  Complete "When Freedom Calls"

  (1)

  Quest Giver: Preston
  Location: Concord - Museum of Freedom

  If you are struggling against the Deathclaw your best bet is to enter a building and shoot at it from there. Deathclaws cannot enter through doorways so you can essentially bait the creature toward the door and shred it from inside safety. After killing the Raiders in Corvega Assembly Plant for the settlers of Tenpines Bluff, report back to Preston. When speaking with him, he'll insist that you should lead the Minutemen due to your success with the mission. Accept the offer and the achievement will unlock, as well as the ability to have Preston as a companion.

  Quest Giver: Virgil
  Location: C.I.T. and nearby area

  You are working with Virgil at this point to find a way into the Institute. He has you hunting down a courser to get their chip which will help with teleportation. The fight can be rather difficult in the confined space you battle him so bringing a companion can help take some of the pressure off of you.

  Also, if you continue to feed chems to Mama Murphy she will actually give you a courser deactivation code in one of her visions. This is a good route to take if you want to avoid the tough battle.

•

You simply must get the chip analyzed (Railroad do it), and then return to Virgil. After you speak with Virgil he will inform you that you need help to make the signal interceptor. You can choose the Brotherhood, the Railroad, or the Minutemen to be the helpers for this project. Choose a faction here will not bar you from working with other factions, or with the Institute later.

• 

  Old Guns

  30

  Complete "Old Guns"

  Location: Sanctuary

  Once you complete "Taking Independence,"Preston will give you three new quests. After completing any one of these quests and returning to Sanctuary to hand it in, Preston will let you know that there is trouble at the Castle. This will trigger "Old Guns,"a quest that leads you and Ronnie Shaw into the tunnels underneath the Castle in order to access the old bastion. When venturing down there, watch your step for pesky land mines and be prepared to face off against a high-leveled sentry robot. From here, simply carry on towards the bastion and help set up some new artillery equipment around the fort. When you're all done, head back to Preston to turn in the quest.

  Quest Giver: Elder Maxson
  Location: The Prydwen/Listening Post Bravo

  Blind Betrayal is a pivotal quest in the Brotherhood quest line. You will be dealing with Paladin Danse and his future. Beware that this quest can end Danse's life so if you do not play it right, or do not get his companion perk before hand, you may be locked out of it later. I will avoid spoiling more, but I do suggest you save often during the quest just to be sure you get the outcome you desire.

•

  MISSABLE!

  Quest Giver: Elder Maxson

  This is the second to last main mission in the Brotherhood of Steel line. The first quarter of the mission are filled with following and placing items, but the majority of the missions deals with Liberty Prime and following it. Liberty Prime is an absolute juggernaut so there is no need to be out in front of it during the mission, simply follow behind and help kill enemies. Be care though, Prime drops lots of nukes so do not get too close to enemies he is engaging.

• 

  Benevolent Leader

  20

  Reach Maximum Happiness in a Large Settlement

  (41)

  This achievement is not as difficult or time consuming as you may think. Check the wiki HERE if you want detailed information on the mechanics behind how happiness is computed and what affects it. See below for the fastest, easiest, cheapest way to pop the achievement.

  What you will need:

  • Player level 20, Charisma level 6, Local Leader perk level 2, and Cap Collector perk level 2
    1 water pump (resources > water > water pump)
    • 1 Concrete
      4 steel
      1 gear
    1 max level Bar (stores > food and drinks > restaurant)
    • 5 wood
      1500 bottlecaps
      3 steel
    1 bed (sleeping bag is the cheapest to build) (furniture > beds > sleeping bag)
    • 3 cloth
    2 turrets (defense > turrets > machinegun turret)
    • 16 steel
      2 circuitry
      4 gear
      4 oil
    15-30 days worth of food units stored in the workshop. note: 1 mutfruit = 1 unit, all other food 2 = 1 unit
    1 person. Can be a settler or a humanoid companion.

  Build your water pump, put the food in the workshop, build the bed indoors, set up your turrets, build the max level Bar (under stores > food and drink) and then assign your person to work the bar.

  With everything except the bar, your single person settlement should reach 80 happiness. With the bar, you add 40/# of settlers to your settlements happiness. Hence, with 1 person, you should reach 100 fairly quickly. The number will rise pretty quickly at first jumping 4 points at a time before it trickles down to single point increases and then reaches 100.

  That's it. From there you can go about your questing and exploring business and the happiness will slowly rise. No need to sit and wait or sleep to wait and remain tied to the settlement. You may want to check back periodically to ensure the arrow is still pointing up on the happiness meter and they still have plenty of food.

  Some people have reported the achievement unlocking without the size bar having changed color to indicate a "large" settlement. If you reach 100 happiness and it hasn't popped; the cheapest way to increase your settlement size is to build several of the wooden crate containers (furniture > containers > wooden crate) for 3 wood each.

  This is certainly not the only way to pop this achievement, but it is the simplest. You should be able to use any settlement for this, however, I do recommend Red Rocket or Starlight Drive-In simply because they don't start with any occupants so you have complete control over what and who is in them without having to do any extra work.

