Fallout 4: main story and side quest checklist

Fallout 4 is huge. Let's make sure we see and do all the essentials.

With Fallout 4 back thanks to the new VR version, we wanted to make sure that new players are up to speed on all the main story missions and side quests as part of a general refresh to our Fallout 4 guide .

Fallout 4's Commonwealth is pretty big, but more importantly it's extremely dense. There's so much to see and do, and plenty of it doesn't even register in your quest log. The least we can do is put together a checklist of the game's main content, so you've got some idea of what's out there and how far along you are.

Below you'll find a list of main story quests, provided by factions and companions, as well as the most important side quests. We've also included a few notes on how to find these quests where appropriate.

This is a far from comprehensive list of what's available in Fallout 4; think of it as a map pointing you to the key branches of what's on offer.

Fallout 4 Main quest path

• Out of Time - Initial quest
• When Freedom Calls - Completion leads into Minutemen quests
• Jewel of the Commonwealth - Initiated before completing previous quest
• Unlikely Valentine
• Getting A Clue
• Dangerous Minds
• The Glowing Sea
• Hunter/Hunted
• The Molecular Level
• Institutionalised

At this point the main quest can go in one of four directions, depending on which factions you've been working with, which faction you chose to help you with The Molecular Level, and whether you choose to continue in your current allegiance or switch sides. You'll notice three of the faction questlines contain one quest with the same name; you can't please everyone, and you will end up p**sing off one side or another, no matter what you do. See our how to get the best ending guide for further information - and spoilers.

Help with the Hypothesis radiant quest? Is this a bug?

Playstation 4 pc playstation 5 xbox series x xbox one pc, fallout 4 (playstation 4).

• I collared a Super Mutant Overlord at Wilson Atomatoys Corporate HQ as apart of one of Mason's radiant quests of Nuka World. However, I also had Clayton's Institute quest for Super Mutant tissue samples in my quest log which was for the same location. Right now, my quest marker takes me to the Nuka World Market, but the Super Mutant Overlord isn't even there. I also can't talk to Clayton to drop the quest for another radiant quest. Dialogue irrelevant to the quest pops up. Is this a bug and are there any possible fixes on the PS4? PorterGage - 7 years ago - report
• Yes Radiant quests can bug out. You can try and become hostile to the institute to fail all institute affiliated quests associated with them. This will clear your quest list and maybe fix your issue? Note this will make you enemies of the institute so dismiss X6-88 back to the institute otherwise if he was at a settlement he will be hostile and attack everyone.

Fallout 4 Underground Undercover quest guide – How to initiate the Synth rebellion 

Underground Undercover is a main quest in the Railroad faction storyline in Fallout 4 , and it involves helping the Synths within the Institute stage a rebellion and escape.

There are a lot of steps to this quest, so we will be looking at what you need to do to complete this Fallout 4 mission and claim your reward.

Underground Undercover Fallout 4 quest guide

1) speak to desdemona before you teleport to the institute, 2) upload the holotape , 3) meet up with patriot, 4) file your mission report on p.a.m.’s terminal, 5) go to cambridge polymer labs, 6) complete the research project, 7) return to railroad hq, 8) go to the institute, 9) kill the guards, 10) keep helping father, 11) speak with z1-14 for the last time, 12) warn the railroad.

The quest begins when you have done all the work necessary to create the teleporting device to enter the Institute. Desdemona will tell you about Patriot , the Railroad’s person inside the Institute who has been helping the Railroad get Synths out of the organization.

Talk to Tinker Tom , and he’ll give you an encoded holotape that can be uploaded to any terminal in the Institute to contact Patriot. Once you have obtained it, step onto the teleporter pedestal to transport to the Institute.

Interact with any Institute terminal and load in the holotape called “Network Scanner.”  You’ll then receive a message from Patriot and a marker on your Pip-Boy will direct you to an in-person meeting with Patriot in the maintenance room in the Advanced Systems area .

Patriot’s real name is Liam Binet . He’ll lead you to his Synth accomplice, Z1-14 . They will formulate a plan to rescue 13 Synths , but you’ll need a Pre-War username and password to bypass the security. Liam asks you to discuss the issue with the Railroad; you can then leave the Institute and return to the Railroad HQ.

