VERY IMPORTANT
ALL DONE HERE, NOW RELOAD THAT PREVIOUS HARDSAVE (CRITICAL HS) YOU MADE AT THE START OF THE QUEST[TACTICAL THINKING]. UPON RELOADING THE ‘CRITICAL HS’, YOU SHOULD BE AT THE POINT WHERE YOU HAVE JUST COMPLETED THE [BLIND BETRAYAL] QUEST.
The Prydwen
Make sure you have read the and done what is instructed in the Highlighted VERY IMPORTANT part above before proceeding further
1. Now we’re back on track, so you should be on THE PRYDWEN just after receiving the Quest [TACTICAL THINKING] (DO NOT PROGRESS ANY STEPS ON THIS QUEST).
2. Deselect [TACTICAL THINKING] and then head to Teagan the BOS Vendor on the Main Deck.
3. We need to purchase VERTIBIRD GRENADES from Teagan (we need 55 in total), so do the following;
- Buy all he has in stock, then use the Chair around the corner in the Power Armour Workshop area
- Then wait for 48hrs to restock Teagan
- Now buy the VERTIBIRD GRENADES again and repeat until you have 55 VERTIBIRD GRENADES (you only need 50 but we will take 55 just to be safe).
- This is also a good chance to stock up on 10mm if you need more!
4. If you don’t already have the HACK and LOCKPICK Trophies, then you can HACK the MASTER TERMINAL and/or PICK the Door LOCK next to Teagans store. This TERMINAL and LOCK RESETwhen you wait for 48-72hrs so now is a good time to acquire them last few HACKS/PICKS to give you 50 to earn the Trophies.
5. Once you have the 55 VERTIBIRD GRENADES, and have acquired the Trophies below, warp to SANCTUARY;
WHATS YOURS IS MINE (pick 50 locks)
ROBCOS WORST NIGHTMARE (hack 50 terminals)
Sanctuary
1. Find a Open area of the road here with minimal obstacles either side. Then place a > Workshop > Furniture > Chairs > BENCH on each side of the road (the Vertibird will be landing in the center of the road), then perform the following;
- Once ready, Equip your VERTIBIRD GRENADES and throw 1 in the center of the road in- between the 2 Benches you just placed.
- As soon as the Vertibird lands, board it and exit straight away, then wait on the nearest Bench for 1hr.
- Now get up and throw another VERTIBIRD GRENADE in the center of the road again
- Then board and exit the Vertibird as soon as it lands and then wait for 1hr again on the nearest Bench.
Now simply repeat this until you have completed 50 Misc Objectives (Boarding called Vertibirds count as a Misc Objective) and the Trophy below has popped.