  Gun-For-Hire

  Complete 10 Side Quests

  (1)

  Side Quests are bigger quests that are not related to the main story or factions story lines. You will definitely earn this simply by clearing quests out of your data. Just to give you an idea of what it may look like here is still-frame of my data-stats-quest section.

  • Quests Completed - 60
  • Misc Objectives Completed - 44
  • Main Quests Completed - 8
  • Side Quests Completed - 21
  • Brotherhood of Steel Quests Completed - 7
  • Minutemen Quests Completed - 21

  As you can see about 1/3 of the quests I completed thus far have been 'side quests'. You should have no problem earning this without having to go out of your way.

  You can also utilize this list to find specific side quests.

• 

  Mercenary

  30

  Complete 50 Misc. Objectives

  (7)

  Miscellaneous objectives are small favors/quests that aren't necessarily significant enough to be classified as a side quest. One such objective entails bringing some Jet to Mama Murphy once you reach Sanctuary. Various other objectives such as small fetch-like favors can be triggered frequently so long as you speak to everyone you come across in the Commonwealth.

  To track these objectives, bring up the Pip-Boy. Under DATA, then QUESTS, you should see a tab labeled "Miscellaneous." Any and all objectives listed here can be marked as your active quest for the time being. Completing 50 of these small objectives will come naturally over the course of your playthrough. Just remember to talk to everyone in order to pick up leads, favors, and tasks.

  One good area to farm misc. objectives would be the Diamond City wanted board. You can continuously return to the board to get new wanted tasks. If you look to the left of Moe's Swatter Shop you will see the Wanted board.

  

  A second excellent strategy is to call in the vertibird using the Brotherhood smoke grenades. You get a miscellaneous objective for entering the vertibird allowing you to then exit. Fast travel to a new area and throw another grenade rinsing and repeating. For additional smoke grenades see Proctor Teagan on The Prydwen.

  Scavver

  Gather 1000 Resources Used For Crafting

  Resources used for crafting are what most see as common junk. If you continuously pick things up and put them in your workshops throughout your settlements hitting 1,000 total will not be a hard task. To make it even easier, you do not have to even put the junk in your workshop as the counter increases each time you come into possession of any junk.

• 

  What's Yours Is Mine

  30

  Pick 50 Locks

  (3)

  This achievement will come naturally over the course of your playthrough. Lockpicking in Fallout 4 will be simple to those who are accustomed with its mechanics from previous games in the series and even The Elder Scrolls series. In order to pick a lock though, you need bobby pins. They can be found throughout the wasteland or purchased at various vendors.

  Locks will locked (unintentional pun) at the following levels: Novice, Advanced, Expert, and Master. When you begin the game, you will always be able to pick Novice locks provided you have bobby pins. In order to crack higher level locks, you will need a Perception level of at least 4 in order to invest in Tiers 1, 2, and 3 of the "Locksmith" skill.

  Once you begin to lockpick, a close-up of the lock will show on-screen where you insert a screwdriver and bobby pin into the hole. From here, you'll need to move the bobby pin left or right while trying to find the "sweet spot," or the position which will allow you to turn the lock open. You need to fiddle with screwdriver and bobby pin simultaneously in order to find that sweet spot. Don't move the tools too quickly though, or the bobby pin will snap and you'll be down one. Generally, practice makes perfect on this mechanic, so don't fret if you're having trouble cracking some safes and doors. Novice locks will provide good practice before you move onto the harder ones.

  As mentioned, this should come naturally so long as you invest is those skills detailed above and pick every locked door, chest, or safe you see throughout the wastelands.

• 

  RobCo's Worst Nightmare

  30

  Hack 50 Terminals

  (3)

  This achievement will come naturally over the course of your playthrough. Throughout the Commonwealth wastelands, you will often find locked terminals inside buildings that are worth checking out for holotapes, backstory, access to nearby stashed loot, and more.

  Terminals are locked at the following levels: Novice, Advanced, Expert, and Master. When you begin the game, you will always be able to hack into Novice terminals. In order to crack higher level consoles, you will need an Intelligence level of at least 4 in order to invest in Tiers 1, 2, and 3 of the "Hacker" skill.

  Once you gain access to the terminal, you will be presented with a list of words, all the same character length depending on the level of the terminal you're hacking; the higher the level, the longer the words. One of these words is the password and in order to find it out, you'll need to first choose any word in either column. If you guessed correctly, the terminal will unlock. If you didn't, the terminal will display "X/Y Correct" where "X" is the number of correct letters for the password if it's in the right spot, and "Y" is the length of the word. For example, if you chose FALL but the password is BALD, you'll see the terminal indicate "2/4 Correct," where "A" and "L" are correct, and in the right position.

  Regardless of the terminal's level, you'll only have four attempts at finding the password. However, if you have Tier 4 of the "Hacker" skill, you'll have unlimited attempts. If you don't have the perk, simply back out of the console on your 4th attempt and re-enter the terminal. This will give you another four tries but also reset the password! Overall, this should come naturally so long as you invest is those skills mentioned above and hack every locked terminal you see.

