Fallout 4 Cappy In A Haystack Quest Guide And Cappy Locations
The Cappy in a Haystack quest in the Fallout 4 Nuka-World DLC offers players an engaging scavenger hunt across the theme park's diverse zones. Initiated by talking to Sierra Petrovita in Nuka-Town USA, this side quest tasks players with locating ten hidden Cappy images painted throughout the park. Successfully finding every clue unveils secret lore and unlocks valuable rewards tied to the founder of Nuka-Cola.
Starting the Quest and Equipping Cappy Glasses
To begin the quest, travel to Nuka-Town USA and speak with Sierra Petrovita. She will give you a special pair of Cappy Glasses that must be equipped to view the hidden wall art. Without wearing these specialized glasses, the hidden Cappy images remain completely invisible to the player.
If you prefer wearing Power Armor, remember that you must unequip your helmet to wear the required eyewear. Once equipped, keep an eye out for glowing patterns on walls throughout each sector of Nuka-World.
Finding Cappys in Nuka-Town USA and Galactic Zone
In Nuka-Town USA, head near the central fountain area and locate the wall behind the stage structures to spot your first image. In the Galactic Zone, two Cappys await exploration near high-tech attractions. One is tucked under the stairs near Star Control, while another is positioned near the top ramp of the Spacewalk attraction.
Searching these areas requires caution, as hostile robots often patrol the Galactic Zone paths. Clearing nearby threats makes examining walls for hidden clues much easier.
Exploring Kiddie Kingdom, Dry Rock Gulch, and Safari Adventure
Over in Kiddie Kingdom, one Cappy rests inside a red door room within the Funhouse spinning floor area, while another is located inside the ruined tower near King Cola's Castle. Dry Rock Gulch features a clue behind a tombstone in the small graveyard and another painted inside Mad Mulligan's Mine. Safari Adventure holds two clues: one hidden in the hedge maze near the Primate House and another behind the large gorilla statue.
The final Cappy can be discovered along the riverbank path inside the World of Refreshment bottling plant. Interacting with all ten clues completes the search phase of Sierra's quest.
Unlocking Bradburton's Vault and Quest Rewards
Return to Sierra after finding all ten clues to synthesize the code and gain entry to John-Caleb Bradburton's hidden office vault. Inside, players face a moral choice regarding the fate of Nuka-Cola's original creator. Depending on your decisions, you can acquire the unique Nuka-Nuke Launcher weapon or the Nuka-World jumpsuit.
Clever players can even secure both unique rewards by carefully managing their interaction with the vault generator. This quest combines rich Fallout lore with rewarding exploration for every Wasteland traveler.
