Restoring Hope Restoring Hope is a in " " . Detailed walkthrough . Travel to the Camp Forlorn Hope command center and speak to Major Polatli and ask what can be done to help around the camp . He says that a lot of things can be done and then tasks the Courier to speak to Mayes in the quartermaster ' s tent . Part 1 Mayes will send the Courier to retrieve a supply shipment that didn ' t get delivered to the camp . He directs them to Lieutenant Haggerty at HELIOS One to get more information on the shipment . Haggerty will reveal that the missing shipment has a GPS in it , so it can be located on the Pip - Boy ' s map . The location is northeast of the Southern Nevada Wind Farm , which is west of Camp Forlorn Hope . From the wind farm , go northeast until reaching a short cliff that drops into a small valley . Continuing to look northeast , one should be able to see a few dead NCR soldiers , along with a storage crate that contains the supplies needed several yards away by another small cliff . Taking the supplies triggers an ambush by 3 - 4 Legion soldiers . Part 2 After recovering the shipment , return to Camp Forlorn Hope and return the shipment to Mayes , then consult with Polatli . He sends the Courier to the camp ' s medical center and asks them to assist Dr . Richards . Speak to Richards and he will give the Courier a few tasks . First , he says that he would appreciate a hand in treating some of the injured soldiers . There is an option to not assist in this task . There are no negative consequences for choosing this option . Examine each of the three patients in the medical center and treat them accordingly . After treating all of the soldiers , return to Richards and let him know . Part 3 From there , return to Polatli and tell him the soldiers have been treated . He then sends the Courier to rendezvous with Cooper between the camp and Nelson . Meet with Cooper and his squad and assault Nelson . The Courier will decide whether to attack from the cliff at the east ( distance , good for sniping ) or from the north ( close quarters ) . Also , Cooper ' s squad will vary depending on the player character ' s success in completing the various side quests and unmarked quests in Forlorn Hope . If every quest was completed in the best possible manner , causing a high morale boost for Camp Forlorn Hope , Cooper will be assisted by Veteran Rangers with sniper rifles . Alternatively , lower ranks of morale will respectively result in Rangers with standard weapons , a 4 - man trooper squad , or a 2 - man trooper squad . There is a cliff nearby if the plan of attack includes sniping . Otherwise , storm Nelson and kill the legionaries in the town . Head to the northeast barracks and kill Dead Sea . He will have a few legionaries with him . After this , return to Camp Forlorn Hope and tell Polatli of the victory . This will complete the quest . Counter - quest . This quest is in direct opposition to We Are Legion . Finishing either will always cause the other to fail . For example , this quest requires the death of Dead Sea who gives ( and closes ) We Are Legion and vice - versa with Major Polatli . Camp morale . Camp morale will determine how many and how strong reinforcements are during the NCR assault on Camp Nelson . There are various local quests to be completed , and the player character ' s success in completing them will determine how much morale is raised . 0 - 3 Points = No morale ( Two Standard NCR troopers ) 4 - 6 Points = Low morale ( Four Standard NCR troopers ) 7 - 9 Points = Medium morale ( Four NCR Patrol Rangers with rifles or revolvers ) 10 or more = High morale ( Four NCR Veteran Rangers ) Doing the best quest paths possible will yield a total of 12 points . Behind the scenes . The name of this quest is a reference to , a U . S . initiative to create a protected environment for conducting humanitarian operations in the southern half of Somalia in 1992 - 1993 .
