Updated on July 08, 2025, by Ritwik Mitra:With the success of the Fallout TV series, it’s easy to see why so many people are intrigued about this and want to understand what makes this game so special. While Bethesda may not have a new Fallout game everyone would’ve loved, the next-gen update of Fallout 4 is certainly something that is bound to engage most fans. It gives players another reason to jump into this world and explore the Commonwealth, even if this update has its issues that Bethesda still has to iron out. Regardless, players will love the many memorable quests present in this title, including one that lets the Sole Survivor masquerade as a vigilante in Goodneighbor.
Starting The Quest
The First Step To Help Players Become A Legend In Goodneighbor
to initiate the “Silver Shroud” quest, gamers will need to listen to the Silver Shroud radio inGoodneighbor, which is a section of Boston. Even if players haven’t tuned into the radio, they need only go to the relevant location to kickstart the quest’s beginning anyway. Goodneighbor is just to the northeast of the Boston Commons. Eventually, the quest will be added to the quest log.
The first step in the quest is to travel to the Memory Den in Goodneighbor. Players will want to look out for the large Scollay SQ sign that denotes the building. Once inside, gamers will need to speak with an NPC named Kent Connolly.
The Silver Shroud
Learn About This Mysterious Vigilante
Connolly is in the Memory Den reliving old memories, one of which was listening to “The Silver Shroud VS Captain Cosmos”. He wasan unfortunate victim of radiation burnsand will speak with players about his memories, struggles, and plans to make a positive impact on the Goodneighbor settlement.
Connoly’s principal plan is to revive the Silver Shroud as a symbol of justice. He will reveal that he has already re-created the machine gun and now just needs the genuine Silver Shroud outfit. To continue the quest, players will need to make their way through the dialogue and promise to help. Kent is the nicest NPC in the game and many will feel obligated to help the poor soul out.
The next step is to find Hubris Comics, one of the last locations where the Silver Shroud was filmed.
Hubris Comics
Get The Silver Shroud Costume
The comics store is located to the south of the Amphitheatre and due west of Swan’s Pond. The store can blend into the surrounding buildings, so people will want to look out for the Unstoppables! billboard on the outside of the shop. The Name “Hubris” is in graffiti above the door.
Players will find the photoshoot set up on the third floor. There, the costume will be hanging from a Manikin. Gamers will also want to pick up the submachine gun prop on the top floor for Kent. Because Kent is a kind soul, people will want to grab the Silver Shroud photo next to the second-floor display case and the script on the third floor.
Now that players are done doing the busywork, they can get into the meat of what is easilythe most entertaining part of this quest by a country mile.
The Silver Survivor
Fight Against The Injustices Faced By The People In Goodneighbor
After returning to Kent with the items, he will be overjoyed. Sole survivors who picked up all four items will be given more bottlecaps as a result. Kent will admit that he is not Shroud material and suggest that the player wear the outfit and rid the city of crime. Gamers should accept his offer to be the Shroud and they will receive the armor, as well as the next step in the quest.
The Silver Should Armor has 42/42 resistance and reduces human damage by 15 percent. Kent will want gamers to respond when he reports crimes on the radio station and make sure to leave a calling card after each suspect is killed. It’s a fun way to make crime-fighting a blast while also making the most ofFallout 4’s gameplay systems.
Wayne Delancy And AJ
Take Care Of A Murderer And A Drug Dealer
The first target of the Silver Shroud is Wayne Delancy. Kent accuses him of murdering a woman and her child. Delancy can be found at the back of Hotel Rexford. If spoken to, Delancy will admit to committing the murder. People can choose how they wish to serve vigilante justice as long as he is killed and a calling card is left on his dead body. Choosing the intimidate as Shroud option will make for hilarious dialogue, especially as a female character.
After tuning into the radio, Kent will reveal the next target — AJ, a suspected drug dealer in the city. The NPC can be found in an alleyway near Bobbi No-Nose’s hideout. AJ and his two bodyguards will offer a bribe, which can be accepted with a high enough persuasion level. True vigilantes will take him and his two minions out, leaving the calling card behind.
Tracking Down Kendra
Kill This Infamous Gun-For-Hire
Shroud’s third target is Kendra, whose location is unknown. Gamers will need to visit the Third Rail and speak with Whitechapel Charlie to get a general idea of her location. Charlie will tell players that she can be found south of Goodneighbor in the Water Street Apartments.
There will be a few Raiders on the bottom floors protecting Kendra. Additionally, there will be a trap at the top of the stairs, so survivors will need to walk through the doorway to the right on the top floor or they will be blown up by rigged explosives or killed by a mounted machine gun turret. Silver Shroud must then kill Kendra, drop the card, andawait instructions from Hancock.
John Hancock’s Orders
Eliminate Sinjin’s Men
Hancock will request that Shroud eliminate Smiling Kate and Northy, puppets of the depraved Sinjin. Smiling Kate can be found in Bunker Hill, and Northy has a home in Prospect Hill. Kate will be in the street surrounded by her guards near Bunker Hill. Northy is located on the second floor of a destroyed two-story building in Prospect Hill.
The Sole Survivor will need to pay both of them a visit and leave the Shroud calling card after the job is done. This job may seem fairly simple, but it’s what follows that is easily one of the toughest parts of the quest and not something that players should take lightly. To preserve their sanity, players should make a save at this moment if they want this quest to end with a near-perfect conclusion.
Saving Kent
The Toughest Part Of The Quest
The next time the Silver Shroud Tunes into the radio, gamers will hear the sound of Kent being abducted by one of Sinjin’s minions. Sinjin will threaten the life of Kent unless the Shroud appears at Milton General Hospital. After entering the Hospital, Sinjin will immediately initiate dialogue with the character.
This leads to one of the most challenging moments in the quest. For the best resolution,players must keep Kent alive here. This is easier said than done. Most dialogue options lead to Sinjin and his goons becoming aggressive, focusing their attacks on Kent before targeting the Sole Survivor. Even if players manage to pacify the group, it’s imperative to kill Sinjin as soon as possible before he can use his powerful weapon to turn Kent into mincemeat.
Threatening as the Shroud here is the best method to keep Kent alive. After a couple of threats, Sinjin’s guards will turn on him and he will be an easy headshot using V.A.T.S. The entire experience will scare off Kent, who decides to throw in the towel as a crime-fighting report line operator. Gamers should speak with Hancock, who will offer more bottle caps and a few funny one-liners as well.
Special Delivery For The Shroud
If survivors tune in to the radio after the quest is complete, Kent will request to see them. As a reward for the help, Kent will offer to improve the Silver Shroud Armor. The upgraded armor will have an additional 15 damage resistance with the same 15%special armor effect, making the visit worthwhile.
Suffice it to say, this interaction won’t occur if Kent dies during the faceoff against Sinjin. This makes it all the more important to keep Kent alive during this faceoff, which can be incredibly frustrating for some players to deal with.
