¶ Walkthrough
- You have activated the Workshop.
- You have built and powered a Recruitment Radio Beacon.
- Shortly after the beacon begins broadcasting, you will notice that a Stranger has appeared in the Settlement.
- Approach him to begin. He will give you an ASAM-Sensor.
- The Stranger roleplays a settler to tell you about using the ASAM and asks you to place a residential plot.
- Place the plot, wait as the ASAM scans the area, wait for the Stranger to build, then listen to RobCo Rob.
- The Stranger asks for your help clearing out raiders in Concord so he can get to his workshop and give you more ASAMS.
- If you have already cleared the raiders there and completed the “When Freedom Calls” quest, you can talk to the Stranger in Concord Hardware later.
- Go to Concord with the Stranger.
- Clear out the raiders in the street.
- Rescue the people in the Museum by dealing with the raiders inside.
- Accept the “When Freedom Calls” quest from Preston.
- If you don't want to talk to Preston for the "When Freedom Calls" quest, you can enter and exit the building to continue.
- The Stranger will assist you in the battle outside.
- Return to Preston in the Museum to complete “When Freedom Calls” (if you accepted that quest).
- Talk to the Stranger outside and then follow him into Concord Hardware to receive a box of ASAMS.
Next Quest: Plotting the Future
¶ Notes
- Activating the Workshop will Claim the Settlement, and make you the owner and is required to begin the quest.
- If you have installed Sim Settlements 2 on a game where you already own multiple Settlements, and cannot find the Stranger, you can use the city Manager Holotape: go to Tools > Advanced > Select New Main Quest Settlement. That will let you change which settlement that the Stranger treats as your first settlement. (If you don't have one, you can spawn it with MCM, or grab one the Concord Hardware.) The Stranger should appear there soon.
- If you deny the Stranger’s request to help with the raiders, sometimes the quest will break and you will not be able to complete it.
- At the end of this quest, you will be given the City Manager 2078 Holotape which you can use to set up Sim Settlements 2 options for gameplay. The first options automatically set things up easily for difficulty by selecting whether you are a new user, returning user or want to play survival difficulty. There are also some Tutorials for you on the holotape.