At Railroad HQ, speak to Desdemona. She’ll direct you to the modified Assaultron P.A.M. and her terminal to input a report . P.A.M will then direct you to Cambridge Polymer Labs and the login details of a worker there, Wilfred Bergman .

To start your search for Bergman’s login credentials, go to the Cambridge Polymer Labs laboratory area. The terminal you need is on the second floor . The room is locked with an Expert-level terminal . If you can, hack it (you can use Nick Valentine if he’s your current companion).

If you don’t have Nick or can’t hack Expert terminals, go into the opposite room on the second floor where you’ll find a collapsed ceiling that acts as a ramp, allowing you to get into a space in the roof. Walk through the roof space until you can go no further and jump down through a hole beneath you.

You’ll need to complete a research project side quest in the labs if you want to get out of the building, as a robot called Molly has locked the exits.

In the main work area of the labs, there’s a terminal with two slots on one side and one slot on the other side. You’ll need to find the correct two chemical agents and one isotope. You need lithium hydride (sample 3111) and gold (sample 611). The chemical agents aren’t too hard to spot, as they are in silver canisters.

The gold sample can be found in the same room as Bergman’s terminal, whereas the other sample is on the floor below. The isotope you need— U-238 — is in an irradiated area that needs to be unlocked with a terminal. The Isotope Containment terminal is on the same floor as sample 3111, in the room next door. When this is done, head into the irradiated area to pick up the U-238 (the room is found to the right of the stairs you initially went up). Pop some Rad-X and have RadAway to hand before you head in.

Go to the terminal and insert the collected canisters on the left and the isotope on the right. You’ll earn the Piezonucleic Power Armor Chest, and Molly will let you out of the Clean Room so you can exit the building.

Head back to Railroad HQ and speak with Desdemona. She’s concocting a bigger plan: She wants to try and free every Synth in the Institute . Desdemona wants you to cut Liam loose once you give him the password and work solely with his Synth accomplice Z1-14.

Fast travel back to the Institute and give Liam the password or speak to Z1-14. You need to do both, so order doesn’t matter. Z1-14 will agree to Desdemona’s plan, but he needs time to organize the Synths. You’ll be instructed to wait for 24 hours before speaking to him again. Choose a seat and press the prompted button to wait .

Once you have waited, speak to Z1-14 again, and he will confirm enough Synths are willing to get in on the plan. The main issue now is the group is unarmed . Z1-14 has a plan to take out some Institute guards and stage the deaths so the Synths can take their weapons. Since the Synths are yet to be armed, you’ll need to go down to the tunnels and take out the guards.

You can also go to the room opposite where you met Liam and transfer any weapons you want into a locke r to aid with the Synth rebellion.

Follow the Pip-Boy marker to find the elevator to take you down to the tunnels. Take out the guards and return to Z1-14.

Z1-14 will tell you to keep helping Father so suspicions aren’t raised. You’ll need to complete the Institute quest line up to the “Powering Up” quest ; the final Institute mission. When you get to this mission, you’ll be tasked by Father to eliminate the Railroad.

You’ll be prompted to speak with Z1-14 a final time, and he’ll tell you the Brotherhood of Steel has found the Railroad and is planning an attack. He asks you to warn the Railroad (it’s not a timed task, so don’t worry if you want to finish other missions first), so head to the HQ and speak to Desdemona .

When you have warned the Railroad, the final quest of the game will begin, and you’ll have locked in your allegiance with the Railroad . The Underground Undercover quest will be complete, and you’ll be rewarded with the Railway rifle weapon.

How To Get Every Ending In Fallout 4

Every major fallout 4 faction, ranked, 10 harsh realities of playing fallout 4.

• Fallout 4 's side quests offer a mix of lighthearted, serious, and downright weird adventures to keep players entertained.
• From eerie environments to unsettling discoveries, these quests can leave a lasting impression on the Sole Survivor.
• Whether exploring a strange wedding, meeting a ghoul child in a fridge, or uncovering a cannery's dark secrets, expect the unexpected in the Commonwealth.

