7:47 - Just noticed that Harkness is base on the T1000 character in the Terminator 2 movie. Not only does he look like the character but both are effective in combat and are blending in society by being disguised as people serving the police force or in Harkness's case the security force of Rivet City.
That's an interesting view, it's not something I think I have thought of before. He is a synth but I never really thought of a synth to be like a terminator. He was actually escapitthe institute and the good doctor in River city helped to settle him in by wiping out his memory. But your view is actually very refreshing to think about, a whole new take on things.
@@thrillvilled111 When you put it that way, yeah I think so. What's even strange is if you check both the bodyguard and Dr Zimmer, you will find android components on both of them also, they are also synth but did not know about it.
@@TrappedInFallout It's likely Dr. Zimmer has cybernetics like Kellogg. Armitage the bodyguard is a synth as he warms the player not to do anything malious to Dr. Zimmer.
@@thrillvilled111 Hopefully I won't ruin this for you but if you take out Zimmer and hie bodyguard, they both have Android components, they are both Synths.
Hey Joshua, thank you brother for your kind words and positive response. It really lifted my spirit when reading your comment, thank you my friend. And also thank you for your support, I truly appreciate it. If you have any suggestions or ideas then feel free to tell anytime my friend.
I actually found all 3 of those Holotapes in Underworld where you get Charon. There's even some dialogue with some of the residents there about the tapes.
Mine bugged out, so the dialog option for Dr. Preston didnt pop up. All i had to do was locate Pinkerton and get on his terminal, then i went straight to Harkness
Never mind… so the megaton doctors holotape wasn’t there and there isn’t a speech check for him which probably means I picked it up already, but I don’t see it anywhere. Does that mean I’m just screwed?
I can’t get into Pinkertons terminal. Edit: I went back to megaton to see if I missed anything, and that one lady ( forgot her name, the one with the railroad ) talked to me. Got the part. Then I went up to Moira for some stim packs and saw a speech check from her, so after THAT I was able to go to Pinkerton. Hope that helps anyone else who was lost lol
No problem at all, I'm happy that it saved you time. This is pretty much what I have in mind when I edit my videos, short enough to get the point across.
Hey Brother, another awesome guide to see, Dr Zimmer looks cool lol, perfect you showed what to choose dialogue properly . How’s it going. Throwing this amazing gameplay a full watch now, Take Care 😃
Hi Welshboy55, thanks buddy for checking out my guide. I really hope that it did help you out. I try to make my guides easy to follow and simple so hopefully it did the trick. Thanks again for watching and commenting Welshboy55. Always appreciate any feedback that I get.
Hello, Mo. I really enjoy all of your Fallout guides. You are my go-to source for all things Fallout related! I wanted to share my experience trying this quest with you and your audience. I was unable to complete the quest as you described in your video. After meeting Dr. Zimmer and starting the quest as you indicated, I was leaving the Science Lab area when I ran into the NPC named Victoria Watts, who gave me the android component and asked me to tell Dr. Zimmer that the android was dead and that proof of its death would be the android component that she gave me. However, I did NOT give the component to Dr. Zimmer and tell him that the android was dead as Victoria asked me to do. I intended to follow the rest of your guide as per your video. However, when I reached Dr. Preston in the Rivet City clinic, he did NOT give me the dialogue choice that you showed in your video. I wonder if talking with Victoria Watts and getting the android component changed the dialogue options from Dr. Preston? As a result, I was not given his holotape. I was very frustrated, but I continued the quest anyways. I went to Pinkerton's lab in the submerged fore section of Rivet City, and spoke with him. Surprisingly, he still gave me the information and proof that Harkness is the android. I then found Harkness and told him that he was the android, and then asked him for permission to kill Dr. Zimmer. He gave me the A3-21 plasma rifle and permission to kill Dr. Zimmer (which gave me positive Karma). I then when to Dr. Zimmer and told him that Harkness was the android and showed him the proof that Pinkerton provided me. Dr. Zimmer then rewarded me with the Wired Reflexes perk. I then killed Dr. Zimmer's android guard and Dr. Zimmer (which gave me Zimmer's key, etc.). So in the end, I received both the A3-21 plasma rifle and the Wired Reflex perk, but I achieved it in a different manner than you did. I wanted to share this in case that it is helpful to others.
Thanks for your detailed steps. It's lovely to see that you were able to get the same rewards with slightly different steps. It is interesting to see how speaking to an NPC changed the course but same results.
Dr Zimmer likes to enslave robots and I happen to have a thing to robots. Not on my watch buddy 😄. Thanks so much for watching and supporting my video bud.
I wasn't able to get anything from either doctor. The only holotape I've found so far is the one in the church at Rivet City. Supposed to be one in the docs office at Megaton and in docs office in Rivet City but nope, not there, supposed to be one in Craterside but none there. Will check the bus next...
