Summary
Fallout 4’sFar HarborDLC takes players to a small island off the coast of Boston which is full ofinteresting mysteries and surprises. As well as having several joinable factions and a huge number of unique quests and locations, players will also be able to pick up some high-grade loot throughout the island, either as part of quests or through interacting with certain characters.

Fortunately, even players who have previously completed the DLC can revisit the location to retrieve some of these powerful items. In order to start the DLC for the first time, players will need to speak with Nick Valentine’s secretary, Ellie Perkins in Diamond City.