While Fallout 4 's main story focuses on a missing child and the fate of the Commonwealth, the huge RPG also offers a plethora of faction-based and side quests to keep the Sole Survivor busy. While some of those will be lighthearted, there are many that tackle the more serious aspects of a post-apocalyptic world. And then there are some that are just plain weird or even spine-chilling.

While the Brotherhood of Steel might send the Sole Survivor to hunt down tech and the Minutemen need another settlement defended, there are some side quests in Fallout 4 that can leave a lasting impression for other reasons. From uncomfortable discoveries to eerie environments, there is no shortage of strange adventures in the Commonwealth . Whether it's because they were particularly creepy or left the Sole Survivor with head-scratching questions, these quests are worth playthrough at least once.

Fallout 4 has four different endings correlating to one of the four main factions; the Minutemen, the Brotherhood, the Railroad, or the Institute.

10 Visions In The Fog

Mind-bending trip through the fog of far harbor.

"Visions in the Fog" is part of the main questline for the excellent Fallout 4 DLC Far Harbor . The quest begins after speaking with Grand Zealot Richter, who will send the Sole Survivor to one of the Children of Atom's sacred sites . The aim is to drink irradiated water and go on a vision quest in order to join the odd faction. However, the relatively straightforward goal is not what makes this a weird quest.

"Visions in the Fog" is an unsettling quest to complete as the strange effect of the water twists the world and how it is perceived. Shapes warp and shift as the Sole Survivor travels through the landscape , giving a feeling of vulnerability in the altered state. The overall effect can feel overwhelming, as suddenly every shadow feels like a threat and actual enemies can easily get the drop on the character.

9 Wedding Day

True love conquers all.

Like all good RPGs, Fallout 4 includes its fair share of romance with plenty of the Sole Survivor's companions available for a cuddle to gain the Lover's Embrace perk. However, love isn't limited to just the main characters and with the quirky side quest " Wedding Day, " there is the opportunity to help some lovebirds tie the knot. What makes this a little more unusual is that while the groom is a middle-aged human teacher, the bride is a robot .

While chatting to the Miss Nanny Diamond City schoolhouse assistant, Miss Edna, the General Atomics classic may start asking about love and romance. Telling her that love is worth the risk and could happen to anyone will be enough to convince her to tell her colleague Mr. Zwicky how she feels . After that, if Diamond City is returned to after a few days, the Sole Survivor might be lucky enough to see the happy couple exchanging their vows with Pastor Clements.

8 Kid In A Fridge

Billy seems to alter established fallout ghoul lore.

From creepy and atmospheric to just plain weird and confusing, and one of the oddest Fallout 4 side quests that the Sole Survivor can stumble across. While exploring the area south of University Point, a voice can be heard coming from a fridge. Opening the battered kitchen appliance will reveal Billy, a ghoul child who claims to have been trapped inside for 200 years since the bombs fell. Billy wants to find his parents and will need to be escorted back to the family home just outside of Quincy, where, inexplicably, both his parents are still alive and also ghouls.

“Kid in a Fridge” is a somewhat lighthearted quest, but even within the Fallout universe, it makes no sense whatsoever. There are no answers in the game to how he survived for 200 years without food and water in an airtight container , and the more Billy is thought about and analyzed, the more questions arise, which makes "Kid in a Fridge" definitely one of the strangest quests to encounter.

7 The Devil’s Due

Who wouldn’t want to be trapped with a deathclaw.

For good old-fashioned scary weird, then "The Devil's Due" is a fantastic quest that can be picked up by overhearing gossip, usually from a guard in Diamond City. Located in the northeast of the Commonwealth, the Museum of Witchcraft is as spooky as it sounds, although not for the reasons one might expect . Outside will be the body of a Gunner and a holotape which will set the scene for this creepy quest.

