Head to the Prydwen and speak to Proctor Teagan and ask if he has any work. He will send the Sole Survivor to a settlement in order to "persuade" them to donate food by any means necessary. This can be done by purchasing crops from the settlers, by persuading/threatening them to donate, or eliminating them, whichever way will result in the acquisition of food from the settlement. Regardless of the path taken, return to Proctor Teagan to complete the quest and collect one's reward.

Notes

  • According to Teagan's written request to Kells, he asked for permission to establish trade relations with the locals and suggested utilizing vertibirds to get better prices from traders. If asked by the player character if his op to get food from farmers is officially sanctioned, Teagan provides a vague response that suggests it isn't.
  • If the player character is already allied with a settlement where Teagan sends them to, it will still be possible to build on that settlement after the completion of the quest.

Bugs

  • PCPC Completing this quest resets Proctor Teagan's inventory, allowing you to buy more sets of T-51 armor & frame.[verified]
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One If Covenant is selected as the target settlement, there will be no voiced dialogue for Jacob Orden when bartering for the crops.[verified]
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 After killing all the settlers (except for the children) and obtaining the crops from the settlement, you will be notified that the Brotherhood of Steel now controls that settlement. However, the player can still build and control the settlement as normal.[verified]
  • PCPC If a settlement is lost to the Brotherhood without first acquiring it for the Minutemen, the quest can be failed via setstage BoSR05 355 and the quest to acquire the settlement for the Minutemen is available again. After this, one must use console commands setstage BoSR05 50 to finish the Brotherhood quest or Teagan can not be spoken to.[verified]