  Armed and Dangerous

  30

  Create 50 Weapon Mods

  One of the easiest ways to tackle this is to go to a weapon workbench with a baseball bat in your inventory. Now simply go through and create each modification for the baseball bat (different colors and items tacked on to bat). After you have created each mod (approximately 9) simply put the mods in your workbench and remake them.

  The mods only cost wood, a commodity that is easy to come by making this method cost effective and extremely quick.

• 

  Wasteland D.I.Y.

  30

  Craft 100 Items

  (2)

  Here we are talking things like food and chems. If you collect meat from creatures you kill over the course of playing through, you should amass a healthy collection that you can then take to a cooking station.

  One of the easiest items to make tons of is jet. You simply need fertilizer and plastic (200 fertilizer and 100 plastic for 100 rounds of jet).

  Never Go It Alone

  20

  Recruit 5 Separate Companions

  (2)

  In total, there are 13 companions in the Commonwealth that you can recruit during your playthrough. None of them are missable as recruitable NPCs cannot die. For this achievement, you only need to recruit 5 different companions; you don't have to do their special companion quest. A full list of companions can be found HERE. Breaking it down with character and location:

  • Cait - Combat Zone
  • Codsworth - Sanctuary Hills
  • Curie - Vault 81
  • Danse - Camridge Police Station
  • Dogmeat - Red Rocket Gas Station
  • Deacon - Old North Church
  • Hanco*ck - Goodneighbor
  • MacCready - Goodneighbor
  • Valentine - Vault 114
  • Piper - Diamond City
  • Preston Garvey - Museum of Freedom and then Sanctuary
  • Strong - Trinity Tower
  • X6-88 - The Institute

• 

  Lovable

  20

  Reach Maximum Relationship Level with a Companion

  (7)

  Dogmeat cannot be used for this achievement.

  In order to reach the maximum relationship level with a companion you need to complete quests with the person, perform actions they like (Piper for instance likes me picking into things), and avoid doing things your particular companion does not like (Piper for instance does not like me persuading people).

  For a full breakdown of likes/dislikes, check the Fallout 4 Wiki.

  Fix-Er-Upper

  Build 100 Workshop Items

  "Workshop Items" are things you create for your settlements. You can either rush this achievement by building lots of small wooden crates, or you can allow it to come naturally as you work on your settlements throughout the game.

  Play a Holotape Game

  (7)

  Holotape games can be played through the various Recreation Terminals found within buildings and Vaults around the open world. This achievement can be earned early on during your playthrough when visiting Vault 111. There is a Recreation Terminal inside the kitchen on the lower floor. When you access the Terminal, select the "[Play Tape]" option. This will launch the "RED MENACE" game and unlock the achievement. There are several Recreation Terminals in the game, so don’t think this is the only place to indulge in some mini-game madness!

  …The Harder They Fall

  Prankster's Return

  10

  Placed A Grenade Or Mine While Pickpocketing

  (11)

  Before you can attempt this achievement, you will need to invest in the second rank of the Pickpocket perk in the Perception skill tree. This perk will allow you to place a live grenade or mine inside a stranger’s inventory, increasing your success rate by 50%. If you have yet to loot any explosives in the open world during your playthrough, you can always buy grenades from the merchants in Diamond City Market.

  Once you have a grenade and the required perk, sneak up on a stranger from behind and make a manual save. Now try to pickpocket them. Once their inventory menu has opened, place your grenade in their inventory and back away quickly. Within seconds, the NPC will blow up and the achievement will unlock. If you were spotted while attempting this prank, simply reload your save file and try again.

Starting at the “home base plate” near the entrance of town, you need to make sure way around the market counterclockwise, stepping over first base, second base, and third base in the process.

  The Final Shape Exotic Weapons and Armor - Destiny 2 Guide - IGN

  This achievement is obtained for allowing a Super Mutant Suicider to kill you once during your playthrough. The Suiciders can be recognized easily due to their bomb jacket’s blinking red light. They will also storm across the landscapes and run straight at you, so you should no worries differentiating these enemies from other wastelands hostiles. Suiciders will spawn in a variety of locations around the open world environment, so you may end up unlocking this without preparing much at all. Travel to the train wreck between Somerville Place and Hyde Park to find a Suicider.

  You can also be killed by a Fat Man (nuke launcher) to unlock the achievement.

  Collect 20 Vault-Tec Bobbleheads

  (16)

  In Fallout 4, there are a total of 20 bobbleheads that must be collected for this achievement. Like the bobbleheads in past games, these collectibles are unique in that they unlock special perks for your character and also help increase your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats.

  Luckily, none of them are missable this time around, meaning you can tackle the hunt for these bobbleheads at any time during your playthrough. Despite them not being missable, some will require that you complete specific quests in order to gain access to their locations around the open world. If you want to keep track of which collectibles you’ve already found when mopping these up, you can refer to your Pip-Boy’s “Misc.” tab.

