Full walkthrough for Fallout 4's USAF Satellite Station Olivia, including how to defeat Raiders led by Ack-Ack and find the Locket for the Returning the Favor quest.
Walkthrough
- 1Locate USAF Satellite Station Olivia, east of Sanctuary and northeast of Concord. Look for the satellite dish landmark.
- 2Be aware of Bloatflies and Mole Rats outside, including explosive variants. Two Raiders may also be present; use the nearby shack with a bed to recover if needed.
- 3Enter the station and prepare for combat against approximately half a dozen Raiders led by Ack-Ack, who wields a Minigun, and an Attack Dog. Several Radroaches are also present in a room beyond a Novice-locked door.
- 4Descend stairs and disarm a Laser Tripwire to prevent a Tesla Arc trap, obtaining Fiber Optics.
- 5Enter the intel room, which contains a Guard Terminal (Advanced) and a sealed door. The door can be accessed by hacking the terminal or using a key found later.
- 6Proceed north, then take the western fork to avoid more Raiders and reach the upper part of a large machinery room.
- 7Defeat two Raiders and their Attack Dog in this room. One Raider patrols a nearby hallway.
- 8Loot a Fusion Core from a reactor in the machinery room.
- 9Go through a wide doorway to the north into a series of rooms occupied by Raiders, including Ack-Ack.
- 10Engage Ack-Ack, who is armed with a Minigun. Use cover and target her during reloads.
- 11After defeating Ack-Ack, find an Overdue Book on a counter in the east room.
- 12Proceed north past Ack-Ack's former location to find two locked doors (Novice) to the east.
- 13Search a Toolbox on the ground near these doors to find the Locket required for the quest Returning the Favor.
- 14Pick the Novice lock on the eastern doors to enter a room with Radroaches. Use an oil slick to thin their numbers.
- 15In the northeastern corner of this room, find an Instrument Case on a table. Beware of a Radroach under a nearby corpse. Inside the case is the Intel Room Key.
- 16Use the Intel Room Key to access the intel room without hacking the Guard Terminal.
- 17Inside the intel room, find a U.S. Covert Operations Manual (permanently reduces sneak detection) and a Mini Nuke on metal shelves. Also, loot a locked Safe (Novice) and a Trunk.
- 18Return to Blake Abernathy with the Locket to complete the quest Returning the Favor.
Tips
- Target explosive Mole Rats from a distance.
- The shack with a bed outside the station can be used for recovery.
- Ack-Ack is dangerous with her Minigun but is a glass cannon; use cover and aim carefully.
- The U.S. Covert Operations Manual provides a permanent stealth bonus.
- The Abernathy's Workshop can be used after completing the quest, and their house can be looted freely.
