Explore the Protocol Workshop in atomfall, a bunker in Skethermoor. Find training stims, schematics, and deal with Protocol soldiers.

Location: The Protocol Workshop is located along the northwestern edge of Skethermoor. It is found southwest from the Wyndham Village exit, or east if you came from the cellar of the Grendel’s Head pub. It appears as an impressive fenced-off area with a bunker entrance protruding from the ground.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon entering the Protocol Workshop, you will find it is considered trespassing. The bunker is an actively-used base for the Protocol, with approximately a dozen Protocol soldiers present. Be aware that making too much noise can alert most of the bunker's inhabitants. The enemies are split into three groups of 3-4 individuals.
  2. 2
    From the entrance, head west into a small chamber. On the southwestern wall, you can find a Pneumatic Dispatch Tube, useful for stashing loot.
  3. 3
    Continue through the doorway to the south into a hallway with tracks. Further south are doors leading to workshop rooms where four Protocol soldiers are located. Some of these are armored and may require more than one headshot (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) to defeat.
  4. 4
    Alternatively, head north from the entrance, then turn west down a hallway. Here you will find three Protocol soldiers. These are lightly armored. One may be patrolling, and taking him out with a headshot might draw his fellows to investigate. A third soldier is down another hallway to the south.
  5. 5
    Dispatch the enemies in the northern hallway, then head west past the sealed B.A.R.D. safe room door until you reach an intersection. Turn south. Continuing west leads to a bathroom, but is not noteworthy from an enemy standpoint.
  6. 6
    Down the hallway to the south, you will find 1-3 more guards in the next room or the room beyond. Be cautious when engaging the one in the far south corner, as guards from the southern hallway might investigate.
  7. 7
    To effectively clear the bunker, head west and north from the entrance, using headshots with a bow and arrow (arrows can be found from Druids in Casterfell Woods). Work your way through the installation west, south, and back east, thinning the enemy ranks until you reach the armored soldiers in the southern workshops.
  8. 8
    If you need to escape enemies, look for green vents lining the walls just above eye level. You can crawl into these to escape, wait for the situation to cool down, and then exit via a different vent. Do not leave the bunker and re-enter, as enemy respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death) (be brought back to life at a checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) after death) rates can be high, and the entire bunker may respawn after zoning out.
Tips
  • The B.A.R.D. safe room contains about half of the bunker’s noteworthy loot. There are two ways to enter: find the keycard or climb into a duct.
  • The keycard can be found by climbing into one of several ducts. Ducts are located in the northern hallway or in the western chambers. If entering via the northern hallway, search the wall opposite (south of) the doorways leading to the B.A.R.D. safe room door to find the duct.
  • If you get into trouble, run and hide in one of the bunker’s many ducts.
