Fallout 76: Complete 'Thirst Things First' Quest

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you've wrapped up Chapter 2, and just like that, Chapter 3, 'Thirst Things First,' kicks off automatically. This one's all about making sure the water out here in Appalachia is actually safe to drink. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward, but pay attention to the steps!

Walkthrough

1
First things first, you need to Find Kesha McDermott. Just follow your quest marker on the screen – it'll lead you right to her.
2
When you arrive, you'll find Kesha McDermott's corpse by the river. It's a bit grim, but you need to loot her body. Doing so will give you two important items: the Water Testing Kit and the Survivor Story: Kesha McDermott holotape.
3
Now, grab that Water Testing Kit and collect a sample of river water. Just interact with the river using the kit.
4
Next up, you need to travel to Flatwoods' Water Pumps. Again, your quest marker should guide you there.
5
Once you're at the Water Pumps, collect another sample of water. This one's from the pumps.
6
With your samples collected, it's time to head to Kesha McDermott's Lab.
7
Inside the lab, make your way to the back and use the Diagnostic Terminal. This will analyze the water samples you collected.
8
After the analysis is complete, head outside to the Cooking Station.
9
Tip: If you find yourself short on wood for the Cooking Station, don't sweat it. You can usually find robots out and about collecting wood. Chat with them, and they'll often give you a 'free sample' of wood.
10
Now, boil your water at the Cooking Station. Make sure it's properly purified!
11
Almost done! Your final stop is the Self-Serve Kiosk.
12
Just check in using Volunteer Status at the kiosk.

And just like that, Chapter 3 is complete! You'll automatically move on to Chapter 4, 'Second Helpings.' Nice work!
