Quests


Completing the Wastelanders questline will reward you with Reputation, depending on your playstyle and what faction you side with.


It is recommended that you complete the quests for both the Raiders and the Settlers until you reach the quest "Siding with", to maximise your rewards and the amount of reputation that you gain.


You can lose reputation with each faction if you make inappropriate comments or SPECIAL checks. This can range from -10 to -70 reputation.

Note: Although they are called Pip-Boy Dailys, these quests will not pop up every day. They work on a rotation with one new Daily being available every 24 hours. This means it can take 3 to 5 days before the daily that you want will be available again.

Hi, I'm Kat or Duchess

​

I'm an Australian data miner who writes farming, event, and food buff guides for Fallout 76.

​

I believe that all knowledge and information should be free, which is why my guides will never be locked behind a paywall. However, running a website and photo and video editing software does not come cheaply.

​​

So, If you found my guides helpful, please consider buying me a ko-fi (coffee) using the link below.

​​

All monies go towards the tools for writing my guides and maybe for an actual cup of coffee or 3 ;)

​

Alternatively, share my guides with your fellow vault dwellers and help them to survive the wasteland.
