The Hopeville silo bunker entrance is the door at the northwestern end of the path from the pass to canyon wreckage, and it is the only way forward into the Divide. Behind it lies the Hopeville missile silo bunker, which you cross during The Silo. A sewer access tunnel painted with "You can go home Courier" leads to a wrecked control room, but its lockdown panel is beyond the Courier's ability to hack. It needs an eyebot.
That eyebot waits in a pod in the maintenance area to the south: a copy of ED-E, built by the bunker's machines after they remotely scanned the original. Reactivate it at the maintenance computer and it joins you, then unlocks the commissary terminal beside it and the lockdown controls. Deeper in, the silo is guarded by turrets and sentry bots. The first eyebot upgrade circuit board is in a destroyed eyebot in the hallway past the lockdown door, and the ghoulified General Martin Retslaf sits in the commander's office wearing the unique US Army General outfit.
Retslaf's desk holds the silo network security codes needed to lift the final lockdown, and his terminal can shut down the three sentry bots in his office alcoves, where a plasma rifle and ammunition are stored. Fixing a damaged wall terminal with Repair 50 lets you switch the turrets' IFF so they fight the sentry bots for you. The exit tunnel climbs to the Hopeville Missile Base, where The Silo ends and Ulysses speaks to you for the first time.
How to get there
Follow the cliff path northwest from the pass to canyon wreckage and pass under the fallen electric pylon to reach the door.
