Fallout 4 Random Encounters

While traveling through the many landmarks of The Commonwealth, the Sole Survivor can experience some random encounters.

Deathclaw Brawl
There is a chance that two Deathclaws will spawn and begin fighting one another until one of their health runs low and the losing Deathclaw retreats. Be careful because once the fight ends, both Deathclaws will turn hostile and attack. Also, groups of deathclaws will sometimes be found fighting a behemoth in more dangerous, southern regions of the map.

Moonshiner
The Sole Survivor will hear an explosion in a nearby shack. Inside they will find a chemistry station with several bottles of alcohol on it and a dead moonshiner. This is a possible reference to the "Exploding Scientist" random encounter in Fallout 3.

Two Faces. One Synth
The Sole Survivor can come across two men, identical in appearance and both named Art. One Art is a human and the other is an identical synth. One Art has the other on his knees and is preparing to execute him with a shotgun. Both Arts will claim to be the real one and state the other is an Institute synth sent to kill the other and take their place. If the Sole Survivor decides not to interfere, the human Art will execute the synth and walk away. A very difficult speech check can convince the kneeling Art to admit to being a synth, at which point he will encourage the sole survivor to assist him in killing the real Art. A simple speech check can convince the standing Art to lower his weapon, at which point the kneeling Art will draw a weapon and attack him. Alternatively, the sole survivor can simply attack one of the Arts. The Synth Art will have a Synth component on their body, indicating whether or not the Sole Survivor has chosen correctly. If the standoff is interrupted, the two Arts will begin shooting at each other, turning the event into a normal combat. If the Sole Survivor has the Awareness perk, the synth will have significantly higher resistances compared to Art. This encounter is a possible reference to a movie called "The Island" where a clone is held at gunpoint by the person he is a clone of and the man hunting the clone has to figure out which one is which. Oddly, this encounter is repeatable regardless of the outcome; if the Sole Survivor has previously attacked one of the Arts, that Art will be hostile in all subsequent encounters (as a result, the two Arts will immediately engage in a firefight instead of the normal dialogue).

Note: In V.A.T.S. the real Art's name will always show in green, while the Synth Art will always highlight in red.

Preston Garvey Impersonator


While wandering, the Sole Survivor may come across a smooth talking man claiming to be Preston Garvey. He will request a donation of 100 caps for the Minutemen. If the Sole Survivor tells the impostor that they know Preston, or that they are the general of the Minutemen, the impersonator will run away.

Self Admitted Synth
The Sole Survivor may happen upon a man (Fred) and a woman (Angie) holding a third man (Jules), a self-admitted synth, at gunpoint. Jules claims he ran away from the Institute and only wants to get to Bunker Hill. The Sole Survivor has four choices on how to resolve the issue. Saving him using any of the three possible medium speech checks results in him fleeing away in gratitude. This encounter does not add Bunker Hill's icon to the Pip-Boy map, but if you catch up to Jules after saving him and talk to him twice, he'll give you a variable, but small, amount of Caps.

Note: If coming upon on this encounter with Jules already dead, Fred and Angie will be hostile to the Sole Survivor.

A Girl and Her Robot


While wandering, the Sole Survivor may come across a little girl, Kat, and her Sentry Bot guardian, Gus. This encounter is possibly a reference to the Little Sisters and their protectors the Big Daddies from the BioShock series. It could also be a reference to the short novel A Boy and His Dog, which follows a boy and a telepathic dog surviving in a post-apocalyptic world or the short story titled "Robbie" which was a part of the "I,Robot" compilation written by Issac Asimov, about a girl in a technophobic society and her companion robot. It could also be a nod to Borderlands 2, as the playable character Gaige, and her robot companion "Deathtrap".

Malfunctioning Robots
The Sole Survivor can sometimes happen across a few Assaultrons spouting random nonsense. Upon noticing the Sole Survivor, they will all charge, screaming, "WHAT A PRETTY BOY". This is possibly a reference to the 1952 movie At Sword's Point, where the same line is flung at a woman dressed as a man before she is challenged to a sword duel.