  Reach Level 50

  (1)

  Reaching level 50 is a test of patience and thoroughness. You will earn XP for just about any action you perform in the game. That includes completing quests, killing wasteland hostiles, discovering new locations, picking locks and hacking terminals, crafting settlement items, tweaking gear and weapon mods, cooking recipes, and even passing speech checks in dialogue.

  All in all, XP will be rolling your way over the course of your playthrough, and so long as you are persistent with your exploration and questing, reaching level 50 won't be a problem at all. In the event you want a little boost throughout your playthrough though, you can invest in the "Idiot Savant" perk (level 5 perk) under the Luck skill tree. This perk will randomly grant you small amounts of bonus XP for any action you perform; the lower your Intelligence skill, the greater the chance of XP. It may not seem like much, but it all adds up.

  If you are having trouble leveling there are a plethora of repeating quests that you can do ad nauseam to gain massive levels.

  Unlock 10 Robot Mods

  (3)

  Nearly every robot enemy you encounter throughout this DLC will have robot components – or “mods” – on them. As such, be sure to loot every fallen robot after you’ve killed them. When collected, these mods will unlock and appear under the “Mods” sub-section of the “Inventory” tab of the Pip-Boy.

  You should have no issue unlocking this achievement naturally over the course of the DLC so long as you actively loot robot hostiles.

  Build 10 Robot Mods

  (3)

  Once you have built the Robot Workshop at any of your settlements during the “A New Threat” quest, you can then use it to build robot companions and deck them out with various mods (similar to Power Armor). When using the workshop, just select “New Automatron.” From there you can begin building their various components—head, torso, arms, and legs.

  While you do start off with a few mods from the get-go, you’ll have to collect more off fallen robots to unlock further customization and modification options. Additionally, you will need junk items to build these modifications, just as if you were building Power Armor mods. Lastly, you will need specific ranks of the Science! And Robot Expert perks to build the higher end mods.

  This achievement can be unlocked as early “A New Threat” when upgrading Ada. All you need to do is change her color a total of ten times (robot paint does not require any material/junk).

  Have 5 Tamed Creatures in a Settlement

  (12)

  After building one of any cage in a settlement, you will be given a prompt on how to capture wasteland animals via cages and how they can be tamed. Cages will only capture animals when they are properly powered via a generator. Once a cage is up and running, it will then have the chance to catch its specified creature when you're sleeping or away from your settlement for a prolonged period of time.

  To start, head to a completely empty settlement (make sure there are no settlers and no defenses) and build a cage that would house a wild, dangerous animal such as a Mutant Hound, Insect, Mirelurk, Deathclaw, or Radscorpion. Now build a Beta Wave Emitter (please see the note below) next to the Cage and power both items with a generator. Take note doing this in an empty settlement isn't required, but it makes the process much easier/faster.

  Next, build a bed right in front of the cage and sleep for 24 hours. When you awake, the cage will either be opened and closed. If opened, rest again for a full day. If closed, an animal has been captured so enter Workshop Mode and store the cable that runs from the generator to the cage in order to open the cage. The Emitter will automatically tame the captive, so don't worry about being defenseless. Now reattach a new cable from the generator to the cage, repair the cage (tap "A" on the cage in Workshop Mode) with the required materials, and rest again for 24 hours. Repeat this process until you have five tamed animals in this settlement.

  NOTE: In order to build the Beta Wave Emitter, you will need Level 1 of the Animal Friend and Wasteland Whisperer perks in the Charisma skill tree. Thus, in order to get this achievement your Charisma skill must be at Level 9 (or higher).

  Start a Spectated Arena Fight in a Settlement

  (6)

  This is easily done in any populated settlement of your choosing. First, enter Workshop Mode and construct a "Quitting Time Siren" anywhere where there is clear space. This item is found under CAGES > MISCELLANEOUS. Power it with a generator and then construct both a Blue and Red Team Contestant Platform nearby. These items are found under CAGES > ARENA. From there, assign a settler to each new platform. As soon as the second settler is assigned, the two will become hostile towards each other and begin fighting!

  When this happens, exit Workshop Mode and quickly activate the Quitting Time Siren right away. It will blare its alarm and the achievement should unlock within a few seconds.

  Build One of Every Cage Type

  (8)

  In the Workshop menu of any settlement, you will now find a "Cages" category on the far right. There are multiple variants of cages you can build: Small (4), Medium (5), and Large (6). As with any settlement item, you will need a decent amount of crafting materials in order to build all 15 cages.

  Mostly every cage requires Copper, Gears, and Steel (please see below), although each will also require a unique animal/creature meat or other miscellaneous item to construct. So long as you have the room in your settlement to build each cage, you should start tracking down all the materials you need.

  If you're in desperate need for some of the animal meat needed for the cages, you can always visit Choice Chops (Polly the Butcher) in Diamond City Market. She will have some of animal meats you'll need, specifically those for Brahmin, Mole Rat, Mongrel Dog, Radroach, Radstag, and Stingwing (and Mirelurk Eggs, too...though her inventory changes every visit). Just buy the items you need, wait two days on the nearby wooden bench, then visit her again, repeatedly, until you have your meats. For the rest of the items, you'll need to do some open world hunting!