I did this quest multiple times in order to get both rewards. Greedy little me wasn't happy with just one or the other. Very helpful walkthrough. IIRC I'm pretty sure it was asking Moira Brown about the legend of the android that started the quest for me.
Thanks Hoody, it's an excellent way to get both rewards which is great. The weapon you get is actually a very powerful one and the extra from Zimmer helps too. It's also a nice bonus getting to keep Harnkness, I do like him and opt to always keep him around. When I think about it, doing this quest perhaps should have resulted in him being a companion.
@@bghoody5665 That actually sounds really cool. In FO4, you can do something very similar to an actual companion so why not give Harkness some cool upgrades.
It's an amazing game and will easily draw you into it. The story is great and freedoms you have to do what ever you want is crazy. Thanks so much for watching my friend.
Hey Kev, thanks buddy for checking out my video in its entirety, that's was really awesome of you. I really hope that you enjoyed this one and found it useful. It's one of my personal favourite ones. I like Harkness and not a big fan of Zimmer so I had some personal pleasure recording and editing this one ha ha. Thanks again Kev 👍
@@KevTarot Sadly I don't think you get anything from her. She is simply a messenger of sorts and does not reward you for your efforts, or rather none that I know off.
There’s a much simpler way to get both rewards though: -If you tell Harken he should go with Zimmer and then pass the more difficult speech check, he will give you the weapon and ask you to tell Zimmer to take him back to the Commonwealth. Speaking with Zimmer will get you the perk. I’m even incline to think this was intended as the canon ending of the quest, as EpicNate later found out that leftover files in FO4 indicate that early during development, Zimmer was supposed to appear in that game. Add that to the fact that the aforementioned outcome in FO3 grants both rewards without any exploits and I’m confident to say that such was the outcome Bethesda originally intended for.
That's really interesting, and it's not an option I had entertained before. I will have a look myself and see how it all plays out. Your right, from a early development point of view it may have been the case.
In hindsight I probably should have, yes. It's easy enough to exit. Trace your steps back or you can use the door that you see to your left as soon as you leave his office which leads right outside the ship.
I truly think that the best outcome is that Harkness never finds out about his past… I mean can you imagine the strain of having two memories to deal with every waking moment one memory that’s your own and another that’s not and is someone’s else’s. I think Harkness says it all when you tell him he gos “my life’s a lie” you can hear the pain in his voice. So the most moral choice is to tell Zimmer that he’s dead and give him the chip as proof.
That's a great view, thanks for sharing. From a moral point of view I agree. Taking that view or steps certainly helps. However, how about this view. Ignoring the rewards, if he knows would be not better protect him self as others may come looking for him after Dr Zimmer? It's a very interesting thought process.
I think they may not always spawn which naturally does not help. Try restarting your game and see if that helps. You may even need to load up an old save file sadly. As long as your triggering the relevant dialogues things should spawn.
Sounds like something went wrong. It should be there, at least the tape as it's not tied to anything. I would reset the game and try again to see if it works.
The switch to the door is literally on the opposite wall to the door. It throw me off too when I first encountered it as I was a little confused. Basically walk up to the door, turn around and walk to the opposite wall. The switch is on that wall.
Well shit ! I have already done this quest and got NEITHER of the rewards. Wish I knew you had made this video MO. Is there any way I can get the rewards now? Even just one of them?? Thanks
You can get the weapon if you have Harkness still around and followed the dialogue options shown in the video. Same for Zimmer. But if they have boy walked away then sadly not since the moment they walk away they don't appear in the game anymore.
The way Harkness stood there holding the gun always in the same position and another female security guard behind him was leaning against the wall resting like a normal human being. His behavior already denounced somehow that he was not a normal human.
That's a good observation. When you eventually find out about Harkness, observing his behaviour can at times lead one to see how he can be a little different from normal. At the same time would someone with a similar background behave identically, I'm not too sure myself. I'll be honest, it's not something I thought about before, good eye.
Ouch, well there are plenty of other clues around the wasteland so your not out of luck just yet. That said, I did too one, never did again after that playthrough.
I dont go that route but ridiculously i just randomly do some sidequest in super duper marker, hit on kid, led me to another Doc then give me instruction directly to pinkerton
So whats the point of the option? I just did this quest and the drs wouldn't do the dialog for the optional part. I just went to plinkerton and got all the information from him and still got the gun so im very confused
Hey Donald Duck, if the door does not open automatically then there is a switch directly opposite the door, it looks like a large yellow box of sorts. If you press the switch then the door should open. I hope that this answers your question. Many thanks for watching and commenting.
You get an almost god tier weapon and an increase to your VATS. But you can take out Zimmer also and I think this does prevent from Harkness disappearing.
Dr Zimmer and his body guard had android components on them i think they were synths too and also what do you do with the dr zimmer keys you find on their corpse
Yeah it basically confirms that they are both Androids or synths. The keys you get allows you to unlock his bedroom and safe which is located on the very top deck in Rivit City. It's worth going and exploring to find out what's there. Last time I looked, just some basic stuff.
