Next Quest: New Plots on the Block
¶ Notes
- Old Rusty is a vanilla character.
- Claudia Mansfield is voiced on her holotape only.
- If you happen to go to Vault 81 before you have received this quest, both Sim Settlement 2 Unique Characters, Cedric Mansfield and Katlin Paris are present in Vault 81.
- You can do Mansfield's quests for Old Rusty, Katlin Paris and finding the scout without having this quest active. You can also start doing the Vault 81 Radiant Quests, once you have completed Mansfield's 3 tasks. Just return to the vault when you have been sent there by the Ron to complete this quest.
- Claudia's "stash", mentioned in her holotape, has not been implemented in game.
- If you loot "Gunner Orders" from the gunners who attacked Claudia, you can hand them in to Cedric the next time you return to Vault 81.
Reported Difficulties:
- Some players encounter difficulties completing Mansfield's quests if they have completed the vanilla quest "A Hole in the Wall" (To avoid this issue, complete Mansfield's missions before completing "Hole in the Wall".)
- If you want to avoid triggering "Hole in the Wall":
a. Go to the vault early in the day. ("Hole in the Wall" can be triggered after 24 hours from entering Vault 81, so complete Mansfield's tasks before that time is up.)
b. You can clear the water problem before going to the vault.
b. Have the oil with you when you go to the vault.
c. Complete the third task right away, and return directly.
e. Avoid sending the cat home for the vanilla "Here Kitty Kitty" quest. - Claudia Mansfield:
a. Some players report having trouble finding the scout, Claudia Mansfield. She is sometimes down under the water, or under the dock (You can try console command "tcl" to look underneath the surface of things to find her.)
b. Some players report that Claudia Mansfield has no clothes. There have been multiple attempts at fixing this issue. It is unknown why some players still experience this issue.
