Butcher’s Bill

How to unlock: This quest becomes available once you have completed the Boston After Dark mission at the Old North Church (M6,2).

Quest objectives:

• Travel to the dead drop
• Determine the status of Augusta Safehouse
• Report back to Doctor Carrington

Travel to the dead drop

Once you report to Dr. Carrington, he will give you another mission. Head towards the Mass Fusion Building located southeast of the base. You will receive your new orders there. Be cautious of enemy shooters, as they are numerous.

Determine the status of Augusta Safehouse

Make your way to Kendall Hospital and infiltrate the building. The initial part of the hospital is filled with simple thugs, most of whom do not possess any ranged weapons. However, as you go deeper into the hospital using the elevator, the enemies get stronger.

Be especially vigilant of the double blue door. You can be attacked with a rocket launcher from the balcony on the other side. Descend and search the marked desk. You do not need to worry about the other residents, just make your way back to Dr. Carrington with the documents through the same path you took earlier.

If you choose to go down instead, be prepared to fight a deathclaw. There is also a large field with high radiation before the exit. Therefore, try to reach the exit as quickly as possible. After talking to the quest giver in the headquarters, you will complete the mission and a series of missions for the doctor.

Quest rewards: experience, 150 bottlecaps