Pinkerton is needed for part of the Wasteland Survival Guide quest (History of Rivet City), so if you get to him via the underwater route (which bypasses the need for 100 lockpick to open the front door that's at the end of the metal walkway), make sure you go to the front door and use the switch on the wall to unlock it permanently 👍
Tha KS for sharing your advice, I really appreciate it. I personally use the underwater route as I don't tend to have 100 in lockpicking that early on in the game.
@@TrappedInFallout Yes, but if you go to the door after doing the underwater thing and use the switch on the wall, it will open the door permanently so you can always go in the easy way and don't need 100 lockpick 👍
@@iraceruk ah I see what you mean now, thanks for that. I should have mentioned that in my guide, if I ever do an update then I certainly will at the time.
This could be due to the game essentially trying to catch-up. You can try waiting or sleeping in a bed and seeing if that helps. Altenatively you can find other clues all around the wasteland that would also lead to you being able to uncover Harkness via the NPC inside the sunken part of Rivit City.
Hey Zoie, thanks for your comment. I know the feeling. It does feel very 'spy' and mission critical. Really it's just exploiting the pick pocket mechanics and for once you don't have to choose as you can get both with a little trick.
@@TrappedInFallout for me I just start the quest with Zimmer, then I warn harknes, then tell him I'll help him and do the one where he gives me his plasma rifle and then I go tell Zimmer where his android is and right after he gives me the perk I delete both of them. So easy so fast
@@TrappedInFallout I think there's just one major holotape to find the one that reveals both his name and location, or at least the before and after pics of him
If you have blown up Megaton you can still get some tapes but they are all located outside. I'm not sure where exactly but there are a few more across other towns etc. You also get some clues by random noc who approach you while outside.
Hey Obsidian Man, after completing the quest and getting his reward, to my knowledge he does not give any more quests or is tied to any. I basically toke him out because I wanted Harkness around. I hope this answers your question and thank you so much for asking. Stay safe Obsidian Man.
@@Jamick98Geass Thank you so much for your feedback and for subscribing to my channel. I hope that I am able publish videos that you do find useful and enjoyable. Thanks again Obsidian Man, I appreciate buddy.
@@TrappedInFallout I finally got to this quest I got both of the rewards. Thanks for all the tips, Moe. For anyone reading this, when going to see Doctor Pinkerton, put on a Radiation Suit and take some Rad X before diving into the water so you only take minimal Rad damage.
@@Jamick98Geass Thanks Obsidian Man, I appreciate your comment and thank you so much for sharing your steps to help people out to take less radiation damage from the water, much appreciated dude.
@Commander_Rane I'm not sure if that has been asked but it should work with TTW as its part of the base game and not reliant on any glitches or exploits. Just using standard game mechanics.
@ Thanks for the quick response! I only ask because I know some things have been patched out in that mod (like fixer doing what it’s actually supposed to) I will test and if I remember, report back here.
Regrettably, I dropped the ball and chose the wrong speech option and don’t have a recent enough save to revert to. I received the unique plasma rifle but never found Zimmer again. I didn’t realize until I rewatched the video and identified my mistake. Unfortunately I can’t say for certain but I can ASSUME it still works in TTW. I apologize for an inconclusive effort.
Yes, it should still be possible. Make sure to speak to Harkness first followed by Zimmer and make sure to take out Zimmer also (although you don't have to do that).
I think they patched this method, i did everything you've done in the video, but when i try to kill zimmer, he won't die! Him and his bodyguard will only be unconcious and all rivet city will become hostile to me, at least i've got both of the rewards.
That's very interesting. He can not be taken out, not until you have finished with Harkness, but this is the first time I have heard that's still the case after completing the quest. Oh well, as long as you have both the rewards.
I tried following this video after making new characters over 12 times and never is the doctor unlock to talk about the android…i find it way easier/quicker going to megaton always 100% there
@TrappedInFallout I always forget when Starting a new character 😆 And ur guides always my go to and i keep repeating same mistake again all 12 times 😄 🤣 I'm not joking
There are some others but they are a little random. There is one where you basically walk around Megaton or Rivet City and at some point a random NPC shows up and talks to you about the whole situation. Other then that I don't recall at this time. I will have to check it out and give myself a refresher. You can try doing the other ones shown in the video and then try the doc again.
Hey Proton, thanks for your comment and sorry to hear that it's not spawned. Which did not spawn, they should do as there are no requirements. Alternatively you can find more clues outside of the ones that I had shown. Let me know which clues you were able to find and I can try to point you in a direction of some other clues.
@@Gistorian Ah, then you should be able to get a hold of the ones in Rivet City. Alternatively you can walk around the wasteland and at some point a random NPC will approach you with another clue.
