Defend the Castle

[Stargazer09]

This is the 3rd time I'm re-doing this quest. Not that it's super difficult, but no matter how careful I am trying to target only enemy synths, the settlement eventually goes red on me by the end of the quest.

Is there a way to do this without having all of them aggro on me by the end of the quest?

I don't use explosives, including mines, grenades, and explosive ammo. I use VATS most of the time to target only those I want to shoot at. And yet it appears there are some stray bullets that eventually turns my own guys red on me.

Hmm, never happened to me, so no idea. Maybe your companion shot someone?

[Stargazer09]

Could be. I was using Ada tricked out with a gatling laser and a shishkebab attachment plus the head mounted laser you find on assaultrons.

Anyway I got around this by ducking into the Castle tunnels, slept there for 2 whole days and a bit, and when I went back topside everyone was back to normal. Only the synth & coursers corpses within the walls of the castle were available for looting though, those that were killed outside the castle walls had disappeared.

 

Edit: But it was a fun battle though :)

Well, a bit outside the scope of this talk, but I'd put two gatlings on Ada, since she CAN fire them at the same time. Also, the assaultron heads are really heads for a melee robot, so their accuracy at a range is atrocious. I only use either Mr Handy body or a Robobrain head, both of which have the same top accuracy and range.

When I played this mission the first time, after I had beaten off the attack, I was attacked by some of my settlers, but it was only the synth ones that I didn't know about. After I killed them everything was ok.

There is. Don't shoot and let your defenders do all the work while you concentrate on repairing damaged assets. Alternatively, only use VATS to lign up shots. That way you make sure only to fire on what's supposed to be red. And never, never place any mine fields. Mines are the most useless addition in that game. They mostly go off when friendlies step on them. That was my way of the castle going red on me. I placed mine fields at the entrances and next thing I knew, three settlers were lying in their blood and the rest was hostile.