It is once the Sole Survivor is inside that the fun really begins, with brilliant environmental storytelling and lots of triggered events . Growling can be heard while traveling through the building, with body parts occasionally dropping down to provide jump scares. Longtime Fallout fans will have already guessed who the culprit is long before the Deathclaw is revealed, but it is her reasons for being there that can add an extra level of tragedy to this chilling quest.

6 Mystery Meat

Perhaps better to be vegetarian in the wasteland.

Longneck Lukowski's Cannery is a factory located in the northeast of the Commonwealth, just a little south along the coast from Kingsport Lighthouse. Upon arriving there, the Sole Survivor will overhear an argument between the owner, Theodore, and a trader who is upset about her customers becoming ill after eating Theodore's meat and the quest "Mystery Meat" will begin. After she leaves, Theodore will hire the Sole Survivor to clear out some mole rats, but tells them not to go into the basement.

Of course, when entering the basement, the reason becomes clear, as Theodore has been using mole rats in his meat to increase profits. Further exploring, though, will reveal why "Mystery Meat" is such a weird quest because, on top of the mole rats, Theodore is also using feral ghoul flesh in his product . After his disgusting secret is exposed, Theodore will become hostile, with the only option to stop his vile business being to kill him.

If Theodore is approached during the fight, he will plead to be spared and offer to split the profits of the business with the Sole Survivor. Theodore will then continue selling ghoul meat, but the Sole Survivor can get some caps every few days for agreeing to this evil Fallout 4 deed .

There are some great factions in Fallout 4 with a mixture of new and returning groups for the Sole Survivor to meet and potentially join up with.

5 Human Error

Things are far too good to be true in covenant.

The settlement of Covenant is a curious place and strange all on its own without even delving into the quest "Human Error." Located not too far from Lexington, the walled-off village sits directly between Mystic Pines and Taffington Boathouse. When first arriving, the Sole Survivor will be asked to take a test to be allowed entry and any who have played Fallout 3 will recognize this as a modified G.O.A.T. from the beginning of the previous game.

Things only get stranger from there as the settlement has an eerie Stepford Wives feel, which is compounded when speaking with a caravan guard called Honest Dan who is looking for some missing traders. A thorough investigation will reveal that the town is a front for anti-synth conspiracists who have been kidnapping people to try to perfect a test to detect synths. From here, Covenant can either be sided with and the "testing" continues or the captives freed, resulting in the settlers becoming hostile.

4 Pickman’s Gift

Pickman’s art is not to everyone’s taste.

The Pickman Gallery can be visited either after speaking with Hancock and getting the short quest "Art Appreciation," or by exploring the area north of Boston close to the Cabot House and Old North Church. Inside, the works of a deranged mind are displayed along with several very angry raiders who are looking for the artist. It seems Pickman has been killing their friends to use in his art, which is a collection of unsettling paintings and sculptures.

Exploring the gallery gives insight into the strange world of this artist until he is eventually met in the tunnels beneath, under attack from raiders. If Pickman is aided, he can be spoken to and his sinister calmness is disturbing as the serial killer will thank the Sole Survivor and promise a reward. This reward is equally creepy, as Pickman's Blade will cause targets extra bleeding damage.

3 Brain Dead

A wacky murder mystery with fun pre-war characters.

"Brain Dead" is a strange and funny quest that can be picked up during the Far Harbor DLC when returning to Far Harbor after competing "Walk in the Park." Once back, a Miss Nanny named Pearl can be found asking for help in the settlement and following Captain Avery around. She will explain that there has been a murder and asks for the Sole Survivor to investigate at the Cliff's Edge Hotel.

Upon arriving, the Sole Survivor will be led into one of Fallout 4 's seven vaults , Vault 118, a luxury vault filled with affluent pre-war dwellers who are all now robobrains. What follows is a fantastically silly murder mystery with a great twist regarding the victim and murderer. With a great mix of humor, characters and a very different vault setting, "Brain Dead" is one of the best Far Harbor side quests for XP .

2 The Secret Of Cabot House

Learn the secret of the strange alien artifact.

