Tune your Pip-Boy Radio to “Transmitter Signal” to track the guards
At the start of Strength in Numbers, open your Pip-Boy and go to the Radio tab then select Transmitter Signal.
Use the signal to find Duchess’s guards
Travel slightly northeast to the search area.
Search the area for clues to the whereabouts of Duchess’s guards
Search the Scorched Corpses to find the Gauley Mine Production Log.
Search Gauley Mine for Duchess’s guards
Head north a short ways to find Gauley Mine then proceed inside. Work your way through the mine until you hear someone shout for help.
Speak to the wounded man
For this Strength in Numbers objective, speak to Sol, who will need a Stimpak.
Find Polly
Continue heading deeper into the mine until you run across Polly’s head (she will speak to you!). Activate it to trigger a dialog scene.
Wipe out the Scorched
To use the head, hit the reload button (square) then pull the trigger and fire away as you move towards the exit of the mine!
Return to Duchess
With all the Scorched wiped out, exit the mine and return to the Wayward.
Draw “Polly’s Assaultron Head”
Equip Polly’s head.
Place Polly in the moonshine jug
Interact with the moonshine jug.
Attach Sol’s transmitter to a pristine Assaultron body
Travel south to Summersville to find a store called Duncan & Duncan Robotics. Interact with the green door behind the rubble to enter the store. Once inside, activate the Entrance Card Reader to the right of the door. Work your way through the area until you come across a robot called Skinner. Speak with it. If you play along and say that your a spirit, you will be unable to access the Assaultron unless you have a level 3 Lockpicking skill.
(Optional) Attach Sol’s transmitter to any pristine robot
Alternatively, you can investigate the body of a Pristine Protectron. This is a safe option in comparison to the Mr. Handy upstairs.
Return to the Wayward
Head back to the Wayward!
Speak with Polly
Go ahead and speak with her! This will complete the Strength in numbers quest and begin The Elusive Crane quest!