Named feral ghouls
The Sole Survivor can sometimes stumble across a pack of named feral ghouls. Their names are Mr. Donoghue, Mrs. Donoghue, Mr. Sumner, Mrs. Sumner, Mr. Parker, Mrs. Parker, Rosa and Rosa's son. These are all the names of Survivor's neighbors in pre-War Sanctuary Hills. This is a repeatable encounter that can be seen many times, even if the ghouls have been killed.

The Farmer and The Vicious Dogs
Occasionally, the Sole Survivor will come across a farmer being attacked by three dogs. If the Sole Survivor kills the dogs in time to save the farmer, he will reward the Sole Survivor with 250 caps. This encounter can occur multiple times.

The Farmer and The Raiders
Like with the vicious dog encounter, the Sole Survivor can find a farmer being assaulted by up to 3 Raiders. If the Sole Survivor interferes and kills the Raiders before the farmer is killed, they will be rewarded 250 caps.

The Farmer and The Molerats
Like with the vicious dog and raider encounters, the Sole Survivor can find a farmer being assaulted by 3 or more molerats. If the Sole Survivor interferes and kills the molerats before the farmer is killed, they will be rewarded 250 caps.

Wounded Dog
The Sole Survivor can come upon an unmoving, non-hostile mongrel or Attack Dog. If spoken to, the Sole Survivor can tend to its wounds, then give it a name. It will not follow the Sole Survivor, nor can it be sent to a settlement, and it will disappear once the Sole Survivor leaves the area. It will, however, help fight any enemies that approach it. If the random encounter repeats later in the same game the dog will retain the name the Sole Survivor gave it and already be healed.

Duke
A member of the Atom Cats wearing a full suit of power armor will be scouring a wrecked car for parts. If spoken to, he will helpfully mark the Atom Cats garage on the Sole Survivor's map, then walk off.

Absalom
A hostile sniper wearing full combat armor will attack anyone he comes across, including the Sole Survivor; similar to Sam Warrick from Fallout 3.

Gene and his Dog
While traversing the wasteland, you may encounter a man named Gene. He will ask if you want to buy his dog for 250 caps, but then is hesitant. Convince him with 6+ charisma to buy the dog, then it can be sent to a settlement, granting that settlement +5 to Defense. Gene can be encountered multiple times, and a new dog can be purchased from him each time.

Kelly and her Brahmin
A woman named Kelly can be found traveling the wasteland with a Brahmin. She will offer to sell the Brahmin to you for 100 caps. It can be sent to a settlement to improve the efficiency of farming at that settlement. If asked whether the Brahmin is stolen, Kelly will become evasive, with her tone ambiguous as to whether she's feeling guilty or merely thinks it's a stupid question.

Super Mutants with Missile Launchers
A trio of super mutants all wielding missile launchers can be encountered threatening a farmer, upon seeing the Sole Survivor, the super mutants will all start wildly firing their missiles at the Sole Survivor with horrible accuracy. One of them carries the Supermutant's orders. This is possibly a reference to the Black Tri-Stars.

Advertising Eyebot
While wandering the Commonwealth, the Sole Survivor may come across an eyebot who advertises employment opportunities at the Cambridge Polymer Labs. If investigated, this opens up a quest.

UFO Crash Site


At some point, while wandering The Commonwealth, the Sole Survivor may witness a UFO fall out of the sky, and eventually plummet to the ground with a thud. Actually seeing the ship might be difficult because of how quickly it is moving, but it does leave a short lived, yet distinct, trail of smoke. The explosion is usually too distant to see but is very loud nonetheless. The ship always crashes east by southeast of Oberland Station. Next to the still burning UFO is a trail of green blood. If the Sole Survivor follows the trail of green blood, down into a ravine, and then into a nearby cave, they will be attacked by an injured alien. The alien will drop an alien blaster pistol and 400-500 alien blaster rounds.

Three Dead Raiders
"Just drop the paste, man."