Does Harkness say something different than the video when asked about Zimmer? Bcuz i don't remember having the options in the video. But, yeah, got the rifle, got the perk, killed Zimmer then got Rivet police turn on me.
I'm not entirely sure. With this quest I tend to play it out the way I showed in the video so I am not entirely sure if any vastly different dialogue options. But yeah, as long as you have the relevant rewards then it should be good.
For this guide I decided to go with the tapes that seemed easy to find and even I forgot that there was a tape in that bus. Is just so easy to get and does the trick. I hope that the rest of my video was able to help.
Sorry to hear that David. Yeah, Harness will disappear if you let Dr. Zimmer take him away. Did the Doctor take away Harness or did you 'stop' him from doing that? Basically the last bit of the video where we have to take out both the Doctor and his guard.
Megaton contains some of those vital clues so that you can then fish for the good Doctor on the other side of Rivet city. That said, if you blow up Megaton then you will have to find the clues in other locations around the wasteland. Off the top of my head I can't think of any but I do know for sure that there are other clues around the wasteland that you can get to continue with the questline.
The switch for the door is on the opposite wall to the door. Go to the door, turn around by 180 and it should be in the wall opposite. It's like a big red button. It was probably open for me from a previous run.
It might be. Sometimes items do not spawn or sometimes they simply get knocked over by other NPCs and then kicked about. You can try reloading an old save file to see of you still have it in an earlier part of the game.
You technically don't have to kill Dr Zimmer. Just talk to him and tell him you've found the android and he will give you your reward. Once he walks away you can choose to let him take Harkness back to the Institute or kill him to prevent that from happening. Either way you get both rewards.
Hey Gamer Gremlin, your absolutely right. Given that I have both the rewards there really is no need to take out the doctor at the end. In the end I decided to take out Dr Zimmer as I did want Harkness around. But you raise a good point, thank you for sharing that with me my friend. Thanks again Gamer Gremlin for your input, I appreciate it buddy.
@@WarNvrChanges Yeah, I'm not a big fan of what the Dr says and does. He had to go. Thanks again Gamer Gremlin for watching and commenting, appreciate it.
He should be there but if he is not then it's not a total loss as he is just one source of getting some clues to then trigger the remaining of the dialogue options with Harkness etc. You can go and find some of the other clues and that should do it.
Technically you can go and hunt for all the holotapes if you like before going to Rivet City. But I would suggest you go to Rivet City first and activate the quest to reduce any possible bugs which happen. I hope this answers your question.
@@ethanw041 No problem at all, sorry about that though. It's actually a very good weapon, almost God tier in FO3 world so it's worth getting if you can.
@@DEPRIVEDSOULS Ah ok, yeah sometimes the game can be bugged or some underlying condition prevents things from happening. I as long as you have multiple save files then hopefully it's all ok on your side.
Hey Rahnee, thanks for your comment, I'm sorry to hear that your having issues. You first need to talk to Dr Zimmer to start the quest off, once done then you should be able to talk to Dr Preston and take things from there. In terms of the holotapes, they don't actually have a baring on you taking to anyone. They should be just sitting there. It's just that you need to collect them to finish the quest. Let me know how it goes, I hope that this helps.
@@rahneegultiano7648 Sorry to hear that buddy, it could possibly be a glitched of bugged quest. In my video I literally go through the steps. Have you tried perhaps loading up an earlier save file to see if you can get the quest to work? Sorry that I can't be anymore helpful than that, not sure what else to suggest it's your the first person to tell me about this particular issue. Let me know how it goes buddy.
@@rahneegultiano7648 You may have to but do try to grab the gun from Harkness before taking to Zimmer. They are both great rewards. Thanks again Rahnee for your comment and support.
hi i am playing tales of two wastelands version after i followed the dialog choices with harkness got the gun went back to science lab and Zimmer and bodyguard were not there could they have patched it out in that version ? scrubb that i went back a 3rd time he was just about to walk out got the perk thank you it reminds me of mccready perk in fallout 4
Hi Mohamed, yes it looks identical to a normal Plasma Rifle. Some of the unique weapons in the game also have a unique look however the A3-21's Plasma Rifle looks identical to a normal Plasma Rifle. I hope this answers your question Mohamed. Many thanks for asking and thank you for watching.
@@TrappedInFallout there's a guy in the megaton saloon that tells you to blow up megaton and he'll reward you but a lot of people think it's going to be a crappy reward and it's actually a a sweet like you get your own house in 10 Penny Tower
Actually answer the question and if you know it or you don't instead of just giving a thumbs up or a heart please cuz I'd like to get that legendary plasma rifle can you still do the quest if you blew up megaton cuz every time I go to megaton it says it's the ruins there's nobody there
@@Hellfire1862 Yes you can. Instead of finding clues in Megaton you will instead have to travel to other places for the clues. In short yes, you can. You don't have to have Megaton to finish the quest. Megaton was just easier to use because it was simple to navigate.
