Deciding what to do in The Outer Worlds 2 can sometimes be tricky, but there are moments when the choices are pretty clear. For example, when you arrive at Fort Endurance in the Golden Ridge area and figure out what’s really going on with their top officer.
The game is full of funny and quirky characters. One of the best examples in Golden Ridge are Trooper Wentworth and his Mantisaur Captain Wotjek, during the “Pinching the Pupa” quest. You.need to find a pupa in a Mantisaur nest and decide whether to give it to Wentworth or hand it over to Biologist Bradford for science purposes.
What Happens If You Give the Pupa to Trooper Wentworth?
Wotjek, the Mantisaur captain, reacts just as you might expect. After tracking down the pupa, you return to Fort Endurance and face a decision. By this point, you should have talked to Wentworth and Bradford, and it’s clear that Wentworth is up to something odd.
Wentworth claims he can talk with the Mantisaur captain and wants the pupa to prove he has a special connection and understanding of the beast. If you choose to give him the pupa, Bradford will be very upset. However, you’ll get 1,500 bits, experience points, a +1 reputation with Auntie’s Choice, and a powerful shotgun called Cleo’s the Hunt.
But if you decide not to give Wentworth the pupa, Wotjek simply eats it, destroying it forever, and making Wentworth look like a fool. Soon after, Fort Endurance will be attacked by a swarm of Mantisaurs angry because their pupa was taken.
What Happens If You Give the Pupa to Biologist Bradford?
If you choose to give the pupa to Bradford, she recognizes Wentworth’s act for what it is. You’ll still have to fight the Mantisaur swarm at Fort Endurance, and you’ll receive the same shotgun, bits, and experience.
This choice also boosts your reputation by 3 points instead of 1, and helps Bradford move forward in her career ambitions, putting an end to Wentworth’s ridiculous scheme.
Why You Should Give the Pupa to Bradford
Although you’ll get the shotgun, experience, and bits in either case, it’s better to give the pupa to Bradford because you gain more reputation. Plus, it’s clear that Wentworth is lying about his abilities and just using this as a way to stay in control at Fort Endurance.
While Bradford might also be trying to climb the ladder, her methods are straightforward and honest, unlike Wentworth’s deception. Overall, giving the pupa to Bradford is the smarter choice for Fort Endurance in The Outer Worlds 2.
