*In ''New Vegas'', it is possible to obtain the fourth copy of Dean's Electronics without the DLC by clearing the update cache. This will unlock the bunker and allow access to the book. Doing so with the DLC installed, however, will clear any progress you made in that regard. This does not work with the latest patch on the PC version.
