    Avoid the monorail door (upstairs and to the east) unless your NCR reputation is "Liked".

  11. 11
    Follow the road east, then south over train tracks.
  12. 12
    Engage and eliminate any Fiends lurking on the roofs of buildings to the east, as they may attempt to snipe you.

  20. 20
    Speak with him and inquire about food to learn about supply issues. Offer to help improve his supplies.

    He will suggest three tasks: obtaining meat, repairing cooking machinery, and acquiring spices. Inquire about each for more details. You will receive the notes "Food Processor Parts List" and "Meat Vendor List".
  22. 22
    To repair the cooking machinery, gather components. Many can be found at REPCONN Headquarters and Camp McCarran. Old Lady Gibson at the Gibson Scrapyard also sells some. Alternatively, inspect the machine and pass a [Repair 80] check.

    Inside, locate Sgt. Daniel Contreras.

    Inquire about his supplies. Pay him 50 Caps or succeed at a [Speech 50] or [Barter 50] check to gain access to his expanded inventory.
  28. 28
    Agree to do legwork for him, and he will give you the note "McCarran Arms Request" and direct you to a Gun Runner named Isaac.