"The Secret of Cabot House" is the final quest in the trio involving the mysterious Cabot family. The family lives in their pristine pre-war home in the northern area of Boston, just over the bridge from Bunker Hill, and will initially hire the Sole Survivor for seemingly odd jobs. However, as "The Secret of Cabot House" begins, they will be asked to accompany Jack Cabot to Parsons State Insane Asylum to prevent raiders from releasing the family patriarch.

The entire quest is packed with environmental storytelling as the true nature of the asylum and Jack's role in his father's imprisonment is unveiled. Things only get stranger when Lorenzo is met and the odd artifact is shown , with the Sole Survivor having to make a moral choice between father and son. "The Secret of Cabot House" is a wonderfully weird quest pulled straight out of Lovecraft, with hints of eldritch horrors or perhaps aliens behind Lorenzo's crown.

1 Dunwich Borers

Flashbacks of an eldritch god.

Although not technically a quest on its own, there are several side quests throughout Fallout 4 that will direct the Sole Survivor to Dunwich Borers, a quarry in the northeastern area of the Commonwealth, directly east of The Slog. At first, there is nothing remarkable about this quarry, with raiders who will attack on sight as the area is cleared. However, once the interior area of the site is entered, strange things will begin to happen .

The Sole Survivor will experience flashbacks to the pre-war quarry and hear odd rumbling and footsteps. The further into the area the Sole Survivor travels, the more disturbing the flashbacks become, including some rituals while gigantic statues look out from beneath the earth , all adding to the sense that something terrible happened here. Finally, an altar to the eldritch entity Ug-Qualtoth can be found, along with the unique machete Kremvh's Tooth, as the final stop on this disturbing Fallout 4 journey.

Bethesda's action RPG Fallout 4 puts players into the vault suit of the Lone Survivor, a pre-war soldier from an alternate future cryogenically frozen inside Vault 111. After their infant son is kidnapped, they venture out into the irradiated wasteland of the Commonwealth to scour the ruins of Boston for any sign of him. In doing so, they encounter various factions and companions and use an array of skills and abilities to navigate the apocalyptic remnants of society.

Fallout 4: What to do When You Can't Find Dogmeat

Best fallout 4 power armor modifications, fallout 4: 6 facts you didn’t know about ghouls, quick links, how to start the big dig, the big dig walkthrough, side with bobbi or fahrenheit.

Fallout 4 has seen a massive increase in players ever since Bethesda worked with Amazon to release the Fallout TV show. For those wanting the best gameplay in a Fallout game, this game is certainly the one to try out.

Within the game, players will come across countless quests (and some are better than others ). One game that players will come across is known as "The Big Dig," and it is a pretty suspicious quest. Here's how players can find and complete this quest.

Fallout 4: How to Access the USS Constitution

The U.S.S. Constitution is an interesting historical ship in Fallout 4. Here's how to find it and complete its quest.

To begin this quest, players should head to Goodneighbor, a neighborhood around Boston . The area is actually to the northwest of the Harbormaster Hotel , an area that is essential to the quest "All Hallow's Eve." Once players make it to Goodneighbor, they can head to the backstreet to the building known as " Bobbi's Place " (which is also located on the local map). Once there, Bobbi will ask if the player is interested in a job, and if they say yes, she will let them in.

Once inside her house, Bobbi will tell you that the job is a very delicate job that requires not asking any questions and just doing what she says. She will then send you down a hole to a place known as " The Dig ." Upon reaching the area, the player and the two who have already been hired are attacked by Mirelurks, who need to be killed. The fellow workers will then run off, leaving you and Bobbi to figure out what to do next.

The Darkest Things You Can Do In Fallout 4

Staying true to the Fallout pedigree, Fallout 4 allows players to make some truly evil choices. These are the darkest of them.

Bobbi will send the player to Diamond City to meet her in order to continue the dig. Once there, she will say that she has someone in mind to help with the mission, but there is a bit of a problem. Apparently, the person she wants to hire is currently in jail, which means the player needs to break them out. She will then admit that her ultimate goal is to break into the strongroom under Diamond City in order to steal from the mayor and make tons of Caps. The player will then need to head to Diamond City's Security Office .

