Enclave Activity: Dropped Connection is an activity in Fallout 76.

Synopsis

MODUS would like to perform a scan of Appalachia, but the cargobot drop has misaligned the communication dishes. All Enclave members are invited to assist with the scan, in return for a supply drop from the Kovac-Muldoon.

Quick walkthrough

Detailed walkthrough

MODUS requests that three triangulation points be aligned for it to scan the area before he'll have the Kovac-Muldoon Platform send down a supply drop for the player characters. The triangulation points required are random each time the quest is available as there are multiple points scattered around the quest location, so only three at any given time will be marked with quest objective markers as Triangulation Point Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. As each triangulation point is activated, the Kovac will radio in confirmation before requesting heading to the next one. Once the triangulation points are activated, the Kovac will scan the area before sending down the supply drop, asking anyone in the vicinity of where the drop will land to clear the area as it makes its descent, easily seen and heard by the glow from the re-entry friction and the roar it makes. Once it lands, other enemies will be attracted to the area due to the supply drop, which the Kovac will detect and have the supply drop locked until they have been dealt with. Once they have been dealt with, the Kovac will unlock the supply drop so the rewards inside can be collected, completing the quest, with the Kovac's final words being "Have a nice day." Note that while the orbital drop is accompanied by impressive effects, even if the player character stands directly where it will land, nothing will happen to them. It is possible to acquire an Enclave plasma gun as a reward from this quest, but mods for it will have to be acquired through other means, such as buying prefabricated mods from MODUS.

If the Officer on Deck quest is active, completing Dropped Connection will award one commendation needed to attain General rank and access the Appalachian Automated Launch System.

Notes

• Prior to The Backwoods update, this quest could only be completed by player characters who had advanced in the Enclave quest line. With the changes to the activities system in the aforementioned update, all Enclave activities were opened up to be playable by anyone.
• The Backwoods update changed the list of rewards that can appear in the final cache drop, and increased the odds of legendary enemies appearing during the activity.