No problem at all Obama, more than happy to have been able to help. Many thanks for checking out my video, I really appreciate it and thank you for your comment too.
I got the 3 hollow tapes in Rivet city 1- From buddy in market place who sells a little bit of everything 2- the Doctor as mentioned in this video 3- Sisters Hotel room Great video otherwise!
On a side note prior of starting the quests “ almost “ all Holotapes can be found in Megaton.

7:47 - Just noticed that Harkness is base on the T1000 character in the Terminator 2 movie. Not only does he look like the character but both are effective in combat and are blending in society by being disguised as people serving the police force or in Harkness's case the security force of Rivet City.

I was unable to complete the quest as you described in your video. After meeting Dr. Zimmer and starting the quest as you indicated, I was leaving the Science Lab area when I ran into the NPC named Victoria Watts, who gave me the android component and asked me to tell Dr. Zimmer that the android was dead and that proof of its death would be the android component that she gave me. However, I did NOT give the component to Dr. Zimmer and tell him that the android was dead as Victoria asked me to do. I intended to follow the rest of your guide as per your video.

I wonder if talking with Victoria Watts and getting the android component changed the dialogue options from Dr. Preston? As a result, I was not given his holotape. I was very frustrated, but I continued the quest anyways. I went to Pinkerton's lab in the submerged fore section of Rivet City, and spoke with him. Surprisingly, he still gave me the information and proof that Harkness is the android. I then found Harkness and told him that he was the android, and then asked him for permission to kill Dr. Zimmer. He gave me the A3-21 plasma rifle and permission to kill Dr. Zimmer (which gave me positive Karma). I then when to Dr. Zimmer and told him that Harkness was the android and showed him the proof that Pinkerton provided me. Dr. Zimmer then rewarded me with the Wired Reflexes perk. I then killed Dr. Zimmer's android guard and Dr. Zimmer (which gave me Zimmer's key, etc.). So in the end, I received both the A3-21 plasma rifle and the Wired Reflex perk, but I achieved it in a different manner than you did. I wanted to share this in case that it is helpful to others.
Thanks for your detailed steps. It's lovely to see that you were able to get the same rewards with slightly different steps. It is interesting to see how speaking to an NPC changed the course but same results.
Very cool walkthrough. Fully watched and liked. Have a great day.
Thank you so much CFG, I really appreciate your support 👍
Wow, double crossing! I never knew you had it in you!!😝 Great guide buddy!😊
Dr Zimmer likes to enslave robots and I happen to have a thing to robots. Not on my watch buddy 😄. Thanks so much for watching and supporting my video bud.
@@TrappedInFallout🤨
When I was about to reach Pinkerton's place where the door to the nuka cola thingy was I explode💀
The whole area is filled with fumes so yes it can explode sadly. Do make sure to hit the switch and you should be able to just go inside.
I wasn't able to get anything from either doctor. The only holotape I've found so far is the one in the church at Rivet City. Supposed to be one in the docs office at Megaton and in docs office in Rivet City but nope, not there, supposed to be one in Craterside but none there. Will check the bus next...
Sorry to hear that. Yeah the clues should be on the bus and you should be good to go after that.
I did this quest multiple times in order to get both rewards. Greedy little me wasn't happy with just one or the other. Very helpful walkthrough. IIRC I'm pretty sure it was asking Moira Brown about the legend of the android that started the quest for me.
Thanks Hoody, it's an excellent way to get both rewards which is great. The weapon you get is actually a very powerful one and the extra from Zimmer helps too. It's also a nice bonus getting to keep Harnkness, I do like him and opt to always keep him around. When I think about it, doing this quest perhaps should have resulted in him being a companion.
@@TrappedInFallout Agreed about Harkness as a companion. Imagine being able to perform upgrades on him as well ha ha.
@@bghoody5665 That actually sounds really cool. In FO4, you can do something very similar to an actual companion so why not give Harkness some cool upgrades.
How did you restart the quest ? How do you did it multiple times?
@@mehreen7620 By multiple times, I think BG meant on multiple playthroughs.

Hey Kev, thanks buddy for checking out my video in its entirety, that's was really awesome of you. I really hope that you enjoyed this one and found it useful. It's one of my personal favourite ones. I like Harkness and not a big fan of Zimmer so I had some personal pleasure recording and editing this one ha ha. Thanks again Kev 👍
@@TrappedInFallout do you know the girl/lady who asked u to liberate the android? Do we get to get rewards outta her?
@@KevTarot Sadly I don't think you get anything from her. She is simply a messenger of sorts and does not reward you for your efforts, or rather none that I know off.
I'm doing another play thru right now in 2025! I never thought of collecting and killing! Thank you!
No problem at all, wish you lots of fun. Let me know how it goes.