Inside the Security Office, the player will find Mel sitting in a cell. There are several ways to break him out, especially after speaking with him. Remember, if a guard catches anyone committing a crime, they will turn hostile. Here is every way that he can be broken out of his cell:

• Pickpocket a key from a guard and sneak him out.
• Steal a key from the office nearby and sneak him out.
• Hack the Police Protectron nearby to kill the guards.
• Bribe the guards to let him out.
• Wait one day, and he will be released from jail.

Once Mel is released, tell him about Bobbi's plan, and he will meet the player and Bobbi at The Dig.

Here's what to do when you can't find Dogmeat in Fallout 4 to help you quickly reunite with your furry companion!

Once everyone is back at The Dig, Mel will announce that he has built a robot named Sonya. Sonya will blast through the dig site to make it easier to reach the strongroom. From here, enter the dig site and look for walls that can be interacted with; these are the ones that Sonya can destroy. Bobbi mentions that the group will want to continue heading southwest to reach the location under Diamond City. However, Mel will consistently mention that he thinks they are heading too far south to be headed toward Diamond City.

As the group continues through the tunnels, they will run into enemies each time they enter into a new area. Eventually, Bobbi will mention that they have reached below a brewery, which will require the player to interact with a nearby terminal in order to continue. Once the door is opened, several Feral Ghouls will attack the group. Once they are taken care of, head to the final wall the Sonya needs to destroy.

There are a lot of great Power Armor mods to use in Fallout 4. Here's how to make some of the best.

At this point, a lot of players report a glitch that doesn't allow them to interact with the final wall of the quest. However, this isn't a glitch at all. Instead of interacting with the wall, speak to Mel once he and Bobbi are in the room. He will mention that beyond the wall is the strongroom, but he doesn't believe Bobbi that it is actually below Diamond City. The player will need to tell him they are ready to blow through it. Once this final wall is down, Bobbi and Mel will disagree that they are under the mayor's office of Diamond City. No matter which the player sides with, Bobbi will get her way, and Mel will have Sonya destroy the ceiling, allowing the trio to enter the strongroom.

Fallout 4 players might not spend a lot of time thinking about the feral ghouls inhabiting the world, but here are a few facts they should know.

Once inside the strongroom, the group is stopped by Fahrenheit, who will tell the player and Mel that Bobbi has lied to them. The strongroom isn't in Diamond City at all; instead, it is owned by Goodneighbor's mayor, Hancock. From here, the player must decide what to do:

• Stay with Bobbi
• Betray Bobbi
• Convince Bobbi to leave

If Bobbi is convinced to leave, Fahrenheit will give the player the Ashmaker, a legendary minigun. If she is betrayed, the player will be forced to kill Bobbi to help the mayor, and Fahrenheit will give them the Ashmaker. Finally, if they stay with Bobbi, Fahrenheit will be killed, and the gun can be looted from her body. For convincing her to leave or killing her, Hancock will become a follower. If the player stays with Bobbi, they will need to kill her for the mayor before he becomes a follower. The best option is to convince her to leave , but if that isn't an option, then killing her is probably the best choice.

Fallout 4 players realise they've been building settlements wrong for years

For the love of– how did we not see this sooner.

We can’t be alone in our love of building settlements in Fallout 4 .

During every playthrough, without fail, I focus on making my settlements as nice as possible; Shaun can wait to be found.

Yet, after all this time, I, and many other players, are discovering they’ve been coming at these Fallout 4 settlements all wrong.

Oh, the shame!

Are you ready to leave the vault in Fallout 4 ?

A Reddit thread alerted us to the error of our ways, and while we’re grateful to know where it all went wrong, the shame and embarrassment clings to us.

Did you know you caravans can come to your settlements?

“I missed this for years,” admitted the same Redditor who alerted us to this detail.

Apparently, to make your caravan dreams come true, all you need to do is complete two Bunker Hill quests.

It’s really that simple.

Once you’ve done this, head into the resources section of your settlement building menu and select misc.

This is almost on par with how horrified we felt when we learned we’d been managing our inventory all wrong for years. Again, it’s a small comfort to know that plenty of other fans have made these mistakes too.

At least we know now though, eh?

