Characteristics [ ]
Soon after throwing a vertibird signal grenade, a vertibird will appear on the horizon and track towards the Sole Survivor and land in the vicinity of the marked location, albeit not instantaneously. The player character can then board the aircraft to take control of its side-mounted minigun . Opening the Pip-Boy map and selecting a location to fast travel to will cause the vertibird to lift off and start flying to the selected location. When the vertibird has landed, the player character may exit or use the Pip-Boy map to select a different destination. Alternatively, the player character can change the destination mid-flight using the Pip-Boy map.
The grenade produces a vertical plume of orange smoke. The vertibird signal grenade can only summon a vertibird when used outside. They can be used initially only when the player character is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel . They may be used by non-Brotherhood members of the Minutemen or the Railroad only upon completion of their respective main questlines. Prior to the completing the main questline, former members of the Brotherhood can use any grenades still in their possession to summon vertibirds, but the vertibirds and occupants will be hostile, and it will not be possible to use the vertibird for fast travel.
If the Sole Survivor completes the Railroad's main questline, after a few days Drummer Boy in the Railroad HQ will say that the vertibird is ready for use, giving the Sole Survivor three signal grenades. He then informs the player character that more can be purchased from Tinker Tom . Similarly, grenades can be purchased from Ronnie Shaw if the Brotherhood are (optionally) destroyed as part of the Minutemen ending to the main questline.
Unlike normal vertibirds and their crew, the summoned vertibird and its pilot are immune to all forms of damage, and cannot be targeted in VATS or with a Recon scope. However the player character can be harmed and killed while in the vertibird.
Variants [ ]
- The Minutemen have two similar support items: flares and smoke grenades . The flare will signal for troops and the smoke grenades direct a strike from nearby artillery.
- The Institute has synth relay grenades to spawn synths.
Locations [ ]
- Eight are given by Elder Maxson as a reward for completing the quest Show No Mercy .
- Sold by Proctor Teagan aboard the Prydwen after completing Show No Mercy.
- Three are given by Drummer Boy upon completion of The Nuclear Option for the Railroad .
- Sold by Tinker Tom at the Railroad HQ after completing The Nuclear Option for the Railroad.
- Six are given by Preston Garvey after completing The Nuclear Option for the Minutemen , and upon destroying the Prydwen.
- Sold by Ronnie Shaw after completing The Nuclear Option for the Minutemen, and destroying the Prydwen.
- If the fast travel target to an area is cluttered or would be impossible to get to, the vertibird may land at a different location nearby.
- The vertibird will still come even if one defeated the BoS in the main quest. However, factions such as the Minutemen and the Institute may be hostile.
- Throwing the grenade at an NPC (such as a settler) will cause them to become hostile if it hits them or explodes close to them.
- Signal grenades do not work on the Far Harbor island or in Nuka-World .
- The hidden quest ID triggered by the grenade for calling in a vertibird is VFT . It can be manipulated in the console like any other quest.
- The grenades have a small kinetic effect on impact and on detonating, that can move corpses and other objects.
- This can be used as a workaround to place actual offensive grenades safely on an ally, by transferring the signal grenade first, as only the first grenade placed is live.

Originally posted by casualsailor : No. Except if you know a loc that is on a line further than your desired destination. Then you can select the known loc and tell them to land when you are above your desired loc. Dumb Example: If you knew both Concord and Sanctuary but not Red Rocket. You could have the bird pick you up in Concord tell them to take you to Sanctuary and then tell them to land when you were over Red Rocket.

Originally posted by King Dan the Triggered : Originally posted by casualsailor : Well I was unsure about my description and was going to use an actual one that I had done. It was setting my destination for Virgil's Cave and then jumpinig out at a spot where you are supposed to meet a BOS scribe. But I couldn't remember the names of the destination, quest or scribe and if you haven't done the quest you'd probably not know what I was talking about. So, I picked a "dumb" example that anyone that has played the game even a little should get.

A.Park Nov 30, 2015 @ 9:31am. I saw an interesting point on another forum that a good use of the Vertibird is to travel to a location while you are heavily encumbered with your loot. Since you can't fast travel while encumbered without the 'Strong Back' perk, this might be the next best thing. Source. Last edited by A.Park ; Nov 30, 2015 @ 9:31am.
Sticky. 06 July 2020, 1:23AM. The mountable map travel VFT quest and actors are actually the base game system and assets totally unmodified. Only the way the base game VFT quest it is called/started is magic. The pilot is MM/BOS/RR depending on who you are pals with, so Sim Settlements Conqueror raiders are hostile to the base game VFT actors.

Vertibird is a designation for a series of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft. These multipurpose tiltrotor aircraft were developed by the United States military and rapidly became a primary gunship and transport aircraft. Developed by the Department of Defense as early as 2072, the original Vertibird was created as a multipurpose tiltrotor vertical take-off aircraft. While utilized ...
Pretty cool trip to the glowing sea using a vertibird.
Vertibird. You need to do just introduce BOS quests, not need to be aligned with them. (so it is ok until late main story decision) Btw I pewsonaly still prefer travel on foot - solely for the amount of discoveries and encounters I make this way.

You get the vertibirds after you go far enough into the BoS storyline, after the Fort Strong quest IIRC. Maxson has to give you the signal grenades. First you have to advance the main quest till the point you find and kill Kellogg. At that point the BOS will arrive in the massive air ship. You then have to do the BOS quest until you clear out ...
BHAALER 8 years ago #8. You can also select a destination and land on the way there, which is handy for discovering locations between point A & B. I use the vertibirds to travel pretty frequently, the mounted minigun also helped me in a fight against Swan. "Alone in the dark with nothing but your thoughts, time can draw out like a blade."
The Vertibird will land wherever the grenade is thrown, provided that there is sufficient space. Heavily forested areas, downtown Boston, and indoor locations will pose challenges. The Vertibirds will meet you in the Glowing Sea, though you will continue to suffer radiation damage even in the air.
Yep! Throw a vertibird grenade outside of combat, and you can use it to travel. Notably, this is one of two ways to fast travel in survival mode; the other option is fast travel to the institute (which is one-way, as you can only teleport out to the CIT ruins, which is yet another reason why Hangman's alley is fantastic for survival).

When you want to use a Vertibird, you use a call grenade and wait for a Vertibird to fly to your location. You then board it and select the target destination on the map in your Pip-Boy as if you wanted to fast travel there. The pilot will take you there. No additional markers involved.

ChemicalBacon Sep 14, 2016 @ 12:40pm. You can cancel your flight path midflight and the vertibird will divert. technically, you could line yourself up with an undiscovered location and checker-jump your way between multiple locations, assuming you have them. #2. RED Sep 14, 2016 @ 12:43pm.
Good hunting out there. I don't know what buttons you need to press. I'm a PC guy here. But how you use the Vertibirds is simple. Throw the grenade. Wait for the Vertibird to land. Enter the Vertibird. Open your Pip-Boy. Select Map and then chose a location you want to travel to.