There’s a much simpler way to get both rewards though:
-If you tell Harken he should go with Zimmer and then pass the more difficult speech check, he will give you the weapon and ask you to tell Zimmer to take him back to the Commonwealth. Speaking with Zimmer will get you the perk.
I’m even incline to think this was intended as the canon ending of the quest, as EpicNate later found out that leftover files in FO4 indicate that early during development, Zimmer was supposed to appear in that game.
Add that to the fact that the aforementioned outcome in FO3 grants both rewards without any exploits and I’m confident to say that such was the outcome Bethesda originally intended for.
That's really interesting, and it's not an option I had entertained before. I will have a look myself and see how it all plays out. Your right, from a early development point of view it may have been the case.
Zimmerman only gave me 50 fucking caps. So i turned him and his bodyguard into goo
Seems like a fair trade, maybe next time he won't be so......oh wait.
You should have done a tutorial on how to exit that underwater ship as well, it was extremely difficult
In hindsight I probably should have, yes. It's easy enough to exit. Trace your steps back or you can use the door that you see to your left as soon as you leave his office which leads right outside the ship.
Mashallah Mashallah dear zabardast post Keep it up wonderful sharing well done 👏 ✔ beautiful 😍 super game i love it really amazing post ❤
Thank you so much Fatima for your lovely words, it was a great comment to read. I hope that you are well.
Thank you this was very helpful.
No problem at all, many thanks for checking out my guide and for your comment.
I truly think that the best outcome is that Harkness never finds out about his past… I mean can you imagine the strain of having two memories to deal with every waking moment one memory that’s your own and another that’s not and is someone’s else’s. I think Harkness says it all when you tell him he gos “my life’s a lie” you can hear the pain in his voice. So the most moral choice is to tell Zimmer that he’s dead and give him the chip as proof.
That's a great view, thanks for sharing. From a moral point of view I agree. Taking that view or steps certainly helps. However, how about this view. Ignoring the rewards, if he knows would be not better protect him self as others may come looking for him after Dr Zimmer? It's a very interesting thought process.
@@TrappedInFalloutwouldn’t it be funny if you betrayed Harkness anyway after taking both rewards
@@rylandsmathieux8076 It's something I 'may' have done once upon a time during an 'evil' playthrough......
Am I missing something? The hollotapes were not at the Megaton clinic or at Nathan and Manya's home.
I think they may not always spawn which naturally does not help. Try restarting your game and see if that helps. You may even need to load up an old save file sadly. As long as your triggering the relevant dialogues things should spawn.
How to I enter the room at 06:00 without blowing up? UPDATE: I just fired a bullet in the stairwell it ignited the gas which removes the trap.

Preston did t have any option to talk about an android. There was no holotape on the table in the blue house
Sounds like something went wrong. It should be there, at least the tape as it's not tied to anything. I would reset the game and try again to see if it works.
The V.A.T.S system is not working after finished this Quest, all weapons are 0% chance of hitting. Any idea why this happend ?
Sorry to hear that, it's not one I have heard of before. I can only suggest you reload a previous save file or reset your game and see if that helps.
Just did this for the first time, thanks

I cant get to thr dr pinkerton office, and said that it was actived from other side, is it a bug or something ?
The switch to the door is literally on the opposite wall to the door. It throw me off too when I first encountered it as I was a little confused. Basically walk up to the door, turn around and walk to the opposite wall. The switch is on that wall.
@@TrappedInFallout thank you dude
@@Ozexoo No problem at all, hope it helped.
Well shit ! I have already done this quest and got NEITHER of the rewards. Wish I knew you had made this video MO. Is there any way I can get the rewards now? Even just one of them?? Thanks
You can get the weapon if you have Harkness still around and followed the dialogue options shown in the video. Same for Zimmer. But if they have boy walked away then sadly not since the moment they walk away they don't appear in the game anymore.
@@TrappedInFallout Yup they've both gone. Thanks for the reply anyway
No worries, maybe one for the next playthrough.
Good to know that! Thanks dude
No problem at all Neverrl, happy that my video helped.
The way Harkness stood there holding the gun always in the same position and another female security guard behind him was leaning against the wall resting like a normal human being. His behavior already denounced somehow that he was not a normal human.
That's a good observation. When you eventually find out about Harkness, observing his behaviour can at times lead one to see how he can be a little different from normal. At the same time would someone with a similar background behave identically, I'm not too sure myself. I'll be honest, it's not something I thought about before, good eye.
He is a guard standing on duty so no that’s no abnormal lol
Thanks now I will remember the steps
Thanks Jay, I hope that this video helps you out for your next playthrough. Thanks for checking out my video.
Great video thank you!
No problem at all - I am happy that my guide helped.
Fun Fact: I Blew Up Megaton 💀
Ouch, well there are plenty of other clues around the wasteland so your not out of luck just yet. That said, I did too one, never did again after that playthrough.
