Am i doing something wrong?

[Afterdark]

I had a quest to talk to private reynolds and right before talking with him we got ambushed by the legion and he died. The quest is still active but hes dead obviously so I cant talk to him. My question is, is the quest bugged or do i just move on to the next quest, im a tad confused.

I assume this is the quest you're talking about. I guess I dunno. The notes section makes mention of the fact that he will be killed by Legion Assassins, but doesn't say what you can do about it. My guess is that the quest is bugged to not realize that a vital NPC was killed (which usually auto-fails the mission), and that there's nothing you can do about it short of reloading an earlier save, or using the console to revive him.

Thankyou for the reply,luckily I still have my old save if it fails to work.
