Outer Worlds came out in October of 2019 and it was a lovely combination of Fallout and Elders Scrolls mechanics but put into a hyper-capitalist space adventure.
Fans loved the game, and want more. While waiting in hopes of more content though, we can only replay the adventure.
If you are thinking of replaying Outer Worlds or are going at it for the first time, here are ten side quests that are easily missed but worth doing.
10 Makes Space Suits, Won’t Travel
This actually might be one of those quests you just don’t want to do because it is a lot of work. However, it is how you get the best light armor in the game. Firstly, you need to model a lot of different outfits for Celeste Jolicoeur. Then you need to gather different materials from various planets.
You may need a walkthrough for this one. The reward is the chimaera armor. To find this quest, go to Celeste’s shop in Byzantium’s Prosperity Plaza.
9 A Family Matter
Another side quest in Stellar Bay is called “A Family Matter.” You get the quest from Agnes. According to her, her son is ran away to join the Iconoclasts in Amber Heights. She will pay you to bring him back.
Depending on your choices in this questline, you can get more reputation. Either way though, you do get experience.
8 Vulcan’s Hammer
This quest is received in Roseway by Orson Shaw. Basically, he needs some schematics that he left in the towns’ Storage Facility and wants you to retrieve them for him.
Once you get the schematics you can either give them to Orson or Gladys. Giving it to Orson is advisable, as you will get more rewards. It gives you Auntie Cleo reputation, a pistol, experience, and money. Gladys will only give you money, and its the same amount as Orson would give.
7 The Stainless Steel Rat
There is nothing quite as thrilling in a video game than a murder mystery, and that is what this side quest is. A man has been killed in his own Stellar Bay apartment on Monarch, and you get to investigate what happened.
The way to get this quest is pretty easy, as you will hear someone yell “There has been a murder,” right near the apartment building.
6 The Frightened Engineer
In the Emerald Vale Botanical labs, you can meet Thomas Kemp. He is trying to teach himself engineering and is hoping you can find him three books that can help him learn.
Luckily, all these volumes can be found in the Emerald Vale. Doing this quest will gain you Deserter reputation and a eletcro-charged surface that you can apply at a workbench.
5 Why Call Them Back from Retirement?
This side quest is one of, if not the most, disturbing narratives in the game. You get the quest in Byzantium from Hortense Ingalsbee. She asks you to investigate the Board’s Early Retirement program.
The truth you discover is that the board is actually executing people. You can lie or tell Hortense the truth. Lying will result in the Board’s reputation going up. Telling the truth will get you negative reputation with the Board. Whichever you choose, you will get experience and money.
4 The Grimm Tomorrow
This quest is received at Stellar Bay when you first land, so it is pretty easy to receive. You obtain the quest from Grimm. Basically, he wants you to recover a tossball poster. Its pretty simple, and a way to get more Monarch Industries reputation.
This is also easily combined with the side quest: “Secret People.”
3 Secret People
Speaking of “Secret People,” that is another side quest worth doing. It is pretty creepy and can get you more Monarch Stellar Industries reputation. You get the quest from Velma, and she tells you that there is a worker who is missing.
In terms of side quests, this is one of those that has a more interesting story and with memorable characters.
2 At Central
Received in the Prosperity Plaza of Byzantium, this quest is just a plain good time. It is sure to make you laugh. Basically, you get to act out a part for a film audition!
The audition is worth it just for the funny dialogue exchange. However, you do also get positive Board reputation and some money as well.
1 A Few Kindred Spirits
This quest is picked up in the Botanical Labs in the Emerald Vale. You get it from Grace Romero and are on the search for a missing deserter named Zoe.
When you find her, it’s a little goofy as she deserted because she wants to join the outlaws and do crime. You have various choices in this quest, such as lying to Grace, telling Grace the truth, or convincing Zoe to return to the labs. Depending on your choices, you get different rewards too.
