Fallout Tactics: BoS → Coldwater
It's time to get down to business, though. The village you'll be operating in is nestled on a mountainside and has four sprawling tiers.
You're currently located at the bottom, in the valley, and you'll need to search for the gang of crooks at the very top. The village is full of people, but no one will pay much attention to you. Everyone's busy with their own affairs. Just look at the cockroaches! Don't relax, though, as there are ambushes set up along your path to the fourth tier, especially near the staircases. If you have a machine gunner with an M2 on your team, you shouldn't have any problems, as this machine gun can mow down bandits in droves.
Unfortunately, you can remove armor from a dead enemy, but you can't equip it to your own men because it's heavily damaged. So you'll have to carry all this weight back to base.
Let's move on. When you emerge from the buildings onto the open platform, you'll see that the entire upper platform, right up to that barricade ahead, is generously strewn with mines. These surprises are well camouflaged, making them quite difficult to spot. My character, with the highest traps and perception, had to periodically remove his "spacesuit" to more easily spot the planted T45LEs.
Behind the barricades near the building with the nasty inscription are two machine gunners, and the best way to neutralize them is as follows: using long-range snipers, force them to take cover behind sandbags, while your machine gunner, armed with a Browning, stealthily approaches.
It's clear that the defense will be the most serious in the final room, where the gang's leader is located. Without entering the room itself, you can eliminate the laser rifle wielders sitting in the two far corners from a distance, and then enter and shoot the leader with a machine gun. Then head to the Great Bend.
