Exploring the post-apocalyptic amusement park in Fallout 4's Nuka-World DLC offers players a mix of dangerous encounters and hidden secrets. Among the most intriguing quests is "Cappy in a Haystack," which requires players to equip special Cappy Glasses to spot hidden cartoon depictions painted on surfaces across the park. Finding every hidden Cappy image in Nuka-Town USA is essential for completing the quest and unlocking John-Caleb Bradberton's secret office vault.
Equipping the Cappy Glasses for Search
Before beginning your search around Nuka-Town USA, ensure that Sierra Petrovita has given you the Cappy Glasses. Equipping these glasses allows the hidden drawings to reveal their embedded code numbers when observed closely. Without wearing them, the graffiti appears incomplete or invisible, making interaction impossible.
Finding the Cappy in the Market and Main Street
The central hub of Nuka-Town USA holds multiple hidden images along its perimeter walls and structures. Look behind the houses near the market stalls where debris and broken walls obscure the artwork from plain view. Checking behind the main town stage and along the outer brick buildings will yield another hidden painting needed for your log.
Locating Cappy Near Fizztop Mountain and the Parlor
Heading toward Fizztop Mountain, players should search the rocky paths and decorative archways leading up to the crest. Another drawing is concealed on the side walls near the entrance to the Operators' base in The Parlor. Carefully scanning these structural facades ensures you will not miss the code segments tucked away in high-traffic areas.
Unlocking the Reward in Bradberton's Office
Once all hidden Cappy images throughout Nuka-Town USA and the surrounding parks are discovered, return to Sierra to input the full password. Accessing the hidden vault inside Bradberton's office grants access to unique rewards, including the Nuka-Nuke Launcher and the secret Nuka-Cola Quantum recipe. Taking the time to locate each hidden stencil provides both rich lore and valuable end-game loot.
