Quests are structured missions that have a set objective and a guaranteed reward.

FOnline 3 features an all-new main quest and a number of side quests you can complete.

It also contains a number of legacy quests, carried over from FOnline2238, some of which might be broken (see below).

Completing a quest typically rewards you with experience points and/or items, and may affect your reputation.

Quests that spawn a new location on the world map can typically be done in either real-time or turn-based mode, depending on what your game is set to when you accept them.

Main quest

Side quests

Legacy quests

A full list of quests whose progress is tracked in your Pip-Boy. "Dogs of LA" and "Join the Raiders" can no longer be completed and are thus excluded from our table of quests. "Deliver the Gun Runners Package" can be completed but provides no rewards: for that reason, it is also excluded.

As you stroll around the Wasteland, you may encounter familiar FO2238 NPCs that are still looking to put you to work.

Some of the quests you get this way are broken: they either cannot be completed, or give no reward when you do.

Many still work, however. Below is a full list of various legacy quests and mini quests that you can accept, complete, and receive XP for.

They are split into three categories: Pip-Boy quests, repeatable tasks (a.k.a. "jobs"), and minor quests.

Pip-Boy quests are tracked in your personal journal ("Pip-Boy"), usually involve combat and can take a while to complete.

Minor quests can only be completed once and don't appear in your Pip-Boy; they're mostly quick and painless to complete.

Repeatable tasks can usually be completed quickly, and then completed again, and again, and again.
