Fallout 76has received an influx of players following the release of the highly popularFalloutTV show. The game went from nearly abandoned to havingmore concurrent players than ever before. With players visiting the Appalachian Wasteland for the first time, they may not realize how many updates have been added since release.
The Wastelandersupdate was a major overhaulthat added many NPCs to the world. This includes recruitable allies that the player can have in their CAMP. Commander Sofia Daguerre is one of the main allies who has her own questline and can be romanced regardless of your character’s gender. Here is where you can find her in the wasteland.
Travel to the Savage Divide
You must be at leastLevel 20to find Sofia and recruit her. Head northfrom the Whitespring Refugeand the New Appalachian Central Trainyard along the railroad tracks to reach theSavage Divideregion. This area is a valley that separates the east and western sides of the map. Traveling into this area will cause aradio signaltelling you that a craft has crashed and someone needs help.
Ally: Crash Landing
The signal will point you far to the northeast intoThe Mireregion. This area has poisonous air, so bring agas mask.When you get close the quest marker should point towards the Abandoned Bunker at the base of a cliff.
Daguerre is hurt from the crash lashing and needs a Stimpack. Offer her one to progress the quest.
Help the Commander
She needs you to find the flight recorder from the downed spacecraft. Head south from the bunker to find it. Activating the recorder will start a two-minute countdown. Waves of super-mutant enemies will appear, including suiciders. You can hide and wait them out as they are not necessary to defeat.
Bring the recorder back to the Commander for another task. You must head south again to get an encryption key from Pandora. Pandora is an assaultron that will be moving on the map. Track it down and kill it to receive the key. Return to Sofia one more time and offer her astay at your CAMP.
Recruit the Commander at CAMP
Every ally has a Workshop object you must craft to hire them. Open your building menu and switch to the Allies tab. Build theU.S.S.A. Consoleand Sofia will appear. Only one ally can be active in your CAMP so you may have to scrap any other ally workshop objects. Continue her questline to learn more about her mission in space and potentially romance her.
