Discover two hidden missions in The Outer Worlds 2 that most players completely miss! In this walkthrough, Eric from Mature Minded Gamers (MMG) shows you exactly how to complete both Fairfield technician quests—helping Simmons and Artley—for some of the best early-game rewards, including a 24-damage stun baton, frag grenades, and a free armor mod.

These quests don’t appear in your journal, but they’re essential if you want to start strong in your playthrough. Follow this step-by-step guide to find the NPCs, complete both missions fast, and gear up before leaving Fairfield.
