Bugs[]

  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One Even if the player character is not hostile with the Brotherhood of Steel after finishing the game, P.A.M will assign them this quest. It also shares this bug with another radiant quest, High Ground which P.A.M. can also assign. [verified]
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 It is possible for the Brotherhood Patrol to die before the player character reaches them, which does not fail the quest but will seemingly cause it to break. There is no apparent way to complete A Clean Equation should this happen, though P.A.M. will dispense new quests. [verified]
