Ludwig Miller, a security officer with a flair for the dramatic, believes the rise of the mechanical menace is imminent. In his questline, “The Coming Apocalypse,” you’ll be tasked with eliminating rogue robots, gathering parts, and wielding unique weapons to fend off the perceived machine threat. This guide will walk you through every step of Ludwig’s eccentric and conspiracy-fueled missions.

Quest Start: Meeting Ludwig Miller

You’ll find Ludwig just outside Edgewater near the landing pad. He’s convinced that auto-mechanicals are plotting humanity’s demise. After a bit of conspiracy-laden dialogue, he assigns you the first task: to hunt down a mechanical scout spotted near the town’s junkyard.

Tip: Accept all of Ludwig’s quests at once to streamline your mission objectives.

Task 1: The Scout and Jeremy

Head to the junkyard to find the mechanical scout. You’ll come across a defective auto-mechanical named Jeremy. With Parvati’s help, you can repair Jeremy instead of destroying him, which will alter Ludwig’s reaction later.

Repair Requirements:

• Engineering skill: 20+
• Parvati’s assistance makes the repair easier.

If you repair Jeremy:

• He returns to the repair bay peacefully.
• Ludwig still rewards you but seems mildly disappointed.

If you destroy Jeremy:

• Loot the mechanical parts for Ludwig.

Task 2: The Secret Weapon – “Hand of the Law”

After dealing with the scout, Ludwig sends you to the cantina’s lavatory in Edgewater to retrieve a hidden weapon mod: the Injury Customizing Unit. This mod electrifies weapons, making them highly effective against auto-mechanicals.

Weapon Mod Stats:

• Damage Type: Shock
• Effect: Significant damage boost against robots.

Install the mod on a high-damage weapon to maximize its potential. Ludwig calls this mod the “Hand of the Law” and believes it’s the key to defeating the machine uprising.

Task 3: The Logic Module

Ludwig’s final request is for a Logic Module from the old geothermal plant. However, you’ll need a passcode from Reed Thompson to access the plant.

How to Obtain the Passcode:

• Convince Reed through dialogue checks (Persuade, Lie, or Intimidate).
• Complete a side quest for Reed to gain favor.

Inside the Plant:

• Expect heavy resistance from auto-mechanicals.
• Use shock weapons to deal bonus damage.

Retrieve an intact logic module and return to Ludwig for your reward.

Conclusion: The “Resistance” Reward

For completing all tasks, Ludwig rewards you with:

• Bit cartridges for your troubles.
• A unique weapon mod.
• The satisfaction of having “saved” humanity from the robot menace.

Ludwig’s quests offer a mix of humor and decent early-game rewards. The shock weapon mod, in particular, is invaluable for dealing with auto-mechanicals throughout The Outer Worlds.
