Fallout 2 Computer Game Help

I’m at my wits end here. I’m trying to get into the military complex and I already know how you’re suppose to do it. You’re suppose to put a stick in the cart, put some dynamite on the stick, and then push the cart into the rubble.

Well the problem is I can’t get the dynamite attached to the stick. Every time I try to use the dynamite my character just drops it on the ground. To those of you who played this game do you know what I’m doing wrong?

Let us see the walkthrough at No Mutants Allowed:

It’s been year or so since I finished Fallout 2, so I’m not sure about this, but have you tried to take the dynamite to your weapon slot and use it from there?

When I put the dynamite in the weapons slot and attempt to use it it makes me set the timer and then it drops the dynamite off wherever I’m standing. It doesn’t give me the option of just putting the dynamite on the stick. It is kind of frustrating.

From this FAQ/Walkthrough at Gamefaqs comes the following:

I’m not sure what you are doing wrong and it has been a long time since I played this game as well. However, you may note that the FAQ says this area is optional so in a pinch you could just pass it up.

Just left click and hold on the Pole, and then pick the button that looks like a pack. Find the dynamite and click on it. Make sure that the dynamite is lit already, though.

Put the dynamite in your active weapons slot. Then, click the crosshair on the pole. It’s only a few pixels wide, so you have to be sure you are on the pole when you click. (I think it highlights when you are over it but it’s been a while since I played so I can’t remember for sure.)

If it is simply setting the timer and dropping the dynamite then it sounds like you aren’t clicking on the pole correctly.

(Or, maybe you click on the cart. As I said, I can’t remember exactly.)

To put it more clearly…

Pick up the metal rod. Use your backpack/inventory option while clicking on the cart and choose the rod. Use the backpack/inventory option again while clicking on the pole in the cart and choose the dynamite. The game takes it from there.

Make SURE you’ve got plenty of Rad X’/Radaway and ammunition before you go in there. It’s Mutant City, again.

I coulda SWORN I completely destroyed that place in the last game…

Not really worth it I think. Its a pretty boring area, although quite tough. For some reason 30 mutants with heavy weapons caused me some difficulty. :slight_smile:
