Your friend's guide to The Outer Worlds' BOLT with His Name quest: find the BOLT-52 cartridge and wipe terminals in the ARMS building.

Alright, let's tackle the 'BOLT with His Name' quest in The Outer Worlds. This one's a pretty straightforward early-game mission on Monarch that'll get you familiar with Stellar Bay and the ARMS building.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start the Quest: You'll find Sanjar Nandi inside the MSI building in Stellar Bay. It's located near Zeng Shuren's shop, just northwest of the southeastern gate. Sanjar's got a plan to boost MSI's standing with the Board, and it starts with getting his hands on a BOLT-52 cartridge. He'll also ask you to wipe some terminals in the ARMS building while you're at it. You can try passing some [Intelligence] and [Perception] checks during the conversation, but they don't really change much.
  2. 2
    Locate the ARMS Building: The ARMS building is a short trek north of Stellar Bay. It's not too far, and you'll mostly be dealing with some of the weaker raptidons on Monarch, so it's a good quest to get your bearings on the planet.
  3. 3
    Retrieve the Cartridge and Wipe Terminals: Head into the ARMS building. Your main objective here is to grab the BOLT-52 cartridge. While you're there, make sure to find and wipe the specified terminals. This quest ties into the main quests 'Radio Free Monarch' and 'Signal Point in Space,' so you might find yourself doing this around the same time you're progressing those.
Tips
  • This quest is a solid early-game activity on Monarch, giving you a chance to explore a bit and get some experience without facing too many tough enemies.
  • Don't worry too much about the dialogue checks with Sanjar; they're there but don't significantly alter the quest's outcome.
  • Keep an eye out for any loot in the ARMS building – you never know what you might find!
