Find the Fallout Water Chip in Necropolis. Learn about the 400-day mutant threat limit and buying water for $2000.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Accept the quest to get a special item from The Glow.
  2. 2
    Instead of going to The Glow, travel to Necropolis first.
  3. 3
    Retrieve the Water Chip from Necropolis.
  4. 4
    Optionally, return the Water Chip to Vault 13.
  5. 5
    Proceed to The Glow.
  6. 6
    Return to the Brotherhood.

Alternative (if pressed for time):

  • You can buy one hundred days' worth of water sent to Vault 13 for $2000 from the water merchants.
  • This action grants experience but allows mutants to locate Vault 13 faster.
  • If you take this option, you will only have 400 days to destroy the mutant threats, as opposed to 500 days if you obtain the chip.

Note: The 1.1 patch may remove both time limits, and the 500-day limit will be removed with the patch.

Tips
  • Wearing combat armor is required to get the Water Chip.
  • Buying water from merchants is a costly shortcut that accelerates the game's main threat.
