Fallout 76: Completing the Order of the Tadpole Quest

In Fallout 76, the "Order of the Tadpole" quest is a significant side mission that allows players to join the Pioneer Scouts, a faction that embodies the values of kindness, helpfulness, bravery, and growth. This quest is part of the Wild Appalachia DLC and offers a rich experience with various challenges and rewards. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to complete the Order of the Tadpole quest and become a Possum Scout.

Starting the Quest

To begin the Order of the Tadpole quest, head to the Pioneer Scout Camp, located just north of the Grafton Dam. Upon entering the camp, the quest will automatically unlock, and you'll be introduced to Scout Leader Jaggy, who will guide you through the process.

Demonstrating Pioneer Scout Values

The quest involves demonstrating four key virtues:

• Kindness: Revive an ally during an online event. Use a Stimpak to revive a teammate in a public event, which can be found in the World Activity section on the map.

• Helpfulness: Clean up the Kiddie Corner Cabins. Collect five containers of toxic mutagenic waste and dispose of them in the designated container. Speak to Scout Leader Pompy to initiate this task.

• Bravery: Control pests at Dolly Sods. Collect specific insect parts: Bloodbug Proboscis, Radroach Meat, Stingwing Barb, Tick Blood Sac, and Bloatfly Gland. These can be found in the Dolly Sods Wilderness area.

• Growth: Earn three Pioneer Scout badges. Complete various world challenges, such as taking exams or completing specific tasks like taking a picture of a Brahmin for the Mammalogist badge or crafting Antibiotics for the Medic badge.

Earning Pioneer Scout Badges

To earn badges, you'll need to complete specific tasks or exams. The exams are available at the Pioneer Scout Camp in a building marked "Pioneer Scouts Knowledge Exams." There are multiple exams, including Archer, Athlete, Codebreaker, Cook, Entomologist, Herpetologist, Hunter, Mammologist, Medic, and Swimmer. Each exam consists of five randomly selected questions from a pool of twenty.

Upon completing the "Order of the Tadpole" quest in Fallout 76, players are rewarded with 200 caps, among other valuable items and perks. These Fallout 76 caps can be used to purchase essential goods and services throughout the game, helping to enhance gameplay and survival in the post-apocalyptic world of Appalachia.

Completing the Quest and Rewards

Once you've demonstrated all four virtues and earned three badges, return to Scout Leader Jaggy to complete the quest. As a reward, you'll receive:

• 200 caps

• 800 XP

• New craftable backpacks that increase carrying capacity

• Occasional random legendary armor

Additionally, you can spend badges at the Tadpole vending machine for new items and cosmetics.

The Order of the Tadpole quest in Fallout 76 offers a unique and engaging experience that allows players to explore the game's world while embodying the values of the Pioneer Scouts. By completing this quest, players not only become Possum Scouts but also gain valuable rewards and insights into the game's lore and mechanics.
