Home Away from Home is a side quest in the Fallout 4 Creations content "Tale of the Beast Hunter".

Quick walkthrough[]

Go to a guy's house in Nahant, pick up a morse code radio signal, go in, get told to go away, go upstairs and grab an arrest warrant on a desk. Leave and go to the police office, kill some raiders, grab a sewer key, and go in the sewers. Grab holotape logs with playing cards along the way. Find a storage room with a terminal and use it to unlock a nearby door you previously passed. Kill the Beast Hunter (you can loot the Ranger Beast Hunter outfit from his body) and his pet Deathclaw Bessy. Find a terminal in the area to unlock a large pipe's grate door, and enter.

Loot what you want from the area which is also a Workshop and functions as a player home, and grab a Wasteland Survival Guide on the bar counter, plus a Guns and Bullets on a box on a shelf near it. Find a note on a workbench to trigger the next quest Legendary Hunt. Behind the yellow power armor station is a staircase leading back outside.

5 Investigate the source of the Emergency Frequency J1397M signalI picked up a distress signal in Morse code, I'd better go see what it is.
6 Investigate what happenedAfter finding the source of a distress signal, I found an abandoned house. I'd better look around to see what happened
10 Look for another way into the basementI tried to open the basement door in a dusty old house in Nahant, and a man threatened me with his Deathclaw if I didn't leave. I wonder if there are some clues to another way into the basement.
20 Investigate Nahant Police Station for a way into the basementJust found an old arrest warrant for Greggor McKenzie. Charges include "unlawful excavation" and "sewage leak" sounds like he dug into the sewer. That might be my basement entrance. I might learn more at the Nahant Police Station.
30 Go to the Nahant SewerI found the sewer map. The entrance isn't far from Greggor McKenzie's house. I should make my way there to see if he managed to dig into the sewer; if so, that's my way into the basement.
35 Look for the dig out to the basementI found the sewer entrance wasn't far from the house. Now I just need to make my way through this grimy mess to find the dig-out that leads directly into the basement.
110 Survive the ambushAfter making my way through the sewer, I've been trapped with a baby Deathclaw. The man speaking over the intercom system was the same one I had encountered earlier when I entered the abandoned house.
130Quest finishedDefeat the Beast HunterAfter I defeated the baby Deathclaw, the man from the intercom system emerged to fight me personally.

  • Quest can also be started by grabbing the Beast Hunter Bounty Poster in the Sunken Speakeasy if you also have the Become a Bounty Hunter Creation in your load order.
  • If you keep interacting with the closed door at the start of the quest where you get told to go away, you will get blown up.
  • Vault Boy in the quest icon is similar to the perk icon for Lone Wanderer.
