Back in Your Own Backyard

Given by: Ranger Milo [road to Nelson] (MsE:23)

Just west of Nelson, you'll discover a small NCR checkpoint #1 and you'll be stopped by Ranger Milo.

• [Speech 35] introduce yourself and offer him your help

You have to rescue the NCR hostages. Go to [Nelson] (MsE:23) where you'll find some crucified soldiers (M21:3) #2. Milo will cover your back from the hill.

Solution 1

You decide to rescue them. The Legion soldiers will attack you immediately. It might be a little bit tough to fight them, even with help from Milo. It is good idea to deal with the Legion soldiers first and free the hostages after that (you'll be sure not to kill them accidently - of course you can kill them too if you want). After the shooting return to Milo. You will receive a small reward.

Solution 2

Kill the hostages. You can do it either by detonating some explosives under the crosses (you can find some C-4 by the road), using the gun from a close distance or shooting them with a sniper rifle. After dealing with the hostages return to Milo. You receive get a small reward.
