Where do I put the ecpolosives? SPOILERS!

[Shao-Loki]

Hey! It's me again. Mods, if I'm spamming, please let me know. I just looking for a few answers...not a massive game spoiler.

I've been to Vault 13, and I know I need a part for the computer. I thought I'd check out the abandoned military base to the west, but I can't figure out where to drop some explosives to blow the door open. Help? Is this the way in, or is there a back door to go through?

Also, I got my G.E.C.K. from the smart Deathclaws, but when I went back to Arroyo, the village had been ransacked by Navarro. Is this a scripted event? Or am I just plain too late?

Thanks!
-Loki

About the explosives (dynamite) in Military Base:

To clear the entrance, first pick up the Metal Pole from the sidewalk. Use it on the cart to attach it. Get a Dynamite from the shack to the north and use it on the pole (no need to arm it first). Then push the cart (ST check needed, try until you succeed) and boom, you get 5000 xp for removing those rocks.

About the G.E.C.K:
Yes, it is a scripted event, and there is second main quest basing on that event...

it doesn't let me use the explosives, it just tells me to set the timer. any idea what the problem is?

[Tricky]

Right-click (and hold) on the cart, select the backpack and click on the explosive. You don't actually need to set the timer first for this one.

Thanks again Tricky, you've been a big help