  Check out THIS POST for a quick summary on where to find some basic building materials such as copper, gears, and nuclear material. Additionally, refer below for a shorthand checklist of the "unique" items you'll need for each cage.

  Small Cages

  • Cat Cage - Softshell Mirelurk Meat x2
  • Dog Cage - Canned Dog Food x3
  • Mole Rat Cage - Radroach Meat x4
  • Mutant Hound Cage - Brahmin Meat x2

  Medium Cages

  • Feral Ghoul Cage - Mongrel Dog Meat x4
  • Gunner Cage - Bottlecap x500
  • Insect Cage - Mole Rat Meat x4
  • Raider Cage - Jet x6
  • Super Mutant Cage - Brahmin Meat x5

  Large Cages

  • Brahmin Cage - Razorgrain x4
  • Deathclaw Cage - Yao Guai Meat x4
  • Mirelurk Cage - Mirelurk Egg x4
  • Radscorpion Cage - Stingwing Meat x4
  • Radstag Cage - Carrot x4
  • Yao Guai Cage - Radstag Meat x4

  Although Polly's inventory will reset after waiting for 48 hours, she doesn't carry a large supply of the meats/items you'll need...so it will take a while to gather everything. She also doesn't sell certain items. For those supplies she doesn't carry, please see below for additional notes on where they can be found in the Commonwealth.

  Softshell Mirelurk Meat

  • Looted off Softshell and Hunter Mirelurks along the coastline of Salem (NE on the map)

  Canned Dog Food

  • Six cans can be found on the highway southeast of Jamaica Plain, which also hosts the armored dog named Alissa
  • Three cans can be found in Proctor Quinlan's quarters on The Prydwen (on a bookshelf)

  Razorgrain

  • There is a medium-size razorgrain field behind University Point's main building (SE on the map)

  Yao Guai Meat

  • Four dead Yao Guai can be found in a ravine/ditch due north of Coastal Cottage (NE on the map)

  Far From Home

  20

  Complete the quest "Far From Home"

  Story-related, cannot be missed.

  This quest sees you traveling to the Nakano Residence in the northeast of the Commonwealth and speaking with Kenji and his wife about their missing daughter. After speaking with them both, investigate the boathouse to find Kasumi's whereabouts and then speak with the parents once you have your intel. You're now free to hop on Kenji's boat and head out to Far Harbor to complete the quest.

  NOTE: This quest will only be added to your journal after "Getting a Clue" from the base game's questline has been completed.

• 

  Where You Belong

  20

  Complete the quest "Where You Belong"

  (1)

  Story-related, cannot be missed.

  This quest will begin after you reach Acadia with Longfellow. It's rather short and simply involves speaking with DiMA, then heading downstairs to confront Kasumi, and then heading back up for another conversation with DiMA. Be sure to explore the entirety for Acadia, though. There are countless items worth picking up (like an issue of "The Islander's Almanac") and multiple characters to speak to if you're looking for extra side quests.

• 

  The Way Life Should Be

  20

  Complete the quest "The Way Life Should Be"

  (5)

  This achievement is missable!

  After the five memory hacking sequences during the "Best Left Forgotten" quest, follow the new objective that leads you to the secret medical facility in the Vim! Pop Factory. Afterwards, return to DiMA in Acadia and confront him with the truth you've uncovered from the facility.

  You'll be presented with multiple options on how to deal with this situation: tell Far Harbor, ask DiMA to turn himself in, or keep DiMA's secret. All three paths lead to different outcomes for the end-game narrative, but they all eventually lead to the quest's completion, thus unlocking the achievement.

  NOTE: This achievement is missable if you decide to fully complete the "Cleansing The Land" quest, which is triggered by recovering the Kill Switch Code or Nuclear Launch Key, prior to speaking with DiMA in Acadia.

• 

  Cleansing The Land

  20

  Complete the quest "Cleansing the Land"

  (3)

  This achievement is missable!

  This quest will be triggered upon entering the Grand Harbor Hotel OR traveling to far off island west of the mainland for their respective side objectives during the "Best Left Forgotten" quest.

  If you decide to travel to the hotel, follow the waypoint towards the safe room upstairs and listen to the tape on the terminal. Afterwards, head out to Fringe Cove Docks to recover the launch key and then decide which path you'll take: Destroying the Nucleus or informing the High Confessor.

  NOTE: In order to get this achievement, you must choose to destroy the Nucleus without speaking to High Confessor! If you decide to inform High Confessor about the launch key and then hand over the key, the quest will fail and you will miss the achievement.

  If you decide to do the other objective instead, travel to the isolated island in the west and recover the kill switch code. Now head inside the Wind Farm Maintenance Shed next to Acadia and follow the objective markers to repair the fuse box. Once seen through, deal with the hostiles beyond the security gate as you make your way to Turbine 003 to active the kill switch. Return to the High Confessor after flipping the switch to turn in the quest.

