¶ Overview
Challenge Tokens are the currency of Camp Jefferson: brass coins stamped with the camp's star and the year 2077. The player can trade them at Challenge Token Machines for supplies, a second plasma gun, and key cards to five locked Cache rooms.
¶ Earning Tokens
The player will come across tokens in a few different ways:
- Dolores - When the player first arrives in the Army Base Hall, Dolores introduces the token system and hands over 25 tokens to get them started. If the player kills Dolores instead, the tokens can be looted from it.
- Makeshift Boston - Each scenario completed in Makeshift Boston pays out a bundle of tokens. Extra tokens are paid for selling the drinks and fixing the jukebox, and again for completing all five scenarios.
- Searching - Desks, safes, file cabinets, toolboxes, crates and metal boxes throughout Camp Jefferson can hold a few loose tokens, anywhere from 1 to 9 at a time. It pays to check everything.
¶ Challenge Token Machines
Challenge Token Machines are tall orange machines with a terminal screen and the Camp Jefferson coin on the front. There are six of them standing throughout the facility.
Using one opens the Challenge Token Exchange Machine terminal. It shows how many tokens the player is carrying, followed by a list of everything available, its cost, and how many are left. Some items are handed out in bundles, so a single purchase can give the player several at once.
| Item | Cost | Received per purchase | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| .38 Round | 2 Tokens | 120 | |
| Plasma Cartridge | 4 Tokens | 45 | |
| Purified Water | 5 Tokens | 1 | |
| Blamco Brand Mac and Cheese | 5 Tokens | 1 | |
| Bobby Pin | 8 Tokens | 4 | |
| RadAway | 8 Tokens | 3 | |
| Stimpak | 10 Tokens | 3 | |
| Med-X | 12 Tokens | 2 | Antibiotics in Survival mode |
| Fragmentation Grenade | 15 Tokens | 2 | |
| Camp Jefferson Cache A Key Card | 30 Tokens | 1 | Only 1 available |
| Camp Jefferson Cache B Key Card | 30 Tokens | 1 | Only 1 available |
| Camp Jefferson Cache C Key Card | 30 Tokens | 1 | Only 1 available |
| Camp Jefferson Cache D Key Card | 30 Tokens | 1 | Only 1 available |
| Camp Jefferson Cache E Key Card | 30 Tokens | 1 | Only 1 available |
| XC-78 Plasma Caster | 300 Tokens | 1 | Only 1 available |
Supplies are limited. Every machine draws from the same stock, so anything the player buys at one machine is gone from all of them.
¶ The XC-78 Plasma Caster
The most expensive thing on offer is the XC-78 Plasma Caster, a variant of the XC-77 that the player picks up during the Weapons Training section. Targets killed with the XC-78 explode, doing 30 points of area effect damage.
At 300 tokens, the XC-78 takes some saving up, so players who want it should go easy on supplies.
¶ Cache Rooms
Five Cache rooms, A through E, are hidden around Camp Jefferson. Each one is sealed by a security gate with a card reader beside it. The matching key card from a Challenge Token Machine will open the gate, or players with enough skill can pick the lock instead.
| Cache Room | Lock |
|---|---|
| Cache Room A | Expert |
| Cache Room B | Expert |
| Cache Room C | Expert |
| Cache Room D | Expert |
| Cache Room E | Master |
Inside, the player will find a stash of supplies and loot. Cache Room E also holds Haymaker, a set of knuckles with the Staggering legendary mod, and the "Custodian Access Incident" holotape.
Each key card can only be bought once. All five key cards and the XC-78 together cost 450 tokens, so players who want everything should search thoroughly and finish every Makeshift Boston scenario - or put a few points into Locksmith and save their tokens for the XC-78.