While wandering the Commonwealth, the Sole Survivor may come across three dead raiders in what appears to be a failed intervention. On one is a note, in which one unnamed raider attempts to stop his/her friend Hank from eating food paste, which is making him act more and more harsh and insane. This encounter is repeatable. Upon reading the note, Suffolk County charter school is marked on the map.

A Scavenger and a Refrigerator
The Sole Survivor may encounter a scavenger attempting to open a novice locked refrigerator. If approached, they will become hostile. Inside the refrigerator is a random gun, some caps, and matching ammo.

This is possibly a reference to an identical encounter in Fallout 3.

•With the Intimidation perk it is possible to pacify the scavenger, open the refrigerator and leave, once far enough he will pick the gun from the fridge and will use it if approached again. However this seems related to the AI always picking nearby weapons, as he will not leave and act as if it's still locked, additionally any caps inside will remain there.

Mac's Bar
Occasionally the Sole Survivor may find a bar set up in random places which belong to a man named Mac. The Sole Survivor can purchase drinks and initiate a conversation with him about the bar location.

This is probably a nod to McAnally (called Mac) and MacAnally's Bar in the Dresden Files book series.

Man looking for Bunker Hill
The Sole Survivor may encounter a male synth named Timothy, who's wearing an Institute jumper and looking for Bunker Hill.

Scavenger and the Hatch
The Sole Survivor may encounter a hatch and a scavenger in the wasteland. Upon talking to the scavenger, he will state that the hatch is "his". Putting the cursor on the hatch will prompt "detonate", and doing so will result in a mini nuke-like explosion, after which you can enter the bunker to find a skeleton and some minor loot in what seems to be a collapsed fallout shelter.

Two Men Arguing About Sandwiches
The Sole Survivor may encounter two men, Mikey and Moss, debating what the definition of a sandwich is. This is a long-standing debate in epistemology. It might also be a reference to the decision of the Massachusetts Superior Court White City Shopping Ctr., LP v. PR Rests. LLC, 21 Mass. L. Rep. 565 (Mass. Super. Ct. 200), where the court ruled that a sandwich consisted of at least two slices of bread, and therefore "under this definition, this court finds that the term 'sandwich' is not commonly understood to include burritos, tacos, and quesadillas, which are typically made with a single tortilla and stuffed with a choice filling of meat, rice, and beans".

The Water Beggar
The Sole Survivor may encounter a settler kneeling by the side of the road. If talked to, she/he will claim they are tired and ask for water. If the Sole Survivor is currently carrying any Purified Water, they may offer it to the settler. They will thank them, and if talked to again, will say that they just need to rest for a bit longer before moving on. There is no option to send them to an owned settlement after giving them the water.

This is almost certainly a reference to Fallout 3's numerous water beggars, who often asked for Purified Water outside of cities and towns.

Irradiated Woman
Similar to The Water Beggar, the Sole Survivor may encounter a woman who claims to be dying from radiation, and asks for RadAway. It's even possible for this woman to be generated as a ghoul, who are supposed to be immune to radiation. If you give her some, she thanks you and says she needs to rest before continuing. There is no further option for interaction. If one returns to the location at a later date she will be smashed by a safe.

If you refuse to give RadAway to the woman and return later, she will be replaced with a dead ghoul.

Mandatory Curfew
The Sole Survivor may encounter a Mr Gutsy attempting to enforce a Mandatory Curfew created by Provisional Governor Graham. If the Sole Survivor agrees to return home but remains in the area, the Mr Gutsy will become hostile, stating that you have broken curfew. You can persuade him by claiming to be on military business, the Mr Gutsy will state you are 60% confident and let the sole survivor pass. Also by repeating the "Will you comply?" phrase enough times, you will force him to initiate a self-destruct sequence due to looping error. Or he will simply attack you.

Three Albino Radstags
The Sole Survivor may encounter three albino Radstags marching down a road, one of these locations is outside Med-Tek Research.

Blasted away safe
One can sometimes come across a locked chest (from Novice to Master) in a small crater, suggesting it was probably thrown away by a rather powerful explosion.

