How to access the Euphoria Coast Automech Repair Center in The Outer Worlds 2
To access the Euphoria Coast Automech Repair Center in The Outer Worlds 2, players must first navigate to the Euphoria Coast region by following the main storyline or using fast travel points. Once there, look for the repair center marked on the map near the coast. Gaining entry requires completing a preliminary quest that involves securing authorization from local faction representatives. After meeting these requirements, you can enter the facility to upgrade and repair your automechs, enhancing their performance for upcoming challenges.
The Euphoria Coast Automech Repair Center is located on the southeastern side of Paradise Island, and there are two methods to access the facility. One involves collecting a pass card, while the other requires you to have Engineering level three.
There is no “right answer” as picking one over the other won’t change the interactions you have inside the center. It’s all a matter of what fits your playstyle.
Keep in mind that entering the Euphoria Coast Automech Repair Center without authorization makes all NPCs hostile to you, so make sure to use one of the following methods.
Method #1 – Euphoria ARC Pass
This is a simple, fast, and effective way of getting permission to enter the Euphoria Coast Automech Repair Center. You will only need to obtain the Euphoria ARC Pass.
The pass can be printed using a terminal inside the Ministry of Accuracy on the west side of Paradise Island. If this is your first time visiting, there will be lots of Raptidons to kill, so be sure to replenish your bullets.
Inside the Ministry of Accuracy, head to the western side and use the stairs to access the largest building. If you haven’t already been to Fairfield, you’ll meet Inez in the first corridor. In any case, go to the room further back and look for the ladder to your right. Climb it to go up to the next floor, which has a gap separating the south from the north side of the room. Jump over the gap to the other side to find the terminal.
Use the terminal and select [ALERT: Overdue Deliverable] followed up by [Print Euphoria ARC Pass]. By choosing these options, you will receive the access pass. Open your inventory to find it in the quest items tab.
With this item in your possession, travel to the repair center, and talk to Sub-Mechanist Cade Tierney. Choose to show the access pass and watch Tierney squirm as they’re a bit afraid of having offended a Protectorate official.
Method #2 – Engineering
You don’t need to obtain the ARC Pass if you are a good engineer! The second method to access the Euphoria Coast Automech Repair Center involves a bit of roleplaying and points allocated to the right skills.
Without the ARC Pass, talk to Sub-Mechanist Cade Tierney in front of the repair center. In case you have at least Engineering 2, you can pick the dialogue option, “I’m fairly handy with automechs, if there’s work for me.” Sub-Mechanist Cade Tierney will find it suspicious that you appeared out of nowhere, and say you might be a spy.
If you have Speech 3, the “Because if I was a spy, you’d already feel at ease knowing that I’m not a spy” surprisingly convinces Tierney to let you inside.
However, to make Sub-Mechanist Cade Tierney accept you without raising any suspicion, you’ll need Engineering 3. With Engineering 3, talk to him and select the dialogue option, “I just want to see what passes for automechanicals in these parts and help where I can,” which will give you a free pass to the repair center.
Best route from Fairfield to the Automech Repair Center
The best route from Fairfield to the Euphoria Coast Automech Repair Center on Paradise Island in The Outer Worlds 2 is as follows:
-
From Fairfield (a town on Paradise Island), head west towards the Ministry of Accuracy, which is located on the southwestern coast of the island. The Ministry of Accuracy is an important location where you can obtain the ARC Access Pass needed to enter the Automech Repair Center.
-
Clear out any hostile Raptidons encountered in the Ministry of Accuracy. Explore inside to find the terminal on the second floor (reachable by climbing a ladder and jumping across a gap in the building).
-
Use the terminal to print the Euphoria ARC Pass by selecting the “Alert Overdue Deliverable” option and then print the pass.
-
With the ARC Pass, head southeast from Fairfield to the Automech Repair Center, located on the southeastern edge of Paradise Island.
-
Present the ARC Pass to the guard at the center’s entrance to gain access without conflict.
Alternatively, if you have an Engineering skill of level 3 or higher, you can bypass the need for the pass by convincing Sub-Mechanist Cade Tierney at the entrance to let you in, or with slightly lower skills using a combination of Engineering and Speech checks.
This route is efficient and avoids unnecessary hostility, ensuring smooth progression to the Automech Repair Center for quests and exploration.
Fastest path from Fairfield to Paradise Island docks
The fastest path from Fairfield to the Paradise Island docks is to head northwest out of Fairfield toward the coast. The docks are located on the northwest side of the northern part of Paradise Island, just a short distance away. This route avoids longer detours or hostile areas and leads quickly to the dock area situated near the Fisherman’s Shack and Ministry of Accuracy. From Fairfield, simply move along the coastal road or pathways leading northwest, keeping close to the water’s edge until you reach the dock structures.
This path is both direct and efficient for reaching the docks quickly for quests, travel, or exploration.
