Have an experiment go horribly awry.— Challenge description

Notes[]

  • This challenge is not repeatable.
  • The holotape required to unlock the experiment option at the splicing laboratory can be found on a table next to a terminal in the observatory room overlooking the Residential Testing Chamber where one encounters Gabe during the main quest X-8: High School Horror!. The room is reached after exiting the X-8 testing facility and once at the fork, taking a right and following the hallways all the way to the last observational room; beware as when first coming through here, there will be one or two Protectrons and three to four lobotomites.
