with one of them, melee gloves that the Legion wear and punched everyone to death....

Its a shame the camp never re-populates. Extra fun if it did.

I just did something easier.

1. Kill everyone outside of his tent

2. Get Caesar and all his buddies into the front part of the tent (Having Veronica and Rex draw aggro helps)

3. Drop a Holy Frag Greande, and duck around the side for cover.

4. Loot the Legion's remains.

It took a couple of tries but it worked for me.

Found the easiest way to kill Caesar and have yet to see anyone mention it.

Here's how I did it:

The Prep:
1. Have a few Stealth boy (I only used 2x)
2. I was Unarmed/Explosion combo
3. Have Lily as a companion for Stealth Girl perk (100% stealth boy duration baby!)
4. Started off as Accepted so going in/out of the Fort was no issue.
5. Keep holdout weapons when entering the Fort.

The Execution:
1. Activate Stealth boy
2. Sneak pickpocket a praeritorian in Caesar's tent. Give him an explosive (I used MFC Grenade [Mad Bomber]). 1 hit KO while hidden.
3. Loot the Ballistic Fist.
4. Sneak attack critical (R) Uppercut while [Hidden] everyone in the Fort EXCEPT: Caesar, Lucius, and the guards at the gate. (Save these guys for last) You should be 1 hit KO everyone.
5. Once everyone in the entire camp is dead while you still have the Legion <3 you, you can finally break your Legion rep and kill the only remaining people.
6. Kill the gate keepers using stealth. I believe killing the main guard makes Legion hate you. Loot the weapon locker key and get your gear back.
7. Go finish off Caesar and Lucius.
8. Presto!

I had NO trouble demolishing everyone in the camp. If you stop at step 5, you can continue to play along with Legion but loot all of the gear. Bwahahaha! Enjoy! Hope this helped someone.
