Just completed "I am become death" about 6 minutes after starting it.

[krashd]

And I'm not happy about it, I get to the final mission of the game and it insta-completes because someone in my team dropped a nuke on the prime fissure.

It had about 6 steps to complete and I was on the first one, I still had to find code pieces, steal a keycard, go to Mama Dolce's for something or other and work my way through one of the silos but as I'm walking out of the bunker I get a notification that the mission is complete and I get a handful of caps...

Christ knows what rewards I've missed out on by not completing any of the steps. Nor do I actually know what I'm supposed to do now or who to see...

You missed out on nothing, the nuke quest can be repeated an infinite number of times and the reward was the fight after the nuke lands

So how do you find out about treasury notes and gold?

[Syrrah]

"I Am Become Death" is the final quest in the Enclave questline.

You learn about treasury notes and gold during the "Secrets revealed" quest of the Wastelanders quest line (also final quest I believe). Completely different set of quests.

In theory it might be possible to finish the nuke-quest before the gold-quest, but logically a player would complete Wastelanders before Enclave, since the first is a sort of basic player training ...

Why would someone complete the DLC before the main game?

This happened to me. I was not on a team.

Latest patch it seems if anyone on the server launches a nuke it completes the main quest for all players on server.

Because the game pushes you into that direction, once you leave the vault you get the quest to start with the wayward which leads in to the DLC/Wastelanders story.

While the main story pushes you to find the overseer and the logs she left behind, you'll come across the responders and continue the story.

The story in chronological order:
The year 2102: you leave the vault on reclamation day, Appalachia is empty, you find logs from the overseer and will come across the responders, you decide to join up and learn about the scorched and are looking for an inoculation. This will lead you all over appalachia, Rose and eventually into the mire, Where you will find the Free States and finding the BoS and the Harper Ferry people/warning systems. You found that the BoS had fallen and they wanted to use the nuclear silos to fight the schorched. This will lead you in on a trail to find the freestates and the goverment, leading you into the enclave and getting the rank of general to aclaim acces to the nuclear silos. You then use the nukes to stop the scorched plague. You will also find out that the original mission/objective of the Overseer/Vault 76 was to reclaim the nuclear silo's in name of Vault-Tec.

Fast forward a year, 2103:
People seem to be making a return to Appalachia you get at the wayward, find about the crane treasure. You will then find the overseer has returned alive and meet her for the first time, you then get to know the Settler and Raiders and you learn about the new fort knox and you choose which one to heist vault 79 with and after that you will be introduced to the secret service and gold buillion.

It's not DLC, its part of the main game. This game doesn't really have a linear story. There is no main game, and you can proceed with the quests in any order with no impact.

Never said it didn't, but you don't have to follow that order hence why there is no linear story. You can complete any of it in any order you want.

Code pieces are for manually decrypting the silo codes. Which you need to have like a degree of cryptology skill to do it. All of which becomes obsolete when using this website. https://nukacrypt.com/solved

steal a keycard

This is easily done, and you need to do it repeatedly. Shoot down a drone (one with the escorts) or you can call for one using the computer in Whitesrping. You want 2-3 of them when you go into a silo just in case you do the code wrong (it eats the card.)

You can still go there and read the same lore.

You will have that chance to do that over and over...

You did not miss out on anything, but I get the disappointment.

[BlazeD]

Absolutely nothing stopping you from doing it again.

Well repeating it does not give the side stuff the original did.

You also got to admit, not like the OP had much of see the quest before it was completed by someone else.

On a technical note you would think the scripting would have at least required him to enter a silo....

[Mooman]

You can play the game just fine without ever completing that quest, there is nothing locked behind it.

Of course not completing means not firing nukes but you can still do events from other peoples nukes and there are no unique rewards from the quest.

However the overseer will still berate you for firing nukes and you apologise for something you never did in a throwaway conversation.

Only thing I can think you may miss is the keycard to get into the base under Mamma Dolces that spawns in a random encounter during the quest. Not a lot in there but lore and the instructions to decode the nukes but as said nukacrypt covers that for most people.

That keycard sits on the desk on the 2nd floor.

i was just trying to complete the first Enclave Quest "One of Us" on Sugar Grove when someone decided to drop a nuke on Monongah, hell why this quest get so buggy with the nukes?
