The Big Dig

The Big Dig is a quest in Fallout 4.

Quick walkthrough
Player character receives the quest after talking to a woman named Bobbi in backstreet at Goodneighbor. She says that she's planning on breaking into Diamond City strongroom located under mayor office. At first player character needs to go down in The Dig, a tunnel starting at Bobbi's house basement and help diggers fight mirelurks. After she asks player character to meet her in Diamond City and help free another member of the heist team, Mel. Finally, the team goes into the tunnel, traveling trough old metro stations and basements filled with ghouls. Mel will frequently express his doubts about the tunnel actually leading to Diamond City, as the team is heading too far South. After they make it to a cavity underneath the strongroom and blow its floor with the help of Sonya, a modified eyebot, it is revealed that it's not Diamond City's strongroom but a secluded storage room owned by John Hancock, Goodneighbor's mayor. The room is filled with the mayors henchmen. The player character is subsequently given the choice to persuade Bobbi to leave and surrender, kill all the guards and stay with Bobbi, or betray Bobbi and kill her for the mayor instead.

Detailed walkthrough
If you persuade Bobbi to leave or betray her Fahrenheit will reward you with a legendary Minigun with incendiary bullets (+15 fire damage), Ashmaker. Additionally, John Hancock will become available as a follower. However Ashmaker can also be acquired from Fahrenheit's corpse if you choose to side with Bobbi,so this path will yield the most profit as it allows you access to the Strongroom loot as well. Even if you kill Fahrenheit and side with Bobbi, John Hancock will still be available as a follower after a dialogue at the entrance to Goodneighbor.