I dont go that route but ridiculously i just randomly do some sidequest in super duper marker, hit on kid, led me to another Doc then give me instruction directly to pinkerton
That's sounds really cool. I have to say I've not had that experience myself. Near the Super Duper Mart you say, will need to try it out myself.
So whats the point of the option? I just did this quest and the drs wouldn't do the dialog for the optional part. I just went to plinkerton and got all the information from him and still got the gun so im very confused
The door to pinkerton’s office says “this door is activated elsewhere”
I’m retarded.
Hey Donald Duck, if the door does not open automatically then there is a switch directly opposite the door, it looks like a large yellow box of sorts. If you press the switch then the door should open. I hope that this answers your question. Many thanks for watching and commenting.
So I got both endings by telling on harkness. Not sure what’s going to come from that but I got both rewards so that’s kewl
You get an almost god tier weapon and an increase to your VATS. But you can take out Zimmer also and I think this does prevent from Harkness disappearing.
thank you for this
No problem at all, I'm happy that it helped.
Dr Zimmer and his body guard had android components on them i think they were synths too and also what do you do with the dr zimmer keys you find on their corpse
Yeah it basically confirms that they are both Androids or synths. The keys you get allows you to unlock his bedroom and safe which is located on the very top deck in Rivit City. It's worth going and exploring to find out what's there. Last time I looked, just some basic stuff.
@@TrappedInFallout Thank You!!
@@lucassmoke6076 Np problem at all Lucas, thanks for checking out my video and for your question 👍
Pinkerton is needed for part of the Wasteland Survival Guide quest (History of Rivet City), so if you get to him via the underwater route (which bypasses the need for 100 lockpick to open the front door that's at the end of the metal walkway), make sure you go to the front door and use the switch on the wall to unlock it permanently 👍
Tha KS for sharing your advice, I really appreciate it. I personally use the underwater route as I don't tend to have 100 in lockpicking that early on in the game.
@@TrappedInFallout Yes, but if you go to the door after doing the underwater thing and use the switch on the wall, it will open the door permanently so you can always go in the easy way and don't need 100 lockpick 👍
@@iraceruk ah I see what you mean now, thanks for that. I should have mentioned that in my guide, if I ever do an update then I certainly will at the time.
What if I already blew up mega ton?
There are some other clues around. There are some in random encounters, the merchants and I think some around Rivit City also.
Great video thanks 🎉
No problem at all, thanks so much for your feedback.
It says to talk to doc Preston (Optional) and he won’t tell me about the android even after everything I’ve done
This could be due to the game essentially trying to catch-up. You can try waiting or sleeping in a bed and seeing if that helps. Altenatively you can find other clues all around the wasteland that would also lead to you being able to uncover Harkness via the NPC inside the sunken part of Rivit City.
@@TrappedInFallout thanks man you are so helpful but I already figured out thanks for the help though 👍
@@TrappedInFallouti gonna try this, be right back ☺️
@@UseCodeMob what is the solutions bro, i got same isuse. Pls answer :(((
I already know this trick, I always do it this way because it kinda feels like a movie scene
Hey Zoie, thanks for your comment. I know the feeling. It does feel very 'spy' and mission critical. Really it's just exploiting the pick pocket mechanics and for once you don't have to choose as you can get both with a little trick.
@@TrappedInFallout for me I just start the quest with Zimmer, then I warn harknes, then tell him I'll help him and do the one where he gives me his plasma rifle and then I go tell Zimmer where his android is and right after he gives me the perk I delete both of them. So easy so fast
@@I-AM-EL-ZOZO Holy, that's incredible. I did not know about that path, really it's as quick as that. I will have to check that out for myself.
@@I-AM-EL-ZOZO But that said when you go and speak to Harkness, at that point with no clues how do you know that he is the android?
@@TrappedInFallout I think there's just one major holotape to find the one that reveals both his name and location, or at least the before and after pics of him
Can you loot Zimmer and the bodyguard? Anything useful?
Once you 'take care of them' yes.
What do you do if you blew up megaton. I got a few holotapes but i go to pinkerton and the dislogue is not on mine. Please help
If you have blown up Megaton you can still get some tapes but they are all located outside. I'm not sure where exactly but there are a few more across other towns etc. You also get some clues by random noc who approach you while outside.
After getting the reward do you have to kill Zimmer? Isn’t he an NPC tied to other quests?
Hey Obsidian Man, after completing the quest and getting his reward, to my knowledge he does not give any more quests or is tied to any. I basically toke him out because I wanted Harkness around. I hope this answers your question and thank you so much for asking. Stay safe Obsidian Man.

May have already been answered but does this work in TTW?
@Commander_Rane I'm not sure if that has been asked but it should work with TTW as its part of the base game and not reliant on any glitches or exploits. Just using standard game mechanics.
@ Thanks for the quick response! I only ask because I know some things have been patched out in that mod (like fixer doing what it’s actually supposed to) I will test and if I remember, report back here.
