This guide will provide a step-by-step walkthrough of the quest, ensuring you know exactly what to do to resolve the situation successfully and gain valuable rewards.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

  1. Receive the Quest

    • Start by heading to the Robotics Pioneer Park. If you haven't visited before, it is located southwest of Sanctuary Hills.
    • Speak with Ralph, who can be found near the entrance of the park. He will inform you about the issues he is facing with a malfunctioning Protectron.

  2. Learn about the Rogue Robot

    • Ralph will mention that the Protectron is attacking park visitors and that you need to find it.
    • Accept the quest from Ralph, and the objective will update to locate the rogue Protectron.

  3. Investigate the Park

    • Make your way deeper into Robotics Pioneer Park. Keep an eye out for any hostile robots as you progress.
    • Eventually, you’ll come across the rogue Protectron patrolling near the robot exhibit.

  4. Decide How to Handle the Protectron

    • At this point, you have a choice on how to deal with the Protectron:
      • Combat Approach: If you're feeling combat-ready, engage the Protectron directly. Use powerful weapons and be mindful of its laser attacks.
      • Hacking Approach: Alternatively, if you have the Hacking skill, you can bypass combat. Hack the Protectron terminal and choose a command that will disable it.

      • Attack the Protectron while dodging its laser beams. Use cover to minimize damage.
      • Once defeated, loot any useful items it was guarding.

  6. Hack the Protectron (if chosen)

    • If you chose to hack:
      • Approach the Protectron and use your terminal.
      • Solve the hacking mini-game, ensuring you select the correct passwords to gain control.
      • Once hacked, you can issue commands to either disable or reprogram the Protectron.

  7. Return to Ralph

    • After dealing with the Protectron, whether by combat or hacking, make your way back to Ralph at the park entrance.
    • He will thank you for your assistance, and you will receive your quest rewards.

  8. Claim Your Rewards

    • Ralph will provide you with caps, and you may also receive additional mechanical parts.
    • If you have successfully hacked the Protectron, you may have the opportunity to modify or keep it.