When this section of the Bethesda fandom comes together, it can do great things – like campaign to get Mr House on the Las Vegas sphere .

It won’t actually help anyone cover over the cracks of their past playthrough mistakes, but it would be a satisfying nod to one of the best games in the franchise.

We all know the way to get the best Fallout experience is to visit New Vegas.

Alongside caravans being able to stop at your settlements, there are numerous other “small things” “easily missed” when wandering the Wasteland.

It’s high time you took a breather to check you’re not missing out on too many helpful features.

Background [ ]

The Institute is the hidden headquarters of the organization known as the Institute , located deep underground. The Institute was built upon the ruins of the Commonwealth Institute of Technology . [1] While the college itself lay in ruins for more than two centuries, at the time of the Great War , those present took refuge underground. [1]

The Institute was formally founded by the children of the original survivors from the C.I.T., who dug into the earth and built increasingly sophisticated residential facilities and laboratories, starting an ongoing process of infrastructure expansion. [2]

Due to the absence of sunlight, the Institute is perpetually illuminated by artificial means. A quiet time running from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. has been established for the well-being of the inhabitants. [3] The Institute has its own day and night cycle system, as the window lights on the ceiling will close when it is considered night. The shutters also have holes or small lights in them which mimic stars.

The Institute [ ]

The main hub of the Institute, the concourse is a large cylindrical subterranean structure with four floors. Hallways wrap around the outside of the cylinder, with the central open atrium featuring trees, fountains, and a helix-shaped elevator to the surface levels where the teleporter is located. The four main divisions of the Institute (Advanced Systems, BioScience, Robotics, and Synth Retention) are along the perimeter of the concourse, as are residential areas and both traders.

Advanced Systems [ ]

The Advanced Systems division specializes in applied physics, including plasma weaponry and teleportation, as well as other special projects, such as the Institute reactor . Evan Watson , who gives the quest Appropriation , is here. Young Shaun can also be found here following the first meeting with Father . The division's head is Madison Li . The area consists of a small central lab with multiple workstations, connected to which are a firing range used to test new weaponry, Madison Li's office, and the forcefield -blocked entrance to the Institute reactor (an old C.I.T. experimental nuclear reactor), only accessible during the quests The Nuclear Option or Powering Up .

BioScience [ ]

The Bioscience division specializes in botany, genetics, and medicine, and is the primary supplier of water and edible foodstuffs for the Institute . It cultivates highly specialized breeds of flora for use in food and medicine, and has started experimenting with creating synthetic animals, such as gorillas . Isaac Karlin , who gives the quest Building a Better Crop , and Clayton Holdren , who gives the quest Hypothesis , are here. The division's head is Clayton Holdren. The area consists of a large central lab with a series of connected adjacent workshops and storerooms. The area consists of a large central lab with a series of connected adjacent workshops and storerooms, as well as two entrances to the FEV lab : a Master-locked terminal to deactivate a laser grid on the north side of the central lab, and a Novice-locked door in the back hallways to the east.

FEV lab [ ]

The FEV lab is an abandoned section of the facility where the Institute tried to unlock the secrets of the FEV , and is the source of most of the super mutants in the Commonwealth. [4] . The experimental serum that Virgil asks the player character to retrieve to cure his mutation is found here. The two entrances to the FEV lab, one via a Master-locked terminal and the other via a Novice-locked door, are in the BioScience division.

Old Robotics [ ]

Old Robotics is a sealed, dilapidated section of the facility, only accessible during the quest The Nuclear Option . It's inhabited by many hostile synths and four laser turrets , which can be deactivated using a terminal. On the main floor, there is a sentry bot which can be activated using the robotics terminal; it will fight the synths on the assembly floor, but will also be hostile to the player character. The exit is through a circular hatch in the back of the main assembly floor, which will lead to the BioScience division.

Public works [ ]

The public works are accessed from an underwater pipe due south of Ticonderoga , which leads into a small flooded underground room. The rest of the sewer system is only accessible during the quest The Nuclear Option on behalf of the Minutemen.

