Stuck in the Bunker

[Kaii]

OK, so I'm in the ambush bunker, I went in knowing those guys looked shifty. So I figured "If they've going to ambush me when I leave, if I leave all this junk behind, I might be able to get far enough to pick them off." It obviously doesn't work, and they kill me.

Since then I've tried numerous ways to get past them, but to no avail. I don't have anything strong enough to kill them, and can't run far enough to get away from them, since if they don't kill me with their first shots, they do it with the second salvo. Is there any kind of back exit that lets me get away from them, because if they take all my stuff, I might as well just restart. I only left a few items back in the abandoned shack, the rest I took in with me.

Cheers!

If you have high lockpicking, you can pick the white box in their camp and get all your stuff back.

Oh please dear god let my lockpicking be high enough. I did actually put a decent amount of points into it, so fingers crossed!

If you're good with pickpocket, I think you can lift the key to that box from one of them. Or with enough Speechcraft, you can talk your way past them...though it might be too late for that when you leave the bunker; I'm not sure.

Ok, I half-talked him around, and left a few items, just the most valuable, in a locker. He bought it and let me go, I went and nabbed the stuff, and my plan now is to get a high enough LP to ope nthe crate and get it before he and his merry band run away.

If you can snag a good lockpicking item, it'll help. Crowbar is decent in a pinch, lockpicks are better...and at a certain point in another quest line, you can loot a set of keys which are the best lockpicking item I've seen so far.

Craft an explosive with timer, go to the bunker and fix the cart, then talk to your would-be ambushers and have them open the bunker entrance for you. They will take positions in front of the building. But don't go in. Instead, set the bomb on the cart and it will immediatelly roll forward at high speed. The shady guys won't be able to react and will get blown up, along with the main gate. Loot the three characters for guns and items, including the key to the box at their camp site. The box will be empty, but can serve as a location to park your goods and you can use the camp fire to cook your meals..now go to the bunker and take your time exploring it..

Yeah, only problem with that was I'd already entered the bunker, so I was kind of boned. I just cut my losses, left a few items behind, and got robbed. I started a new game after realizing how annoying it'll be trying to beat them for the key. Now I'm far better equipped and I slew them fair and square in their camp. It was touch and go at some points though, since the guy with the pistol does some serious damage to me. Shotgun guy doesn't worry me, since my armor stops the majority of his damage, and the rifle guy seems to have some kind of eye trouble, since he hit me once, when he was point-blank.

Though now I am addicted to the medical injectors, since I used like 7 in the fight (I kept getting knocked on my arse by the shotgun guy after he ran out of bullets.) Fun times!

Off to the hospital in the big city then..they cure addictions.

Wait, how do you craft an explosive with timer? I'm restarting again since I built my character in a hurry and didn't set it up properly. I know there's a bomb available in the bunker but for obvious reasons I can't fetch it. What's it's recipe?

[Magma5Stuff]

Dinamite, Wires, Bateries and Alarm Clock.

[Kaii]

Ahh, any ideas on where im likely to get a stick of Dynamite? The other three I have in my storage safe, but I've only ever found one stick of Dynamite and I can't remember where it was.

[Ligma]

Hey. You can buy a stick of dynamite from one of the workers in the drunken lair (aka moonshine distillery) if I recall correctly.
One of them, maybe even the same one, has an alarm clock, although I don't know if they'll talk to you if you did the quest for the bandits. While there, you can also do a quest for the worker in the left parcel, I believe he's sick or something.

same here.
i stumbled into the bunker-story with low health. After happy looting those 3 Guys killed me in 1st attempt.
my last saving point was that old ... only restart was the 2nd option.
i tried my best in the bunker to find useful items and collected raw meat from the rats for the dog i got.i also had 1 companion.
together we fought us out.
3-4 reloads because my companions died. .. and much to heal afterwards .. :)

I have the explosive pack and I could bust the gate. But sinde there is this PC inside the bunker where you can enter commands .. is there any way to open the gate without destruction?

[falloutttt]

where's the drunken lair (aka moonshine distillery) ? i'm playing in russian language and dont remember seeing any location with similar names.
