Заметка «Ответы к экзамену на должность топ-менеджера» появляется только в Fallout 76.
Не всегда работает принцип пришел, увидел, победил. Чтобы пройти квест Золотая жила в Fallout 76 придется хорошенько подумать головой. В данной статье вы узнаете о терминале Пенни, как пройти тест и получить пропуск топ-менеджера, а также где найти ремонтный маячок.
Что делать?
Как и многие квесты начинаются с исследования многоэтажного здания, в котором вам предстоит первым делом отыскать нужную комнату и терминал. Для этого необходимо подняться на четвертый уровень, найти его не составит труда, так как все этажи здания пронумерованы. После того как вы подниметесь, найдите комнату с терминалом (она слева) и внимательно прочтите записи на нем.
После изучения всех записей вернитесь на третий уровень и найти терминал для найма сотрудников — там вам предложат пройти тест на должность топ-менеджера. При удачной сдачи теста, вы получите пропуск топ-менеджера, который потребуется позже. Чтобы долго не мучиться с прохождением теста, используйте данные виды ответов:
- «Свалить вину за происшедшее на агитаторов в местных профсоюзах».
- «Шантажировать их, чтобы получить больше информации».
- «Собрать компромат на политика, чтобы сбить цены».
- «Предложу им прибыльную работу, чтобы раскрыть их личности».
- «Передам информацию о предложении команде корпоративной разведки Хорнрайта».
Как видите, в компании знали толк в правильном руководстве. Хотя Fallout во многом пародирует и высмеивает недостатки нашего мира, в данных ответах можно увидеть лицо некоторые реальных руководителей…
Следующим шагом после сдачи теста, вы должны проследовать в соседнюю комнату, в которой находится принтер и забрать свой пропуск. После спускаемся на первый уровень и направляемся к лифту. При помощи пропуска запускаем лифт, который доставляет вас на этаж директора. Выйдя из лифта, поговорите с системой внешнего подключения. После этого идтие к исследовательскому терминалу, на котором прочитайтечетвертую запись, в которой находится нужный вам код.
После заберите ремонтный маячок, снова поговорить с системой внешнего подключения. Далее проходим в комнату где ранее нам преграждали путь лазеры. Проходим в лифт и спускаемся вниз. Устанавливаем ремонтный маячок на нужное место и ждем какое-то время. После чего получаете заслуженную награду за прохождение квеста Золотая жила в Fallout 76.
Прохождения квеста «Золотая жила» в Fallout 76
5 (100%) 1 vote
В Fallout 76 Золотая жила представляет собой один из квестов, в которых нужно хорошенько подумать головой, а не ворваться в локацию с железным дрыном наперевес и раздать на орехи всему, что подаёт признаки жизни. Причём написан он с долей здоровой сатиры — авторы явно старались высмеять современный мир, способы управления компанией и всё то, что, к сожалению, существует в реальности. И у их получилось! Поэтому, чтобы лишний раз улыбнуться, мы рекомендуем внимательно читать все тексты в ходе прохождения, несмотря на то, что мы укажем для вас все правильные ответы.
Для начала нужно забраться на 4-й этаж здания и найти там терминал, с которым и предстоит взаимодействовать. На этажах присутствуют таблички, так что заблудиться у вас вряд ли получится. Слева расположена комната, в которой и стоит искомый терминал, и для начала нужно ознакомиться с хранящимися в нём записями.
Следующий шаг: спуститесь этажом ниже, на третий уровень, и найдите другой терминал, некогда использовавшийся службой найма сотрудников. Видимо, компания давным-давно упразднила должность рекрутера, и вместо собеседования соискателям предлагалось сдать тест. Один из них и предстоит пройти нам, и в случае успешного его завершения вы получите должность топ-менеджера, а заодно и пропуск, который вам еще потребуется в дальнейшем. Вот список правильных ответов на вопросы:
- Свалить вину за происшедшее на агитаторов в местных профсоюзах.
- Шантажировать их, чтобы получить больше информации.
- Собрать компромат на политика, чтобы сбить цены.
- Предложу им прибыльную работу, чтобы раскрыть их личности.
- Передам информацию о предложении команде корпоративной разведки Хорнрайта.
Не напоминает реальный мир, нет? Сатира из квеста «Золотая жила», одного из самых забавных в Фоллаут 76, так и сочится. Как бы то ни было, после теста загляните в соседнюю комнату и заберите пропуск. Заполучив его, спускайтесь на первый этаж и идите к лифту. Он затребует пропуск, который у вас теперь есть, и, получив его, доставит вас на особый уровень, где некогда располагался кабинет директора. Побеседовав с системой, воспользуйтесь исследовательским терминалом и получите код. Забрав маячок и снова пообщавшись с системой, идите в помещение, куда раньше не получалось попасть из-за лазеров. После установки маячка на нужное место останется только пождать, и квест будет засчитан.

