Fallout 76 Ultracite Armour: Locations & Mods

For those unaware of what the Ultracite Armour is, the Ultracite is easily one of the most powerful versions of power armour in Fallout 76, offering great ballistic protection. It is the armor of choice for heading into areas dense with the Scorched or facing off against Vertibots.

Follow the quest marker to the second floor, where you’ll find a button prompt to restore power. Afterward, head down to the next marker, where you’ll encounter a notice board that advances the questline.

Once you have obtained this note, you will need to follow the quest marker back up the stairs via the elevator – which you soon realise you are unable to use because of the laser gate that is blocking it.

To proceed, take the stairs instead of the elevator. Your quest marker leads to a terminal requesting a military ID, which you currently lack. Your task now is to search for clues.

Turn left, head down the corridor to the end, and enter the bedroom. Collect any journal entries on tables and bookshelves. This action updates your quest and prompts you to obtain a military ID for the next step.

When you have access to the terminal, you will be required to fill out some information – the choices you make do not effect the quest progress – so choose as you please. After that, head over to Department B and speak with the BOT to move forward.

When you have spoken to the BOT, head to the terminal just opposite and ‘boot up Department B’. Be prepared as you will need to fight off a horde of enemies after you have completed this action. Next, head to the new quest marker to obtain the junk mail and return it to the robot in order to move onto the next step.

When you have returned, the ever so helpful BOT at department B will inform you that you require some documents from the courthouse. You will then need to access the documents in the courthouse which is attached the building that you are currently in. After this, you can go back to Department B, where you will be directed to Department C.

Next, after you have completed the following quest objectives in the Capitol Building, you will then move onto the next step.

The elevators that were blocked initially are now accessible. Take the elevator and follow the quest markers until you prompt a new quest title, ‘Belly Of The Beast,’ found via one of the terminals.

Transponder Locations 

To complete this section, follow the locations marked on your map after synchronizing each transponder. There are a total of 5 locations, all teeming with enemies and scorched beasts. Make sure you’re fully equipped and prepared for combat.

Once you’ve eliminated threats at all locations and synchronized the transponders, search the remains of the Scorched beasts to acquire ‘Lieutenant Elizabeth Taggerdy’s ID’. This marks the final step. Exit the cave and return to ‘Fort Defiance’. Congratulations on your progress!
