The Institute is a faction you can join in Fallout 4 (FO4). See all the Institute quests, members, rewards, and locations below!
List of Contents
After completing Synth Retention, you'll get your own personal quarters in the Institute. There's not much you can do here, but you can use the toilet and your bed to pass time.
You can also find two Institute Jumpers inside your own quarters. You can wear one yourself and give the other to your companion to help them fit in at the Institute!
You can also get Synth Relay Grenades during the Battle of Bunker Hill from X4-18 by passing a Charisma check. Use these to summon a synth anywhere to help you in combat.
After completing Nuclear Family, you'll unlock the Institute Paint Mod for the X-01 Power Armor. Simply head to any power armor garage to change the paint job of your X-01 Power Armor!
Along with the Institute Paint Mod, you'll unlock the Orange Institute Division Head Coat, which you can find on the second floor of the director's quarters. Make sure to speak to Allie Filmore first to spawn this clothing.
You will also receive Father's Lab Coat after completing Nuclear Family. Simply talk to Allie Filmore before heading to the quarters to get it.

X6-88 is a synth and an Institute member who becomes a possible companion as you progress through Mankind Redefined. You'll first meet him in Synth Retention, where he aids you in reclaiming Gabriel in Libertalia.
