Shock Value Shock Value is a " Fallout 3 " quest and achievement that is added to the game in the " Broken Steel " add - on . Detailed walkthrough . Talk to Paladin Tristan . Right after completing Death From Above the Lone Wanderer is told to talk to Paladin Tristan in the Citadel . Tristan briefs them on their next mission , which is to retrieve a pre - War experimental device called a Tesla coil from the remains of Olney Powerworks . The scribes need the coil to finish a little surprise for the Enclave : the Tesla cannon . ( Optional ) Use Enclave - controlled deathclaws to the Lone Wanderer ' s advantage . If Tristan is asked for a little help , he tells the Lone Wanderer to talk to Scribe Vallincourt in the Citadel laboratory . She offers a deathclaw control scrambler which allows the Lone Wanderer to " hijack " Enclave - controlled deathclaw s so long as they are within range of an Enclave transmitter . Southeast of Old Olney is an Enclave camp where the controller can be tested . All that must be done is to unlock the deathclaw cage and let it kill the Enclave soldiers . One can also sneak up the nearby collapsed bridge and get within range of the deathclaw and watch it attack the Enclave soldiers . Often times , until the Lone Wanderer enters the Olney sewers , the ' completed ' notification for this ( optional ) task will not appear , and the marker will stay on the radar . Find the ruins of Olney Powerworks . Upon arrival at Olney , bringing up the local map on the Pip - Boy will show the entrance to the sewer . Once inside the sewer , find the ladder which leads to Old Olney underground . Arriving there , the Lone Wanderer is greeted by the ghouls Wint and Kidd who are the last survivors of a group of ghouls which tried to establish a settlement here - a plan the deathclaws apparently did not approve of . The ghouls leave after conversing with the Lone Wanderer , deducing that it ' s safe to leave the way they came . From here on , the way to Olney Powerworks is pretty linear . Navigating the deathclaw - infested Old Olney underground , one will find Wint ' s and Kidd ' s dead comrades , like Badger , Connelly , Dunbar , Carl and Sanders , and eventually reach a door to Old Olney S . Wilson Building . In the building there are a couple of Enclave soldiers and a door on the second level ( behind two Enclave soldiers ) that leads to Olney Powerworks . Find a Tesla coil . The old power plant is guarded by sentry bots which can be deactivated from a couple of security terminal s . One can take the short way by going through a door on their left after entering the area , and then hacking the Very Hard terminal there , or take the long way by veering to the right . Either way , one will eventually reach the room with the Tesla coil , which is inside the bright electrical chamber . Removing the coil while the power is on will cause a large amount of damage . To acquire the Tesla coil without power damage , jump down into the Tesla coil chamber , enter the adjacent room , and use the Hard terminal to shut off the power . Then go back into the chamber and remove the Tesla coil from its base . Another way to sustain less damage is to jump into the Tesla coil chamber and activate the three emergency switches inside the chamber . One will still receive a shock , but it is not as harmful . If skill level prevents access to the shutdown switch , throwing a few pulse grenades into the chamber will knock out the power and allow access to the three switches . Take the Tesla coil to Paladin Tristan . Once done , a nearby ladder leads out to a street north of Old Olney . Here one is likely to be greeted by a couple of deathclaws , and upon defeating them one can fast travel back to the Citadel . Hand the coil over to Tristan and receive the next assignment , Who Dares Wins . Bugs . Sentry bots in the old power plant , once shut down from the consoles , can still be seen moving in place .