@Commander_Rane No problem at all and please do. It's not a question I remember anyone asking so knowing the answer to it would be helpful.
Regrettably, I dropped the ball and chose the wrong speech option and don’t have a recent enough save to revert to.
I received the unique plasma rifle but never found Zimmer again. I didn’t realize until I rewatched the video and identified my mistake. Unfortunately I can’t say for certain but I can ASSUME it still works in TTW. I apologize for an inconclusive effort.
@Commander_Rane That's ok, many thanks for checking and for getting back to me. It still good to know your findings.
If this girl from the railroad shows up and I talk to her, can I still get both rewards if I haven’t talked to Dr. Zimmer yet?
Yes, it should still be possible. Make sure to speak to Harkness first followed by Zimmer and make sure to take out Zimmer also (although you don't have to do that).
@@TrappedInFallout Thank you man, I am finally doing a play through of the series and your videos are helping make it 100X more fun.
I think they patched this method, i did everything you've done in the video, but when i try to kill zimmer, he won't die! Him and his bodyguard will only be unconcious and all rivet city will become hostile to me, at least i've got both of the rewards.
That's very interesting. He can not be taken out, not until you have finished with Harkness, but this is the first time I have heard that's still the case after completing the quest. Oh well, as long as you have both the rewards.
I tried following this video after making new characters over 12 times and never is the doctor unlock to talk about the android…i find it way easier/quicker going to megaton always 100% there
As long as you have it working then it's all good - is that the case?
@TrappedInFallout I always forget when Starting a new character 😆
And ur guides always my go to and i keep repeating same mistake again all 12 times 😄 🤣
I'm not joking
@@shawnlee5482 ha ha hopefully it all works out on your end.
I didnt get the speech option from Doc Church. Is there another go to?
There are some others but they are a little random. There is one where you basically walk around Megaton or Rivet City and at some point a random NPC shows up and talks to you about the whole situation. Other then that I don't recall at this time. I will have to check it out and give myself a refresher. You can try doing the other ones shown in the video and then try the doc again.

@MateoMartinez-d9w No problem at all.
Does Harkness say something different than the video when asked about Zimmer? Bcuz i don't remember having the options in the video. But, yeah, got the rifle, got the perk, killed Zimmer then got Rivet police turn on me.
I'm not entirely sure. With this quest I tend to play it out the way I showed in the video so I am not entirely sure if any vastly different dialogue options. But yeah, as long as you have the relevant rewards then it should be good.
I alredy told him he was already destroyed. Where do I find him back?
Sadly I don't think there is a way back if you have already told him that Harkness has been destroyed.

@@TrappedInFallout I talked to Dr. Zimmer to get the upgrade, then I immediately shot him with the plasma rifle
What happens if you blow up megaton before doing this quest
Megaton contains some of those vital clues so that you can then fish for the good Doctor on the other side of Rivet city. That said, if you blow up Megaton then you will have to find the clues in other locations around the wasteland. Off the top of my head I can't think of any but I do know for sure that there are other clues around the wasteland that you can get to continue with the questline.
bro great guide but at 6.10 how do you open that door
The switch for the door is on the opposite wall to the door. Go to the door, turn around by 180 and it should be in the wall opposite. It's like a big red button.
It was probably open for me from a previous run.
@TrappedInFallout your a legend
@jackbandey8410 ha ha thanks, I assume you managed to open the door?
I never knew you could get both
Yeap, it's actually a smart move when you think about it. Getting both and yet getting to keep Harkness and booting Zimmer.
I don’t have the tape in Nathan house. Nor I have found it.. Is it glitched?
It might be. Sometimes items do not spawn or sometimes they simply get knocked over by other NPCs and then kicked about. You can try reloading an old save file to see of you still have it in an earlier part of the game.
You technically don't have to kill Dr Zimmer. Just talk to him and tell him you've found the android and he will give you your reward. Once he walks away you can choose to let him take Harkness back to the Institute or kill him to prevent that from happening. Either way you get both rewards.
Hey Gamer Gremlin, your absolutely right. Given that I have both the rewards there really is no need to take out the doctor at the end. In the end I decided to take out Dr Zimmer as I did want Harkness around. But you raise a good point, thank you for sharing that with me my friend.

He should be there but if he is not then it's not a total loss as he is just one source of getting some clues to then trigger the remaining of the dialogue options with Harkness etc. You can go and find some of the other clues and that should do it.
can i go rivet city ? first i needs find all holotapes
Technically you can go and hunt for all the holotapes if you like before going to Rivet City. But I would suggest you go to Rivet City first and activate the quest to reduce any possible bugs which happen. I hope this answers your question.
I never did anything after speaking to zimmer and receiving the upgrade. Am I still able to get the rifle or is it long gone now?
Most likely not. After you talk to Zimmer, he finds and takes Harkness away therefore sadly taking away your chance to get the weapon.