Несмотря на то, что курс обучения огнедышащих Fallout 76 проходили многие новички, у ряда игроков всё равно возникают вопросы по этому заданию, одному из самых длинных на начальном этапе игры. Строго говоря, сам квест называется «В огонь», а вышеупомянутый курс является лишь его частью. Запускается миссия автоматически, стоит вам впервые зайти в здание пожарной части в Чарлстоне. Наградой за неё является каркас силовой брони, который можно надеть на любом уровне (ограничения по минимальному уровню распространяются только на элементы силовой брони, а не на сам каркас), что уже даст отличные бонусы начинающему персонажу, только-только выбравшемуся из Убежища 76.
Для начала от игрока потребуют вступить в ряды огнедышащих, то есть пожарников. Правда, абы кого в огнеборцы не принимают, поэтому придётся пройти курс обучения огнедышащих, ответив на семь экзаменационных вопросов. Вот подробная таблица прохождения этого этапа квеста со всеми вопросами:
- «В туннель, по которому вы идете …» Ответ: Как можно скорее эвакуироваться.
- «В задымленном здании …» Ответ: Влажная тряпка.
- «Один из ваших товарищей …» Ответ: Аккуратно обвязать ожог чистыми бинтами.
- «Во время исследования …» Ответ: Немедленно отступить.
- «Один из ваших напарников …» Ответ: Пол литра очищенной воды, 2 пепельных розы, 2 гриба, 2 грязноцвета.
- «Вы наткнулись на группу горелых…» Ответ: Отступить и атаковать огнестрельным оружием с дальней дистанции.
- «Вам удалось …» Ответ: Прикончить его по возможности милосердно.
После сдачи теории потребуется пройти медосмотр, выйдя наружу и пробравшись сквозь руины вслед за квестовым маркером. Нужный терминал расположен на втором этаже, и он предложит очередной тест. Он представляет собой забег на время – нам даётся 2 минуты 53 секунды, чтобы добраться до нужной точки. Правда, составители древней программы явно не учитывали все произошедшие разрушения, что усложняет задачу. Обратный отсчёт начнётся после нажатия на кнопку рядом с терминалом, и прекратится после того, как будет нажата вторая кнопка на контрольной точке. После этого возвращаемся обратно, нажимаем первую кнопку ещё раз, возвращаемся к компьютеру и начинаем последний экзамен.
Забрав экзоскелет и поговорив с пожарным протектроном, прослушайте голозапись с инструкцией к последнему экзамену и отправляйтесь в шахту со странным названием «Отрыжка Бетти». Её облюбовали горелые, которые будут не очень рады визиту незваного гостя, но ничего не поделаешь – аварийный маячок, который необходимо включить, расположен глубоко в недрах шахты. После его включения возвращайтесь обратно, но имейте в виду, что по пути снова придётся стрелять, даже если вы уже всё зачистили – горелые не дремлют, и к ним подошло подкрепление.

Задание Золотая жила в Fallout 76 стартует с того, что нам требуется изучить большое здание, чтобы отыскать терминал Пенни. Для начала держите путь на четвертый этаж, пройдите в правые помещения, там и будет терминал, изучите записи. Справившись, спуститесь этажом ниже: на третьем этаже нас интересуют левые помещения с терминалом найма, там мы сможем обзавестись пропуском топ-менеджера, пройдя небольшое испытание. В рамках экзамена нужно последовательно давать такие ответы:
1) Свалить вину за происшедшее на агитаторов в местных профсоюзах;
2) Шантажировать их, чтобы получить больше информации;
3) Собрать компромат на политика, чтобы сбить цены;
4 )Предложу им прибыльную работу, чтобы раскрыть их личности;
5) Передам информацию о предложении команде корпоративной разведки Хорнрайта.
Теперь идите в помещение слева, заберите свой пропуск на принтере и идите на первый этаж, где нам нужен лифт. С помощью последнего поднимайтесь на этаж директора, там следуйте в помещение слева, говорим с системой внешнего подключения. После поднимитесь к исследовательскому терминалу, изучите четвертую запись и раздобудьте код для цифровой панели, заберите ремонтный маячок, переговорите с системой внешнего подключения, затем пройдите в помещения справа, где путь освободился от лазеров. Далее входим в лифт, на нем едем ниже, останется только разместить ремонтный маячок и дождаться награды.
