A couple quests I have been stuck on...


I am supposed to convince the boomers to help the NCR but the dialogue option doesnt seem to be available. I have already done the side quests of helping all the boomers with various things and my reputation is good there. I also have 100 speech but there is no option to ask the woman about helping the NCR. What am I missing?

The quest to investigate the tower at the airport or whatever, where there is a computer that says the times of entrance and exit... Well I have investigated the tower and nothing happens.. I even waited for almost every hour to see if someone shows up.. Is there a day/time I need to be there?

Lastly.. I am not finding any schematics on crafting weapons.. the only ones that show up on the workbench are bottlecap mine and something else. Is there a way to craft weapons in this game like fallout 3?

Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated!

1) Did you raise the bomber? You can get her to promise to help you.
2) Check the terminal. What days and hours is someone entering and leaving that aren't when someone should be there? Don't wait inside, wait outside.
3) They're rare.

for #2 if you talked to the Maimed 1st Recon Spotter (the old ranger with unique rifle) he will tell you he notices flashes in the control tower at 1:30am on the dot.

You just hide around the entrance to the control tower (I hid behind the planes) around 1am and wait for the npc to show up and walk in.

Then you sneak in and listen to the traitor's conversation.

You should take Boone with you, and execute the traitor on the spot - it will show Boone that you are trustworthy.
