Learn how to switch weapons and manage slots in Fallout Tactics. Reloading and finding ammo are key.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Loot the NE enemy for a Mauser (9mm pistol) and baseball bat. The ammo is useful for the MP5.
  2. 2
    Loot the NW enemy for a zip gun (1-shot, ineffective), ammo, and a stimpak for healing.
  3. 3
    Advance NW to the bunker and defeat the patrolling guard.
  4. 4
    Position two characters (including Farsight) SW against the wall on aggressive attack. Use a third character to bait the bunker guard out, allowing the other two to ambush.
  5. 5
    Loot the two bodies for a .44 pistol (good for Farsight at close range) and an Uzi. Place the .44 in Farsight's second weapon slot and RELOAD it.
  6. 6
    Enter the bunker to find a chest containing a key, rifle ammo (give to Farsight), and a stimpak.
  7. 7
    Head SW to the ruin and speak with the shaman.
  8. 8
    Return NE to the door by the bunker. Ensure aggressive stance or sneak as intended.
  9. 9
    Engage the guard inside the room, using walls for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) after the initial engagement. Be cautious of the guard outside by the garden and the dog.
  10. 10
    Loot the raider inside, the shelf, and the booze on the ground. Loot the shotgun guard for more shells for Stitch.
  11. 11
    Advance NW to the tent and loot the shelf inside.
  12. 12
    Proceed N to the area with sleeping people. Set your team to passive sentry mode and get close to eliminate them before they react. Position Stitch near the dogs for a potential one-shot kill with his shotgun.
  13. 13
    Enter the Brahmin pen through the gate, ensuring not to injure the Brahmins.
  14. 14
    Carefully enter the tent to eliminate two guards without harming civilians. Position Stitch at the N entrance and two others at the S entrance. Advance the S team aggressively to engage one guard, while Stitch moves to engage the other who runs towards the children. Alternatively, use the MP5 character for high damage. Save beforehand as this part is difficult.
  15. 15
    Exit NE when the sentry is not present and enter the tent N of you. Kill the occupant and take his speargun. Loot the shelf for shotgun shells and drugs (worth money).
  16. 16
    Prepare for the sentry. Place the MP5 character in the tent with the children, and set all to aggressive. Ambush the sentry quickly at short range to prevent her rifle's accuracy advantage. Position Farsight and Stitch in the N tent near the door on aggressive. The MP5 character (or Stitch for shotgun power) waits in the tent with hostages.
  17. 17
    Upon defeating the sentry, immediately give her rifle to the main character and place the MP5 in the second slot.
  18. 18
    Crouch and move NW to the next bunker. Kill the guard quickly with two rifles. Unlock the door and loot the bunker for shotgun shells, rifle bullets (split between riflemen), and a crate.
  19. 19
    Exit the next door, cross the street to the parking lot. Avoid a frontal assault on the bunker. Move behind the tin wall, eliminating resistance, including a guard who attempts an ambush and the moving sentry.
  20. 20
    Move to the trees in the middle and advance cautiously. Shoot guards when they activate; if too far, go around the back of the bunker.
  21. 21
    Give the third rifle from the guard to Stitch for his second slot. Loot the crate for grenades and first aid.
  22. 22
    Carefully move through the hole in the SW wall to the sniper post with the ladder. Ascend the ladder with your main character on aggressive, using the MP5 on burst fire to eliminate the sniper. Look around with the rifle on aggressive to spot and eliminate other targets. Loot the crate for a stimpak and rifle bullets.
  23. 23
    Move SE through the next wall into the ruined area with wood floors. Deal with the pistol-wielding enemy if not sniped earlier.
  24. 24
    Move SE to the building with the burning barrel. Be cautious of the two waiting ambushers and a dog.
  25. 25
    Move SW into the room with wood floors and tin walls. Defeat the Uzi-wielding thug.
  26. 26
    Move W into the courtyard and eliminate the two sentries from cover if possible.
  27. 27
    Move around the N side of the building to surprise the sentry on the W side.
  28. 28
    Once the west sentry is gone, you can either get onto the roof or go in the front door. The best approach is to step out, fire a shot or two, and retreat behind cover. Be aware of the machine gunner on the right side. Use the MP5 on burst fire on the right side, or engage on the left to activate TB (Tactical Battle) combat and then use the machine gun on your next turn.
