How to unlock the Cash Out achievement

    Both Cash Out & Safety Deposit Box can be obtained in one playthrough of dead money.

    First save your game before you enter the vault!

    Once inside the vault the door will seal shut. Dont worry, just use the terminal at the far end of the room. (note: the 2 at either side of the door disable security systems and whatnot...not important) 

    Select the Vera file. (Vera Keyes does nothing that I know of) 
    After reading it back out. DO NOT select the new file that appears. Once you back out Elijah appears on the monitor. You need to convince him to come down to the vault. This requires a Lev. 75 barter, repair, or science. Once you convince him to come down this is where you decide which achievement you want.

    For Cash Out, wait just inside the vault door gun cocked, dont open the door until Elijah is in the area just outside the vault. (This may take a few tries to judge where he is on your compass) Once he's there open the door and kill him. Achievement popped after he died for me but I've heard rumors of it popping once the fight begins or when he enters the area.

    Once he's dead escape, enjoy the ending, and reload your game when your ready.

    For Safety Deposit Box, as soon as Elijah says he's on his way down and you can move, run out of the vault, go straight ahead up the stairs, and in the door on your left to the place where you entered this area. Run back the way you came through the maintenance tunnel and when you near the exit maintenance door Elijah will begin speaking. Wait a few seconds and the door will open. Run to the elevator and the achievement should pop once you get on.

    Oncogene27It absolutely is. You don't have to play through the entire game again. You can just reload a save. Thus, one playthrough.

    sirconkuerrIt is one play through technically, usually when people say one playthrough they mean that you don't have to restart all over from the beginning.

    YodaXIIIyou can absolutely get this with the turrets reprogrammed, you just have to be the one to land the final shot. I just stood and waited and he ended up backing into the vault and then it was an easy 1v1. to reprogram the turrets, wait until he turns hostile, then access the computer- believe you'd need the override code, which you get in lower level of 3 hologram room in the cloud.

    Other guides are great, but its worth knowing that you need to kill elijah.

    I hacked the turrets which killed elijah but didn't get the achievement until I killed him myself.

    Hope this helps

    AnnieGoesRawrthis did help. I didn't neg the other walkthroughs for this achievement because they are thorough but wow dude all they had to do was say what you said and I wouldn't have been confused for the past 20 minutes lol! I kept letting him get killed by the turrets.
