It's time to lead the charge and rescue Reilly's Rangers from the super mutants in the Statesman Hotel. This long battle with the super mutants carries a nice reward in caps and good armor. If you want a good battle, then look here for all the information you need about Reilly's Rangers.

Introduction

Reilly's Rangers will take you into the biggest battle outside of the main quest. You'll get to take part in a full scale attack on a super mutant position, get a lot of free supplies from a hospital, and get a set of amazing armor that will serve you for most of the game. It all starts with just a simple message on the radio.

Reilly

The quest should officially start when you pick up a radio signal around the capital. You will definitely hear the signal on your way to Underworld in the Museum of History. If you tune into the channel, you'll hear a special distress signal from Reilly's Rangers. It seems that they're pinned down and need assistance. We don't know where they are though.

You need to go into Underworld and visit Doctor Barrows. There's a girl called Reilly who is unconscious on a bed inside the medical clinic. You need to wake her up. If you have Medicine above 60, then you can do it yourself. You can also convince Doctor Barrows to do it by passing a speech check. Note that doing it yourself seems to have a chance to cripple her, which makes her character have a limp for the rest of the game. You might want to stick to convincing Barrows, since he seems to have better luck. Either way, once she's up you can talk to her about what's going on. It seems that her team was attacked by super mutants while mapping the ruins. They brilliantly decided to charge to the top of a large building with no escape route. It's your mission to go save them.

You can swing by the Ranger Compound now if you want some supplies, but there isn't much worth getting. If you're somewhat well armed, I would just wait.

Our Lady of Hope

If you listened to Reilly, then you know that the only way to get to The Statesmen Hotel is through a few subway stations. You should still have the series of waypoints on the map. Just follow through the standard subways until you pop out in Vernon square. The streets should actually be clear and the hospital is in plain sight down the right side of the road.

Go up to the doors and head inside Our Lady of Hope. After that, I can't help much. There will be leveled super mutants in this area, although they should still be on the weak end of the spectrum. I only saw normal mutants and super mutant brutes in the hospital. There's no trick to this one though. Just go around with a hunting rifle or whatever your weapon of choice is to blow away all the super mutants. Stay alert when turning corners and watch the sides. There are a lot of rooms lining the hallways, so it's easy to get ambushed.

As a side note, just about each room has a first aid kit with some stimpaks, so it's worth your time to explore a bit. Other than that, it's a standard clearing mission until you get to the stairs. They are over to the side of the cafeteria area with a lot of super mutants. You'll probably get to it as you finish your walk around the building. Go up and fight through another brief floor in the spots overlooking the cafeteria. Then get up another set of stairs to our goal floor. You should be able to get out onto the “bridge” and cross over to the Statesman hotel. When you get to the end, you have to drop down and enter the second floor of the Statesman Hotel.