  NOTE: Taking this path during the quest will ensure the destruction of Far Harbor...but it does indeed unlock the achievement.

• 

  Close To Home

  50

  Complete the quest "Close to Home"

  Story-related, cannot be missed.

  After dealing with the DiMA situation at the end of "The Way Life Should Be," you'll be tasked with returning to the Nakano Residence in the Commonwealth and relaying the outcome of the island's events to Kenji. A short task, but once he is filled in, the case will close and the achievement will unlock.

  The Islander's Almanac

  10

  Collect all issues of "The Islander's Almanac" magazine

  (15)

  Magazines are back in Far Harbor, though this time there are only five issues to collect. Luckily, none of them are missable. Two of them can be found in locations you come by naturally during the main quest while the rest are off the beaten path.

  Please see below for a checklist on the locations of all five magazines.

  Far Harbor: Inside The Last Plank, it can be found on the table next to Longfellow.

  Acadia: Inside Acadia, it's sitting on top of the counter on the floor underneath DiMA's control center.

  Brooke's Head Lighthouse: At the very top of the lighthouse, it can be found on a small wooden table.

  National Park Vistor's Center: From the front entrance, it's sitting on a counter in the room your the right.

  Northwood Ridge Quarry: Inside the hideout near the beds/steamer trunk, it's sitting on top of a small table.

  Once all five magazines have been collected, the achievement will be yours. Feel free to refer to the video guide below if further assistance is needed. Thanks, PowerPyx!

  Defeat 30 Far Harbor Sea Creatures

  (4)

  Far Harbor is home to an entirely new ecosystem. Some of the new creatures you'll stumble across during your missing persons case and side quests include Gulpers, Anglers, and massive Fog Crawlers. These creatures aren't all that common when traveling inland, but so long as you explore the coasts and stick to the waters and swamps, you should have this done in no time.

  Discover 20 Far Harbor Locations

  In Far Harbor, there are a little over forty locations worth uncovering, each unique in their own right. You only have to discover half that amount for this achievement so this will unlock naturally as you progress through the narrative and work on smaller side quests here and there for the different factions and townsfolk of Far Harbor.

• 

  Push Back The Fog

  10

  Unlock 3 Far Harbor Workshop Locations

  This achievement is missable!

  There are a total of four workshop locations in Far Harbor but this achievement only requires you to unlock three of them. In order to actually unlock them, you will need to complete specific side quests tied to that location. Please see below for a breakdown.

  Longfellow's Cabin: After traveling to Acadia with Longfellow during the "Walk in the Park" quest, this location will unlock.

  Dalton's Farm: On the pier in Far Harbor, speak with Cassie and complete her "Blood Tide" quest to gain access to this location.

  National Park Visitor's Center: After completing "Rite of Passage" from Terry, which is triggered after helping Cassie (or Avery or the Mariner), speak with Mitch inside The Last Plank. Completing his quest, "The Hold Out," will unlock this settlement.

  Echo Lumber Lake: After completing "Rite of Passage" from Terry, which is triggered after helping Cassie (or Avery or the Mariner), you will gain access to "Turn Back the Fog" from Small Bertha. During this quest, you must refuse Malcolm's request to keep the land yourself in order to gain access to the settlement.

  NOTE: This achievement is missable if you do not complete the associated side quests for each settlement before destroying Far Harbor, assuming that's the path you take during "Cleansing the Land."

There is one station in Far Harbor and another at Longfellow's Cabin just northwest of the pier.

  Show Off

  20

  Display a weapon on a weapon rack, armor on an armor rack, and power armor in a power armor display.

  (6)

  All three of these display cases/stands can be found in the Workshop Mode menu under "Decorations > Display."

  For the weapon rack, choose any of the several weapon displays available (make sure you have a weapon for the display you're building) and build it anywhere there is space in your settlement. Now you can interact with the weapon rack and display the appropriate weapon on it. Next, construct an armor stand and once built, interact with the mannequin in order to transfer a few armor pieces onto it. Make sure to "equip" the armor pieces so they actually appear on the mannequin.

  Finally, build a Power Armor display. This item requires a few more crafting components than the previous two displays: 6 Gear, 4 Oil, 4 Screw, 4 Plastic, 12 Aluminum, 6 Fiberglass and 3 Circuitry. Once built, enter a Power Armor suit and stand on the display's circular base pad. Now exit the suit and interact with the display case to properly "line it up." Once all three of these items are displayed, the achievement will unlock.

• 

  Time Out

  10

  Assign a settler to a pillory

  (7)

  This item can found in the Workshop Mode menu under "Resources > Miscellaneous." You only need four pieces of wood and one piece concrete to build it. Once it has been constructed, simply assign any one of your settlers to the pillory and the achievement will unlock once you get the "this resource is now assigned" notification on the screen.

