Explore Acadia in fallout 4, start The Arrival and Data Recovery quests, and find unique gear like the Recon Marine Chest Piece.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From Kasumi on the third level of Acadia, head north to a room near the storage room. Hack the Terminal [Master] inside to access another storage room containing four Ammo Boxes, a Duffle Bag, an Explosives Box, three Mini Nukes, and a Steamer Trunk.
  2. 2
    Head upstairs and trade with Cog, a general store merchant. He sells a variety of items and a legendary "Recon Marine Chest Piece" that grants the ability "Reduces damage while standing and not moving by 15%".
  3. 3
    Speak with Dejen, who sells arms, armor, and ammo. He offers a legendary Two-Shot Lever Action Rifle called "Old Reliable" and a Flamer named "Sergeant Ash" with a "20% chance to cripple the target’s leg."
  4. 4
    Find Aster, the town's doctor/mechanic, and offer to help her collect Aster plants for a small amount of Caps.
  5. 5
    On the first floor, speak with Chase. Pass a moderate speech check when she asks "How do you find them?" to learn about her operations. Offer to help her to receive the quest "The Arrival".
  6. 6
    Talk to Faraday. Pry his data banks for information, then offer to help him with his missing hardware. Pass a moderate speech check for "What happened?" to learn more. You can ask for money, increasing the amount from 200 Caps to 300, and then 400 Caps by passing easy, moderate, and hard speech checks respectively, before agreeing to start the quest "Data Recovery".

The Arrival

  1. Head to Far Harbor and speak with Brooks, the general store owner.
  2. Tell Brooks the Synth's designation number given by Chase.
  3. Head south from Acadia, past "Beaver Creek Lanes" and a Red Rocket station, towards a house marked on your map.
  4. Examine the bloodstain on the floor inside the house to find more markers.
  5. Follow the blood trail southeast to a house on the edge of a cliff.
  6. Enter the house and confront the Trappers. You can pass a moderate speech check for free XP.
  7. The Trappers will give you the "Missing Synth’s Head". Defeat the three Trappers.
  8. Return to Chase in Acadia and report what happened. She will offer a reward of 200 Caps, which can be increased to 250, 300, or 400 Caps by passing easy, moderate, and hard skill checks respectively. You will also receive a leveled rifle.
  9. While in Acadia, speak with Dejen again. He will give you the quest "Hunting the Hunter", asking you to track and kill a Courser in Far Harbor.

Hunting the Hunter

  1. The Courser is located southeast of Acadia, along a road near a Trapper outpost.
  2. Engage and defeat the Courser.
Tips
  • The "Recon Marine Chest Piece" is excellent for players who prefer a stationary combat style.
  • "Old Reliable" is a powerful Lever Action Rifle that can save you the trouble of finding one yourself.
  • "Sergeant Ash" can be very effective in disabling enemies with its leg-crippling effect.
  • Be prepared for combat when approaching the house on the cliff during "The Arrival" quest, as the Trappers are not friendly.
  • The speech checks for increasing rewards can provide significant amounts of extra Caps.
