Officer on Deck

Officer on Deck is a main quest in Fallout 76. While Back to Basic can be completed immediately after exiting Vault 76, One of Us must be completed before this quest can begin.

Completion of this quest grants access to the command wing of the Whitespring bunker, which is necessary to launch nuclear weapons and start other radiant quests.

Detailed walkthrough
The player must earn 10 Promotional Commendations for this quest by completing 10 activities as outlined by MODUS from the 2 categories below:


 * Kill starred epic creatures or scorchbeasts. Starred epic creatures are most often encountered in events such as Leader of the Pack, AWOL Armaments, Uranium Fever, Monster Mash and horde events. Not all events will spawn a starred creature but the chances are much better than finding them in random encounters. Scorch beasts can be found at any fissure site and in the Surface to Air event. For easier kills, there are fissure sites near Firebase Major, Firebase LT, and Forward Station Alpha, each base having two Automated surface to air missile batteries (ASAMs). There is also a fissure site near Survey camp Alpha with one ASAM. Attacking the scorchbeast then retreating to one of the bases gives a player assistance in killing the scorchbeast. In the surface to air event and at the bases, the player must participate by actively attacking the scorchbeast. If the ASAMs kill it without the player damaging it, no commendation will be awarded.


 * Complete Enclave events. These will be offered from time to time and are radiant quests such as repositioning small satellite dishes. Hover over radiant events on the map to see if they are identified as Enclave events.
