stuck on artillery quest Old Guns

[madeirabhoy]

Basically ive been down in the cellars, came up, built the atillery. Ronnie mumbled something about a test building, wasnt really listening. wandered out expecting the quest flag to be on the test building, but its still showing as the centre of the castle by the transmitter.

So i wander out listening to the violins of Radio Freedom, and i go to the nearest building outside, lob a smoke bomb at it, and i hear Ronnie telling me its the wrong place. but ive no idea whats the right place and with 9 smoke bombs left im worried about getting it wrong.

She wants you to go the building you first came to take over the Castle when you meet with Preston. If you have the quest selected in the Pipboy, should see the marker right outside that building.

Of course, you need to build and man the artillery before it can happen. :P

Yeah build the artillery first and assign a person to it.

[dtt.scanner]

yeah, assigning people might be the issue. The building is the kiosk down the hill.

Something funky about the quest lately. People said they needed to scrap/store the guard posts on top of the walls.

I built a second one and then it progressed for me.

When the quest is active there will be a quest marker showing you where to drop the test round. You will need artillery built, settler assigned to it, artillery smoke grenads and throw one near the target. It helps if you listen to Radio Freedom as that will give you feedback on the progress of the artillery strike.

very weird but got there. quest marker was still showing at the transmitter. went and did some other quests came back. still quest at transmitter. went to the correct place and threw a smoke grenade. still violins. went back to the castle, notice it says there's not enough power despite having 20 power. its red. add more. and more. still showing red at 50 power. speak to everyone hanging around who all offer to trade, including Ronnie. then go back outside and the quest marker has moved to the same building ive thrown two smokes into, throw another one and its okay.