Vault-Tec salesman
The Sole Survivor can find a fairly unique van in quite a good shape, but empty. On its right side is a skeleton in rags and a torn note that reads:

"M. Henderson. I hate to remind you again, but you failed to meet your quota last month. We still have spots to fill in Vault 95 and you have not been pulling" rest is torn. Other side reads "...are making people uncomfortable. This is your last warning. If you don't reach your target this month, you're out. Ralph Jones." part of the signature is torn but the rest reads "... Manager, Vault-Tec".

Settler burial
Occasionally you will witness a preacher and three settlers gathered around a fourth buried settler. Upon approaching, the preacher will say a short eulogy, followed by the settlers. First (male) one mourns a good friend, second (female) one mourns the person she loved, third (male) one declares it's not fair, that he is "the asshole of the group" and should have "bitten it" in his place. Then follow a few more words from the others.

Note: None of the four NPCs can be talked to, they just answer with a short greeting.

Mine-rats
Upon exploring the Commonwealth, the Sole Survivor may run into a small pack of mole rats, one of which having a few fragmentation mines strapped to its back. As evidenced by the mines, these mole rats may have come from Kendall parking garage.

The Dead Postman
Three dead raiders and a dead settler wearing a postman uniform are found with a group of mole rats. On the settler's body are three random letters. This may be a reference to the post-apocalyptic novel The Postman, by David Brin, in which the main character acquires a postman's uniform and begins travelling the former United States posing as representative of the reformed government.

Manta Man
Manta Man is a delusional wastelander who thinks he is a comic book character.

If dressed as the Silver Shroud, he'll refer to you as such and talks similar to how the Sole Survivor could talk in-character.

Gassy Settler
An unnamed settler is found using a cooking station at this encounter. As the Sole Survivor approaches, they are warned not to come any closer. Upon further questioning the settler will announce that they are gassy from eating some bad cans of meat they got from a man named Lukowski, and will mark the location Longneck Lukowski's Cannery on the Sole Survivor's Pip-Boy.


 * Usually found on the side of a road going towards Malden Center next to Dark Hollow pond.

Vault 81 Prisoner
A Vault 81 prisoner can be encountered in the wasteland being held by 2 raiders. Freeing the prisoner will mark the location of Vault 81 on the Sole Survivor's Pip-boy.

Settlers in Trouble
One may come across 3 or 4 settlers fighting a pack of enemies (Most likely raiders). If you assist and keep them from being killed, the survivors will join you and you may send them to any settlement you choose.

Similarly you may come across a settler being held captive by Super Mutants. Kill the Super Mutants and the same occurs with the settler asking to join you.

Child of Atom and Gunners
This encounter has 3 or so Child of Atom followers fight 3 or so Gunners. The Child of Atom followers will be using Gamma guns.

The Seven Frag Mines
At these locations one will sometimes find a group of seven live fragmentation mines.

Highway Robbery
A group of 3 Raiders can be seen trying to shake down a pair of Farmers for money. After some back and forth between the two groups in which the Farmers state they have nothing of value, the Raiders will decide to just kill the Farmers and turn hostile. If the Sole Survivor kills the Raiders and saves the Farmers, the Farmers will thank the Sole Survivor. If the Sole Survivor approaches too closely while the Raiders and Farmers are talking, the Raiders will immediately turn hostile and attack.

Gunner Extortion
A trio of Gunners will approach the Sole Survivor and demand a "toll fee" of either 500, 1000, or 2000 caps. Saving just before they talk to you and reloading can result in a different start price of those three. Refusing to pay up will cause the Gunners to turn hostile and attack. The Sole Survivor can use persuasion to attempt to lower the toll fee. Starting at 2000, you can persuade them down to 1000, 500 and 400. Starting at 1000, you can persuade them down to 500, 400 and 350. Starting at 500, you can persuade them down to 400, 350 and 250. As the Gunners will follow the Sole Survivor in order to speak to them, they can be lured into an ambush with nearby monsters or other hostiles.
