Guide to exploring Goodneighbor in Fallout 4: Discover quests from Hancock, Daisy, and Whitechapel Charlie, recruit MacCready, and find unique items and locations like KL-E-0's shop and The Third Rail.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Follow Drinking Buddy to the Hotel Rexford in Goodneighbor.
  2. 2
    Meet Finn and Mayor Hancock. Hancock will welcome you to the city.
  3. 3
    Head east to KL-E-0's weapon shop. You can attempt a speech check to browse weapons or sneak to steal valuable items like a Fat Man and Mini Nuke. Hack "KLEO's Terminal" [Novice] and find a "Join the Railroad" Holotape.
  4. 4
    Visit Daisy next door. You can buy general goods and ask for work. She'll offer a quest to clear Super Mutants from the Boston Public Library. You can haggle the reward from 200 Caps up to 400 Caps. The reward for this quest is 472 XP, Caps, and an Overdue Book.
  5. 5
    Go north to the Old State House. You can steal chems and junk. Head upstairs to find Hancock and Fahrenheit. Ask Hancock for work, and he'll send you to investigate the Pickman Gallery. You can haggle his payment from 200 Caps to 400 Caps. In the attic, you can find loot in a Steamer Trunk.
  6. 6
    Find The Third Rail, a metal door past two Warehouses. Inside, in the northern-most bathroom stall, find an issue of Live & Love on top of a toilet.
  7. 7
    Continue west past Ham to reach the bar. Talk to Magnolia.
  8. 8
    Find MacCready being threatened by two Gunners, Winlock and Barnes. After they leave, talk to MacCready. He is a former Gunner and a gun for hire. You can recruit him as a companion for 250 Caps (negotiable down to 200 Caps).
  9. 9
    Consider taking MacCready as a companion to earn his trust and unlock his companion quest, “Long Road Ahead”. He likes stealing, haggling, and lockpicking. His quest involves returning to the Mass Pike Interchange to kill Winlock and Barnes.
  10. 10
    Return to the bar and talk to Whitechapel Charlie, a Mr. Handy. He offers a job to clear three locations in Goodneighbor for 200-400 Caps.
  11. 11
    Talk to Magnolia when she is not singing. You can flirt with her and pass three speech checks to take her on a date.
Tips
  • You can send Drinking Buddy to one of your settlements, but sending him to Hotel Rexford completes the quest “Trouble Brewin’” and leads you directly to Goodneighbor.
  • MacCready's companion perk, Killshot, offers significant combat benefits. Earning his loyalty is straightforward through actions he approves of.
  • The Gunners, turrets, and Assaultron at the Mass Pike Interchange may have respawned if you are returning for MacCready's quest.
  • Completing Daisy's quest: 472 XP, 200-400 Caps, Overdue Book.
  • Recruiting MacCready: Access to his companion perk Killshot and his quest “Long Road Ahead”.
  • Whitechapel Charlie's quest: 200-400 Caps.
