With Nuka-World installed, should the Sole Survivor become the overboss of Nuka-World by completing Taken for a Ride before finishing this quest, the next time Preston Garvey is spoken to he will be upset about what the Sole Survivor did in helping the Nuka-World raiders and say he feels like that it would be too much of a risk to trust them.Completing this quest unlocks the Minutemen paint for power armor.Although the XP and caps are only given if one completes the quest, the flare gun is given and the rank of general offered even if it's failed, and the Minutemen questline continues as normal.Killing both the settlers at the settlement will fail the quest.Abernathy Farm is technically closer, but doesn't qualify because it has a unique recruitment quest. As a result, the Sole Survivor will usually be sent to Tenpines Bluff or Oberland station, unless both have been unlocked. The settlement is chosen based on proximity to Sanctuary.Since Preston is always at Sanctuary until the dialogue is completed (at which point he becomes a companion and can be relocated), all other available companions can be dismissed to Sanctuary to witness the dialogue, allowing multiple companions to have their affinities raised or lowered at once. Refuse to become General after completing the quest After recruiting at least four settlements, Preston will offer Taking Independence, initiating the next phase of the questline.Īgree to become General after completing the quest In order to continue the Minutemen questline, the Sole Survivor must agree to become the General and continue recruiting settlements. In either case, Preston will begin offering Minutemen radiant quests to the Sole Survivor in order to recruit more settlements. If they refuse, Preston remains in Sanctuary the Sole Survivor can return at any time to accept his offer. If the Sole Survivor accepts the offer, Preston becomes available as a companion.

He expresses his hope for the future before offering the Sole Survivor the position of General of the Minutemen. As the quest completes, Preston tells the Sole Survivor more about the fall of the Minutemen. He will congratulate the Sole Survivor on their success before presenting the rest of the reward: a flare gun and several flares that can be used to summon a team of Minutemen to the Sole Survivor's location. To complete the quest the Sole Survivor must return to Sanctuary and talk to Preston Garvey. With the threat neutralized, the Sole Survivor can talk to the settler from before to receive thanks and a reward of ~100 caps, as well as ownership of the settlement (and thus access to its workshop). Unmarked enemies do not need to be killed to complete the quest. To complete the objective, the Sole Survivor must travel to the raider hideout and eliminate the marked raider. The settler will point the Sole Survivor to the raider hideout and ask that they are eliminated for the safety of the settlement. To proceed with the quest the Sole Survivor must travel to the settlement and talk to their leader, who will give the details: a large group of raiders has been harassing the settlement and causing trouble. Preston will ask the Sole Survivor to travel to the settlement and help them out, hoping that the settlers will choose to support the Minutemen in return. After the Sole Survivor agrees, Preston will tell them about a nearby settlement that has been having trouble with raiders. Upon returning to Sanctuary Hills at the end of When Freedom Calls, Preston Garvey will approach the Sole Survivor and ask them to help rebuild the Minutemen.
