Taking Independence

Complete “Taking Independence”

Continue to do quests for Preston until you unlock this Minutemen quest.

Old Guns

Complete “Old Guns”

This is another Minutemen quest that you will only unlock after completing a few tasks for Preston.

Semper Invicta

Join the Brotherhood of Steel

You do this by heading to the Cambridge Police Station in the northwestern part of the map.

Blind Betrayal

Complete “Blind Betrayal”

This trophy/achievement will pop after completing this Brotherhood of Steel mission, no matter which outcome occurs.

Ad Victoriam

Complete “Ad Victoriam”

This trophy/achievement will pop after completing this Brotherhood of Steel mission. You will have to betray the Railroad so make an extra save file if you’re trying to get all achievements in one run.

Tradecraft

Join the Railroad

You will be granted the title of Railroad Agent after completing the quest Tradecraft with Deacon. You’ll unlock this quest once you complete Road to Freedom, which tasks you with locating the Railroad.

Underground Undercover

Complete “Underground Undercover”

This mission requires you to progress the Institute section of the story, which has you working with Father. You will have to betray the Brotherhood of Steel, so make an extra save file if you want to get all trophies/achievements in one run.

Rockets’ Red Glare

Complete “Rockets’ Red Glare”

This quest will unlock as you progress with the Railroad faction. You will have to betray the Brotherhood of Steel at some point, so make an extra file just in case you want to try different options.

Sanctuary

Complete “Sanctuary”

Will unlock as you progress through the main story.

Community Organizer

Ally with Three Settlements

Simply clear out and establish three settlements. This one is easy and Preston will provide you with quite a few locations at the beginning of the game.

Benevolent Leader

Reach Maximum Happiness in a Large Settlement

This one requires a bit of work. To make a settlement large, you have to send all of your companions to the same one. Sanctuary is probably best for this, since it starts with a handful of people already. To increase their happiness, make sure all their needs are met and even throw in some electricity and decorations. Check in often and you’ll have this trophy/achievement in no time.

Gun-For-Hire

Complete 10 Side Quests

Side Quests are any quests that aren’t part of the main quest line. You’ll come across a ton of these, especially if you’re doing the faction quests.

Mercenary

Complete 50 Misc. Objectives

Miscellaneous objectives are provided in a number of ways. Some can be overheard by standing near guards in any city, others are given by NPCs. They are all filed under one quest, so just complete any 50 of them.

Scavver

Gather 1000 Resources Used For Crafting

Just pick up everything and it will pop up eventually.

What’s Yours Is Mine

Pick 50 Locks

It’s just as it reads. Keep in mind that it must be you who picks the locks. Having a companion do it does not count. There are a lot more than 50 locks in the game, so you should acquire this long before you’ve completed any of the quest lines.

RobCo’s Worst Nightmare

Hack 50 Terminals

Same as the locks, except with computers.

Armed and Dangerous

Create 50 Weapon Mods

Weapon mods actually use up a lot of resources, so it’s better to acquire this one over time. Simply craft any 50 mods, something you’ll end up doing since you’ll always want the next best thing anyway. A lot of mods are locked behind specific perks and their levels, such as the Gun Nut perk and the Science Perk.

Wasteland D.I.Y.

Craft 100 Items

Craft any 100 items at a chemistry or cooking station.

Never Go It Alone

Recruit 5 Separate Companions

Each faction quest line offers a companion, and there are three that you get throughout the course of the main story. This isn’t counting some of the other individuals you can meet and recruit. Meeting them is not enough, even if you agree to let them be your companion. You must have them join you at least once for the trophy to pop. If you want all of the companions in the game (because five is just not enough), you can check out our handy guide.

Lovable

Reach Maximum Relationship Level with a Companion

It doesn’t have to be romance, they just have to really like you. Increasing your relationship level with companions is as easy as doing things they would do. For instance, Cait likes stealing things, so pick locks in front of her and she’ll grow to love you.

Fix-Er-Upper

Build 100 Workshop Items

Workshop items are built for your settlements. These can be water pumps, food sources, defenses, and generators. Build any 100 and you’ll net yourself this Trophy/Achievement.

Future Retro

Play a Holotape Game

Scattered throughout Fallout 4 are Holotapes that parody real life games player might recognize. Start any one of these and you’ll net yourself a cool Trophy/Achievement.

…The Harder They Fall

Kill Five Giant Creatures

There aren’t many Giant Creatures in Fallout 4, so this one may prove to be a bit of a challenge. Here are the locations of five Giant Creatures for you to kill.

  • Swan – Located in the park right near the Boston Commons map point.
  • Mirelurk Queen – Fought at the end of the Old Guns Minutemen Quest.
  • Behemoth – You’ll face this beast during the Semper Invicta quest from the Brotherhood of Steel.
  • Deathclaw – Fought during the When Freedom Calls Quest at the beginning of the game.
  • Another Mirelurk Queen – Fought in the basement of the Massachusetts Statehouse

Ranger Corps
