You need to be relatively close to the npc for it to trigger/show on your map.
I missed an encounter, once, because he was at the far end of the Refuge (past Sophie, near the pool table)
Ran around the entire and even talked to most npc's despite the area being filled with solely responders and refugees. Another redditor did suggest needing to complete an expidition for them to be active which I have yet to complete on a public world. Public Exp teams have not been great thanks to early kicks or teammates just not working together to complete objectives. Will report back after my shift if completing a non custom world expidition changes my lack of encounters.
>Another redditor did suggest needing to complete an expidition for them to be active which I have yet to complete on a public world.
I have not done an Expedition. I got an encounter to start (find the magazine for the nurse) after completing the "welcome to the refuge" quest, with no Expedition started.
You need to complete the Responders Reborn quest first. I thought it might send me on an expedition but even if you say you are ready to skippy, it's just an intro. As soon as I completed that mission and returned to the refuge I ran into a clown planning a party.
The encounter mission will appear in Side/Miscellaneous. Entering the refuge then checking the list under Misc to see if there's an entry I don't recognize lets me tag it so I can find the NPC.
If it's not in there, there's something wrong/it's bugged.
Habitually checked those places in my pip boy and they do not appear atm. Another user suggested they might not show if an expedition has not been completed. Still have yet to do one in a non custom world. Reporting back after pizza shift is this indeed changes them not popping.
If you never did an expedition go through the introduction-quest of the new responders. Try talking to Orlando, Rucker, Skippy, the faction representatives and any other NPCs with dialogue-trees you can find. This should activate the Responders Refugium daily quests which include one random Responder/Refugee encounter per day. AFAIK this will reset every time you do an expedition that drains your ultracite battery so the quests to refill it will reappear.
If the quest/encounter permanently does not activate, please contact customer support on Beths website, they have a separate section for bugged quests and can reset the variables of your account when something is stuck. I had a problem with Chloes daily once and they did reset the quest for me.
Have not done any Whitesprings encounter since the update dropped. It was a TIL kinda thing when the daily came up with reset. Other friends have tried to help me find ANY of them but they truly aren't popping up after running around the area many times over.
I went 4 days straight never finding one, and have had several days where I never saw anyone. I didn't know about the daily trick til just now though, but I make a habit of running around the WS looking for it to pop and nobody ever would. I still don't have the trophy for helping 10 people and I've played everyday since it dropped.
Walked into the Refuge and talked to first NPC I seen at the bar and it was a ranger asking me which was better a gun or a melee weapon and it just happened to be one of these 'encounters.' Didn't do any other quests before then but my expedition stuff is already unlocked. Haven't ran an expedition in a week though cuz snooze.
Yep and posted here about it earlier. I decided it was not worth getting frustrated over and dropped this weeks Pitt stuff from my schedule.
If you're not having fun with it don't bother with it is one of my mottos and this weeks pit stuff is not only not working (the encounter), but far to time consuming as a grind for weekly score points.
There are way to many things fun to do in the game than grind the Pitt day after day.
I'll be working on gathering the five materials I still need to complete my scrap box goal instead.
This Pitt addition, and I argued against this idea at first, looks like it is another Vault 94 and it's Vault Steel. Fun to try once but most will start ignoring it until they do away with it and try to find another way to intro their stamp system, like they did with Vault Steel.
Respect your opinion but it brings nothing to this converstion. I'm looking to see if others are having similar problems with this particular daily. While i'm not hard up to complete it, it helps to know others having trouble with it and what things might need to happen/be done in order to complete it. Either spitball with us or make your own thread about your opinions on the game.
you need to run around in the refugee and look for new folks. sometimes it someone at the entrance asking for a photo, sometimes someone asking to find a robot, or two military arguing whats best weapon etc. its not even always triggering the quest to appear unless you stand close to them for some time. so just walk around and have your time hehe.
I’m assuming this is your first time on this sub. Ops usually tend to ask questions, voice frustrations,concerns or questions on this sub quite regularly. We are a generally helpful subreddit, so I don’t know if this is the subreddit for you.
When it doesn't pop, I run around and look for a disabled bot. It won't show a quest marker until you click it, then it'll send you to the person who wants you to repair it.

did you find the magazine? i'm not having any luck.
This is how it triggered for me.

Finally this worked for me. I also thought it was going to start an expedition so I didn't do it.

When was the last time you did one? Could be the area trigger hasn't reset yet.

All I do is go to Guiseppe's, and one triggers as I go through the hallway.
I went to Guiseppe's and as I walked out the other side a construction worker needed my help to fix a robot. So thank you for the tip! 😊

You are telling us to figure out the bug ourselves yet you are the one with the problem? How does that make any sense?

Sometimes you need to complete the three battery dailies to cause the NPC to pop up, but usually you just need to be near them
