Minutemen Rewards

The Sanctuary Settlement

By joining the Minutemen, you gain access to the Sanctuary settlement, which happens to be in your hometown. From here, you can do plenty of things, from growing crops to sleeping to pass time, and even crafting weapons.

Sanctuary Walkthrough

Flare Gun

You can also get the Flare Gun after completing the First Step, which is the first radiant quest you'll receive from the Minutemen. The Flare Gun is more of a tool than a weapon, as it shoots a smoke signal to gather nearby Minutemen to help you in combat.

The Castle Settlement

After completing Taking Independence, you'll receive the Castle as one of your rewards. It functions as a settlement, but also as the main headquarters of the Minutemen.

Radio Freeman

Along with the Castle, you'll also unlock Radio Freedom, which allows you to gain access to a couple more quests for the Minutemen.

Artillery Piece

Once you complete Old Guns, you'll also receive the schematics for the Artillery Piece, a special defense tool that fires missiles at designated areas. You can build this in all the settlements you establish.

Old Guns Walkthrough

Short Automatic Laser Musket
