Quests
Bucket List
You will need the Personal Terminal to start this quest.
Go into the Atom Shop and claim the blue Personal Terminal for free.
Build the terminal in your camp and interact with it.
Select: Automated Alerts/Suspicious Person/Download Coordinates - Suspicious Person
The quest will then pop up on the top right corner of your screen.
Follow the prompts from there to complete the quest line.
To begin the Costa Business questline, make your way to Vinny located at Big Bend Tunnel East. Before diving into Vera's story and exploring the quest involving the Camera, you'll be required to complete a few other quests first.
The first time you run this daily quest, Skippy will ask if you have a Camera in your inventory. If you reply with "I don't have a camera", then Skippy will provide you with a Broken ProSnap Deluxe camera to repair.
Dailys
Whitespring Refuge Dailys.
Fast Travel to the Whitesprings Refuge and head towards the Common Room, where Sofia and Giuseppe are. As you walk towards the Common Room, you will see a daily pop-up on the top right-hand side of your screen.
If a daily quest doesn't appear, it could be undergoing a cooldown period, or there might be an incomplete daily listed under Data/Daily in your pip-boy.
Camera Shy
No Surprises
Hotel Makeover
Imposter Syndrome
Letters to Home
These dailys require a Camera to complete them. Tell the NPC during the dialogue that you "Don't have a camera" and the NPC will gift you a Broken ProSnap Deluxe camera for you to repair at the Tinker's bench.
If you don't have a camera but have picked up an unrepaired one that's in your inventory, the NPC will comment on it:
You should see if you can repair that one in your inventory... I feel like there's gotta be a way...
OR
Pardon my prying' but someone as resourceful as yourself could refurbish that one in your inventory.

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 ;)
