Tapping The Grid – Starfield Miscellaneous Mission Walkthrough

“Tapping the Grid” is a Miscellaneous Mission in Starfield that starts with the Activity: “Investigate the Brown-Outs in the Well.” There are two access points to get to the Well. There is an elevator behind the Jameson Mercantile Shop in the Starport District and there is also an elevator in the NAT station below the MAST.

At the Well, look for Louisa Reyez to start the mission.
