Field Testing

Field Testing is a main quest in the Fallout 76 update Steel Dawn.

Background
Following the evaluation of their aptitude by Knight Shin and Scribe Valdez, the Vault 76 dweller faces their final test: Carrying out a mission without direct supervision on orders from the commander of Fort Atlas, Paladin Rahmani.

Walkthrough

 * The quest begins automatically after completing the mission in the ATLAS Substructure. The first step is talking to the Paladin, who will now decide to test the dweller's capacity to work without direct supervision by dealing with a feral ghoul infestation in the southwestern part of the Forest. This would also help establish the Brotherhood as a beneficial presence in the area, rather than just another self-interested force.
 * The Paladin can be asked about recommendations from both Shin and Valdez, and will describe them. If the player decided to read Valdez's letter of recommendation, she will remark that they already know its contents and her assessment, while noting that the dweller will need some training on respecting other people's privacy.
 * It's also possible to use Charisma 4+ to inquire about an additional reward. Rahmani will note that initiation is its own reward, but give a single Stimpak as encouragement.
 * The precise location of the nest is unknown. She will direct the player to Lewis & Sons Farming Supply, where the Putnam family lives. The Putnams were responsible for reporting the ghoul situation in the first place.
