However, the setstage command does not seem to work for this quest if the situation outlined above is currently in effect. You could also try setting the stage to 10 instead of 20 if you don't yet have the paint.
PC You can try to resolve this issue by using the console command setstage ffdiamondcity01 20 if you already have the paint.Completing the quest seems to fix this issue. A possible cause is a quest objective for Quartermastery or Kidnapping being in Hardware Town, regardless of if the quest is active or not.A way to avoid the bug may be by not making the green paint before meeting him and get the quest. Disabling and enabling Abbot does not fix the quest. On the other hand, if the green paint is already obtained before attempting to talk to Abbot, removing it from the inventory first may allow talking to him, though in this case, the quest may still malfunction. Sometimes this can be cleared by going to Hardware Town and obtaining the green paint. He will just speak his "I'm busy!" lines.

Abbot will be happy about this.Ībbot in Diamond City wants me to show him what kind of paint I've found by applying some to the Wall. I've managed to mix a can of Green Paint, the same color as the Wall in Diamond City. Time to go back to Diamond City and collect my reward. There's a place called Hardware Town where I can start looking.

Painting the wall blue or yellow will result in a reward of 100 caps from Abbot. Return to Diamond City and use the paint on the wall. The paint mixer is right by the ramp to the basement and can be accessed without killing all the raiders, though it may alert them to the player character's presence. The Sole Survivor can clear out the basement first and work their way up through a hole in the main floor. This will allow for a more stealthy infiltration, as the raiders will not initially be aware of the player character's presence. There is an issue of Picket Fences upstairs in the main office, on the desk.Īlternatively, one can enter through a loading dock behind Hardware Town. Various ammo, loot, and valuables can be found in machines and locked chests around the warehouse. At the far back of the storage hall, there is a paint mixer that can be used to mix green paint using yellow and blue paint. Once the raiders have been killed, cans of yellow and blue paint can be collected around the warehouse. Follow them inside where a group of raiders will be waiting in ambush. Approaching the store, a settler, seemingly in distress, will shout and ask the Sole Survivor for help.
The Sole Survivor may also already have the green paint if a radiant quest from the Minutemen leading to Hardware Town has been done and the Sole Survivor mixed the paint, as only one can is needed.Įxit Diamond City and head west to find Hardware Town.
It is not necessary to go to Hardware Town if one already has the paint in their inventory. Passing a speech check can get Abbot to pay for the paint upfront or to give more caps. He will ask to retrieve a can of paint from Hardware Town. Talk to Abbot at the wall in the northwest part of Diamond City, against the green scoreboard.