Reactor [ ]

The reactor room is only accessible through the Advanced Systems division during the quest The Nuclear Option , or after completing the quest Mass Fusion for the Institute. Upon entering, a long sloped hallway leads to a larger room with the reactor in the middle, accessible by a catwalk. Depending on which faction the Sole Survivor chooses, the events that take place here will vary.

Robotics [ ]

The Robotics division specializes in the construction of third-generation synths. Alan Binet , who gives the quest Pest Control , is here, and is the division's head. The area consists of a single large room containing the Institute's massive synth assembler. A constant stream of synths are assembled in a central pool, then climb out and walk into the inaccessible processing section.

Sublevel 21-D [ ]

Sublevel 21-D is a very small area accessible only by an elevator in the concourse. It contains a storage room and heavy construction equipment being used to expand the Institute's infrastructure.

Synth Retention [ ]

The Synth Retention division specializes in the recovery and rehabilitation of escaped synths. The division is the command and research space of the Synth Retention Bureau . Justin Ayo , who eventually gives the quest Political Leanings , and Alana Secord , who gives the quest Reclamation , are here. X6-88 can also be found here if the Sole Survivor did not recruit him as a companion. The division's head is Justin Ayo. The area consists of a command center, armory, lobby, and reclamation chamber featuring a reclamation chair .

Notable loot [ ]

Loot will become unavailable if banished from the Institute , or after completing The Nuclear Option for any of the three factions. See the section articles linked below for lists of items.

• Advanced Systems
• Old Robotics
• Public works
• Sublevel 21-D

Fallout 4 Fans Are Begging Bethesda To Stop Updating The Game

L ast month, Bethesda released a “next-gen” update for Fallout 4 across all platforms intended to improve the aging RPG. Instead, it broke tons of popular mods and made the game buggier for some players, too . To fix that, Bethesda has released another update. The reaction from fans has mostly been negative, with people asking Bethesda to stop updating Fallout 4. Please.

On April 25, Bethesda published an update for Fallout 4, its nearly decade-old post-apocalyptic open-world RPG. The patch had been teased years earlier but didn’t land until shortly after the launch of the Fallout show on Amazon . The “next-gen” update was intended to fix some old issues, improve performance, and, overall, make it a better game in 2024. Instead, it broke popular mods , caused a fan-developed expansion to be delayed, added new glitches, and was seen by many as unneeded. And Bethesda’s attempt to fix its blunder with another new update is going over about as well as a nuclear bomb blast.

On May 13, following a recent announcement, Bethesda pushed out a new update for Fallout 4 — “Next-Gen Update 2" —intended to fix up the last patch. The patch notes were shared on the day of the update and revealed it to be mainly focused on fixing performance on consoles and adding new settings options for those players. Players online report fewer crashes on PS5, and the annoying red texture bug seems to have been fixed. That’s about all the good news.

Across social media, Reddit, and Steam forums, players have complained that bugs and problems introduced with the new update still remain.

This includes a bug that makes VATS less reliable, a sound de-sync issue on PC that is annoying players, some quests still being broken for some players, a lack of a true ultra widescreen option on PC, and more. Other players have complained about poor performance in some areas that were running fine before, new crashes when trying to do certain actions, and a lack of an FOV slider on consoles.

Fallout 4 mods are broken...again

PC players are also annoyed that this new update has broken mods again. Specifically, it appears Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE) is no longer compatible. This mod was the backbone for many popular small and big mods, including the recently delayed Fallout: London fan-created expansion .

While F4SE will be fixed, again, many players are fed up with Bethesda’s Fallout 4 patches and just want the company to leave the game alone. Across the internet, you can find PC players begging the Starfield publisher to just stop updating the game on Steam and let modders fix these problems instead. Their reasoning is that Bethesda seems unable or unwilling to fix certain things or to add much-requested features, and that modders do a better job at improving the game at this point.

In fact, a lot of players have pointed out that before the next-gen update, Fallout 4 on PC—with the right mods—was a much better-playing and more modern-looking game compared to the current official version. But who knows, maybe a future update from Bethesda will fix all of Fallout 4...for real this time.
