Bugs

  • PCPC Honest Dan will disappear if you finished the main quest first (PS4: fixed with update 1.2.37).[verified] However, you can still obtain Covenant as a settlement by killing everyone inside excluding Deezer and the cats.
  • PCPC Honest Dan might turn hostile when entering the compound for no reason. Quest advances in incorrect order. This is likely due to the player wearing a power armor helmet equipped with the Targeting Mod. A nearly identical situation occurs if the player enters Virgil's cave under similar conditions. In that case, removing the helmet prior to entering and for the duration of the player's time in the compound appears to resolve this issue.[verified]
  • PCPC If the main Quest is complete, and the player has not yet visited Covenant or the Compound, all NPCs will be friendly, regardless of the faction with which the Sole Survivor has sided.[verified]
