The Silver Shroud side mission in Fallout 4 starts when players first listen to Silver Shroud Radio near Goodneighbor. Players will meet Kent Connolly, a ghoulified technician responsible for maintaining the radio who will ask players to find the Silver Shroud costume

Players then travel to Hubris Comics, where they can learn more about the mysterious lead protagonist from the series of the same name by picking up the Silver Shroud photo, submachine gun prop and script. Once they're all collected and brought back to Kent, players will gain the Silver Shroud costume (that will be upgraded to armour), as well as a new dialogue option which will enable players to 'speak as Shroud'.

With their new persona as a vigilante comic book hero, players get to embark on a number of missions to either kill or be bought off by a number of undesirable figures roaming around Fallout's wastelands.

With plenty of decision-making, some sweet callbacks to classic comic book-style entertainment, and some impressive potential rewards, The Silver Shroud side missions are some of the most fun to be had in Fallout 4.
