How to Abandon a Quest in Fallout 76
To cancel quests, players should press the Menu button, go to the Journal, hover over the unwanted mission, and select “Abandon the Quest.” The cancelation button is in the quest options, which can be seen by pressing the Y button on Xbox or Triangle on PlayStation.
It’s important to note that there’s no way to abandon the main quests inFallout 76. The method only works for side missions and miscellaneous tasks that do not affect the story.
To restart an abandoned quest, players simply need to repeat the process that first initiated it. Ifan NPC offered the quest, players should talk to them again. If the task popped up at a specific location, they’ll need to revisit the area.
Abandoning side quests inFallout 76won’t allow save-scumming. Once a mission is canceled, its entire progress is removed and must be repeated to earn the rewards.
