Malevolent Malfunction

Malevolent Malfunction is a side quest in the Fallout 4 Creation Club content "Sentinel Control System Companion."

Walkthrough
This quest begins with a radio distress signal. Track the signal to two rogue sentinel power armor units. This can be found near Drumlin Diner, south of Concord. After reading the sentinel system log, the Sole Survivor is directed to go to the propane station. Directly south of the federal ration stockpile, there will be an unmarked propane station. After defeating Dawson Wakefield, the passcode found in his inventory can be used to hack the powered down sentinel power armor.

Dawson is a legendary enemy and carries an automatic laser gun.
