How do I stop the RadScorpions?

  • 1 of 9: First, have you been "assigned" the RadScorpion quest?
  • 2 of 9: You can check by looking at your PipBoy and pressing the Status button. If there is an entry under Shady Sands saying "Stop the RadScorpions", then you have the quest.
  • 3 of 9: Once you have the quest there are two ways to stop the RadScorpions.
  • 4 of 9: You can use brute force.
  • 5 of 9: Or finesse.
  • 6 of 9: Both methods require going to the RadScorpion caves.
  • 7 of 9: You can just walk in and kill all the RadScorpions in the cave.
  • 8 of 9: Or you can use dynamite and block off the entrance.
  • 9 of 9: You can even do both for maximum experience points.
