Attack on Workshop

Attack on Workshop is an event quest in Fallout 76.

Quick walkthrough
This quest is triggered automatically when a workshop that is currently owned by the player character is attacked by another player. Successfully defending the attack allows ownership of the workshop to be retained.

Detailed walkthrough
The quest is simple enough. When a workshop already claimed by a player is then attempted to be claimed by another player, the quest is automatically triggered, activating PvP combat between the player who already claimed the workshop, and the player attempting to claim it for themselves. As long as the original player maintains control of the workshop, turrets can help defend the workshop from the attacker, but once the workshop is rendered neutral, the turrets can be turned against the original owner.

If the defending player is killed, but doesn't have Pacifist Mode enabled, they can seek revenge against the attacker, and vice versa if the attacker is killed, but still wants the workshop.

Should the defending player fail to protect the workshop and the attacking player claims it, the quest remains active until either the original owner tries to reclaim it by paying another sum of Caps to claim the workshop again, or the attacker disconnects from the server, leaving the workshop unowned and free for the original owner to reclaim it without hassle to complete the quest alongside another Claim Workshop quest.
