Arizona Killer

You should start this quest by talking to Cato Hostilius #1, who will provide you with some initial action plan. You'll find him near by the [Ranger Station Delta] (MsE:16). When you're ready, wait until morning. If you have no plan at all, you can ask for some suggestions.

• [Explosives 50] take a bomb

You will also get a NCR Trooper Costume, so you can move freely among other NCR soldiers. Put it on. Head to [Hoover Dam] (MsE:10), following Cato. He'll cross over into the crowd #2. When you're ready, ask him about the president's arrival. There are few ways to assassinate the president.

Solution 1

Before your conversation with Cato, go to the Visitors Center (M19:3) and hack the terminal [Science 50]. Alter the Vertibird's flight plan and then talk to Cato. Listen to the speech and wait till the President gets back on-board and the Vertibird takes off. It will crash into the mountains, killing the president. Return to Caesar or Lucius [The Fort] (M9:1).

Solution 2

Go up to the roof of the Visitor Center #1 and hack the console you find there.

• [Science 50] reprogram anti-aircraft guns to shoot the Vertibird down #2;
• [Repair 50] rig the AA cannon to explode during the speech

Once Kimball is dead, return to Caesar or Lucius [The Fort] (M9:1).

Solution 3

Talk to Cato, asking about the president's arrival. Head to the landing area, which is guarded by NCR soldier #1.

• use a Stealth Boy to slip by him
• [Speech 50] tell him that you want to see the Vertibird.

When you're near by the Vertibird #2, plant there a bomb [Explosives 50]. Wait till the speech's end and watch the Vertibird lifts off and explodes killing the president Kimball.

Once Kimball is dead, return to Caesar or Lucius [The Fort] (M9:1).

Solution 4

Ask about the president's arrival. When he comes, look for some quiet place, safe enough to snipe the president #1. The first tower (M19:4) #2 to the far left is perfect for this task, if you are capable to shoot the target down from a distance. Though you have to take into consideration that you can be recognized.

Once Kimball is dead, return to Caesar or Lucius [The Fort] (M9:1).

Solution 5

If you have a C4 and a detonator, you can kill Kimball during his speech, with the "help" of private Jeremy Watson. Just before the president's arrival, Watson will accost you (if you're close enough) and ask if you haven't seen his helmet. His helmet is located on a table next to the stairs. Put a C4 in the helmet [Explosives 50], go back to the private and tell him where the helmet is. Ask about the president's arrival. When he comes and the private is nearby him, find a safe location and set off the C4.

Once Kimball is dead, return to Caesar or Lucius [The Fort] (M9:1).
