Weathervane

Learn how to complete Fallout 4's Weathervane radiant quests for the Railroad. Get tips on finding locations, dealing with enemies, and earning rewards from Tinker Tom.

Hey there! So, Tinker Tom over at the Railroad has a bit of a paranoid streak, and he's going to start sending you out on these things called 'Weathervane' quests. Basically, he wants you to install these MILA devices in random spots around the Commonwealth, usually somewhere high up. Think of it as a scavenger hunt with a tech twist!

You'll get these quests after you've joined the Railroad and gotten a bit further into their storyline, specifically after finishing up 'Road to Freedom,' 'Tradecraft,' and 'Boston After Dark.' Once you've done that, just chat with Tinker Tom, and he should start offering them up. He gives them out periodically, so if he doesn't have one right away, just hang out, do some other stuff, maybe advance the Railroad's main quest a bit, and check back. Sometimes traveling away and resting for a day can also prompt him to have a new one for you.

Each Weathervane quest will have a specific target location, and the game will tell you exactly where to go. For example, one might be 'Weathervane: Corvega Assembly Plant,' sending you to that notorious factory. The key thing to remember is that you always need to find an elevated spot to install the MILA device. The game will usually make it pretty clear where that spot is when you get there.

Now, about the danger: the enemies you'll face really depend on where Tom sends you. Some spots, like the Corvega Assembly Plant, might just have a few low-level Raiders. Others, especially if you're sent deep into Boston like to places such as Hub 360, you could be up against tougher, leveled enemies like Super Mutants. Technically, you don't *have* to fight anyone – your only job is to get the MILA device installed. But let's be real, these locations aren't exactly designed for silent infiltration, so be prepared for a scrap. Just focus on reaching that elevated spot and getting the device placed.

Here are some of the places Tom might send you:

• Back Street Apparel
• The Boston Bugle
• Camp Kendall
• Cambridge Construction Site
• Commonwealth Bank
• Corvega Assembly Plant
• Hub 360
• Parkview Apartments

Once you've successfully installed the MILA device, just head back to Tinker Tom. He'll be happy you did and give you a reward for your troubles. Keep doing these for him, and you'll be helping out the Railroad in no time!
