The Over and Out quest in Fallout 76 is a pivotal mission that involves exploring the Enclave Research Facility, a vast underground complex filled with mysteries and dangers. This article will guide you through the process of navigating this facility, highlighting key encounters and objectives.

Introduction to the Facility

The Enclave Research Facility is one of the largest instanced locations in Fallout 76, introduced with the Steel Dawn DLC. It serves as a central hub for several quests, including the Over and Out mission, which is part of the Brotherhood of Steel storyline. The facility is divided into multiple levels, featuring research labs, living quarters, and communication rooms, offering a rich environment for exploration and combat.

Accessing the Facility

To enter the facility, players must first locate Transmission Station 1AT-U03, situated north of Vault 76 and south of Tyler County Fairgrounds. Upon arrival, you'll encounter a hand scanner that initially blocks access. To bypass this, follow these steps:

  1. Reset the Power: Go behind the building to find an Enclave corpse with a note that hints at a power outage. Reset the circuit breaker to restore power.

  2. Enter the Facility: Use the hand scanner to open the door and proceed to the keypad that leads to the Enclave Research Facility's lower level.

As you navigate through the Enclave Research Facility, it's essential to keep an eye out for valuable Fallout 76 items that can enhance your survival chances and combat effectiveness. These items, including weapons, armor, and consumables, are scattered throughout the facility, offering a treasure trove of resources for skilled explorers. Be prepared to scavenge every room, as even seemingly non-descript areas can hold crucial supplies. Utilizing these items effectively can make a significant difference in overcoming the dangers within the facility and achieving success in the Over and Out quest.
