Ride the Vertibird

After completing Precipice of War, board the Vertibird with Deacon and Tinker Tom and make your way towards the Prydwen.

Along the way, Tinker Tom will give you the Brotherhood of Steel uniform. Wear it to disguise yourself and prevent any potential confrontation once you land on the Prydwen.

Reach the Prydwen Main Deck

Upon exiting the Vertibird, take the path to the right and enter the Command Room. You may encounter some Brotherhood personnel, so try to strike up a conversation with them to avoid suspicion.

Once inside, don't take the stairs directly in front of you. Instead, use the ladder, as this will take you up to the main deck.

Plant the Explosives

When you reach the main deck, take the stairs on the left and climb up to the third floor. You'll find a large walkway with circular structures with arches. In the middle of these are red panels where you need to plant the explosives on. Simply interact with them to install the explosives.

All three targets are in the same walkway. Install them as quickly as possible to avoid any confrontations, especially if you're approaching the mission stealthily.

Escape the Prydwen

After securing the explosives, head back by taking the same path to exit the Prydwen and rush back to the Vertibird. Board it and wait for Deacon and Tinker Tom to fly away to safety as the Prydwen explodes.

Report Back to Desdemona

Complete the quest by reporting back to Desdemona, who will reward you with 1000 Bottlecaps and the Railway Rifle Long Barrel.