• 

  Mass Production

  20

  Produce 100 objects from your builders

  (4)

  Each of the different manufacturing machines can be found in the Workshop Mode menu under "Power > Manufacturing > Machinery." For this achievement, you'll want to focus on using the "Builder." Each of these machines require 2 Circuitry, 3 Gear, 4 Rubber and 10 Steel to build.

  To expedite this achievement, it's best to build at least four of these machines next to each other. They will each require eight power to operate, so build however many generators necessary to have all four machines up and running. Once they're powered, you will need to interact with each Builder and transfer over a good amount of "junk items" into each. These junk items are what will automatically produce newly crafted items.

  After you've loaded up each of the Builders with junk, simply sit back and wait for ten to fifteen minutes until the achievement unlocks. The more Builders you have loaded up with junk, the quicker this will unlock.

You can now kill Overseer Barstow at any time in order to unlock this achievement. Feel free, as it's encouraged, to reload your save so you can carry on with the questline.

  Alternatively, this will also unlock after completing the last experiment in "Lady Luck" and allowing Barstow to pass the mantle of Vault 88 Overseer onto the Sole Survivor.

  Better Living Underground

  15

  Unlock all Vault 88 build areas

  (4)

  So long as you are a Level 20 or higher, the DLC's first quest, "Vault-Tec Calling," will be added to your journal. After completing this short quest and the subsequent, "Better Living Underground," you will meet Overseer Barstow.

  Speaking with her the first time will trigger the "A Model Citizen" quest, during which you will need to build an Overseer's Desk (which is found under the "Special" tab of the workshop menu) and activate the Vault's Radio Beacon. This will then trigger "Explore Vault 88." During this quest you will need clear out rubble that's blocking the entryways to each Sector - North, North-East, and East - and find their workshop stations.

  Your compass will guide you in finding each Sector's workshop station, however when you try to interact with one, you'll be tasked with finding a nearby control board in order to power it up. The control boards are marked on your compass. Once all three workshop stations are powered up and available to use, this achievement will unlock.

  After completing "Explore Vault 88," you should continue working on "A Model Citizen." During this quest you will conduct three interviews with Overseer Barstow for potential Vault residents. Once the final interview is done, grab the Vault 88 Jumpsuit on the nearby trunk and check inside said trunk for additional suits and Pip-Boys.

  You can now speak with your new resident, Clem, and ask to trade items. Here, you can give him a Pip-Boy (found under your Misc. tab) and a Vault 88 Jumpsuit (found in the Apparel tab). Make sure to actually equip the Jumpsuit and the achievement will unlock.

  Complete 12 quests for any Nuka-World Raider Gangs

  (4)

  During the "An Ambitious Plan" story quest, Gage will ask that you make your rounds across the park and speak to each of the Raider Gangs: The Disciples, The Operators, and The Pack. When speaking with each of the faction leaders for this quest's objective, you can choose to inquire about side work. These side jobs are the quests you must complete for this achievement.

  Each of the gang's quests usually involve killing a target, kidnapping a target, or protecting a group of Raiders from an attack. All of these side quests take place in the Commonwealth, so it's best to accept one job from each leader before heading out. This will limit you to four visits to mainland, thus speeding up the achievement a considerable amount. After completing any twelve of these side quests, the achievement will unlock.

  NOTE: As noted in the roadmap, this achievement is technically missable if you choose to complete the "Open Season" side quest, which sees you taking out each gang's leader. This quest is given by Mackenzie, the doctor in the Nuka-Town Market. Take note that killing a gang leader will aggro every raider in the park, failing all story and radiant quests.

  Collect every issue of Scav! Magazine

  (3)

  Magazines are back once more in Nuka World and there are only five issues to collect. Luckily, none of them are missable but they are usually hidden away in areas you wouldn't normally inspect unless you're keen on thorough exploration.

  Feel free to refer below for a checklist on the locations of all five magazines.

  The Galactic Zone: Facing the front doors of the Star Control building, follow the exterior walls to the left and make your way past the locked gate. Continue forward and you will find the magazine on a crate near a ruined bus.

  The Junkyard: This Junkyard can be found on the western edge of the region/map. The magazine is located upstairs on a computer desk; just take the stairs from the ground floor on the left side when entering the garage.

  Kiddie Kingdom: While exploring the Fun House, you will eventually pass through the rotating hypo-walls. When you first enter this room, walk into the tunnel on your right, then turn left. Walk straight ahead into the dead end alcove and the magazine is on the floor to your right.

  Grandchester Mystery Mansion: After finishing the guided tour, pick the master-lock leading to the attic. Upstairs, you will find the magazine on the right-hand side of the room, sitting on a wooden box.

  Dry Rock Gulch Theater: After entering the "Employee's Only" area of the Dry Rock Gulch, make your way towards the back of the compound where you'll find some red cargo containers and some wooden planks leading to the garage roof. Cross onto the adjacent building and the magazine is perched on a wooden table.

  Once all five magazines have been collected, the achievement will be yours. Feel free to refer to the video guide below if further assistance is needed. Thanks, PS4Trophies!

  In total, there are exactly twenty different flavors of Nuka-Cola. The variants can be made at any Nuka-Mix machine found within the different zones of the park (i.e. Safari Adventure, Galaxy Zone, etc.). You will automatically start with the following five flavors:

  • Newka-Cola
  • Nuka-Buzz
  • Nuka-Fancy
  • Nuka-Free
  • Nuka-Twin

  The remaining fifteen flavors must be found throughout the open world via their lootable recipe books. These books, like any collectible, are unmarked and well hidden throughout the entire park. They are blue in appearance, so keep your eyes peeled while exploring the interiors and exteriors of each zone.

  Once all of the recipes have been collected, you can head over to any Nuka-Mix machine and begin crafting the drinks. Take note that most of the materials needed to craft each drink can be purchased from Shelbie Chase in the Nuka-Town Market.

  Feel free to utilize the checklist and video guide below for help in finding the recipe books. Thanks, GamerRanx & Indecisive Prophecy!

  Hostile Takeover

  20

  Establish 8 Raider Camps in the Commonwealth

  (3)

  During the "Home Sweet Home" quest, you will work alongside a Raider named Shank in taking over your settlements in the Commonwealth and establishing Raider Camps in their place. This can be done in one of two ways: violently (attacking your settlers) or peacefully (coercing them into leaving through two speech checks).

  You will automatically establish three Raider Camps during this story quest. After turning the quest in to Shank, you can then speak with him (he'll remain at the front entrance of the park) any time after and select the "claim new territory" dialogue option. He will ask which settlement you want to overtake, check to see if it's available (essential NPCs cannot be in a settlement you want to overtake), how you'd like to go about taking the land, and which Raider Gang you want to assign to the settlement.

  All you have to do is establish five additional Raider Camps in the Commonwealth and this achievement will unlock.

  All Sugared Up

  Defeat 40 Nuka-World Creatures while under the effect of any Nuka-Mix flavor

  (20)

  Before working on this achievement, you'll want to stock up on a few Nuka-Mix flavors, preferably those which have the longest lasting effects: Nuka-Ray, Nuka-Power and Nuka-Punch. Please refer back to "Beverageer" for information on how to find and craft these variants.

  With a decent stock of the aforementioned flavors on hand, head out into the wastelands surrounding the park - or continue on with the story quests if you have not yet completed the narrative - and begin hunting down Nuka-World Creatures. Such creatures include, but are not limited to, Painted Ghouls, Rad Rats, Gatorclaws, Bloodworms, Cave Crickets, Forager Ants, Gazelles, and Brahmiluffs.

  Before engaging in combat with a Creature, just chug your Nuka-Mix drink and proceed with the killing. If you want to check if the drink's effect is still active, you can pull up your Pip Boy and enter the "STATUS" tab of the "STATS" menu.

  This achievement will unlock after killing forty Creatures while under the effects of a Nuka-Mix drink. As a recommendation, you should work on this on during the story itself, especially during "The Grand Tour," as farming Creatures post-narrative takes significantly longer and is much more tedious of a process.

  Eyes on the Prize

  20

  Redeem 100,000 tickets at the Nuka-Cade

  (20)

  The Nuka-Cade can be found within Nuka-Town, just before exiting the gates that lead to Fizzy Mountain. In order to partake in the arcade games you will first need to obtain Nuka-Tokens. These can be found throughout the park, purchased from the arcade owner, or acquired by trading in Pre-War money to the token dispenser machines.

  There are several games within the arcade but for this achievement you'll want to focus on Bandit Roundup. Disregard the pistol they supply you with; any weapon with the explosive mod will suit you far better as it ensures you do not have to manually aim and shoot each moving target. For example, the Spray n' Pray machine gun that can be purchased from Cricket, a traveling merchant in the Commonwealth, is one of the best weapons to use during this mini-game. Whichever weapon you do choose to work with, just make sure you have plenty of ammo on hand. Should you ever run out, Shelbie and Aaron inside the Nuka-Town Market sell plenty of ammo.

  Enter a token into the arcade machine and let it rip. The goal of the game is to shoot as many moving targets as possible within seventy to eighty seconds. The amount of tickets you earn is slightly correlated to your score (i.e. a score of 8,500 will yield around 800-875 tickets). Given the steep ask of this achievement, you will need to play Bandit Roundup upwards to 100+ times in order to amass 100,000 tickets.

  Alternatively, thanks to The Pants Party, there is a cheap and more effective method to earn tickets by playing the Hoop Shot mini-game. Please refer to THIS POST for more information and a visual demonstration.

  You'll also notice that throughout the park are ticket rolls, much like those found inside the RobCo Battlezone's reception office or the projection booth of the Kiddie Kingdom Theater. These ticket rolls will help, but don't rely on them; there aren't many and they only have 800-1000 tickets, which is as much as one game of Bandit Roundup or Hoop Shot.

  Once you have the required amount of tickets, return to the main lobby of the arcade and interact with the ticket terminal. Select "Redeem Tickets" and the achievement will unlock shortly after.
