Cop A Squatter is an easy daily quest that has the potential to give out some good rewards. It can be started by speaking to Chief in the Watoga Emergency Services building. Once there, Chief will talk about a location where some squatters need to be removed. It is then just a question of dealing with the squatters.
This daily quest usually takes only a couple of minutes to complete, making it good for those gamers who don't have much time to play. It also offers some pretty decent rewards for those who do it. It is worth noting that the mod is potentially the best reward. There are some very valuable mods in the world of Fallout 76. The Enclave Flamer Mod and Enclave Reflex Sight are two mods that are hard to come by.

Chloe is a Miss Nanny robot. She can be found in Berkeley Springs, and she mistakes the player for the child she is supposed to be looking after. This may not sound too bad, but she is actually trying to have the child killed. In order to do this, she sends the player, 'the child,' out on a dangerous mission in the hopes that the player won't return. Whether it is picking flowers, collecting creature innards, or attending a 'play date,' they all end in the same way. They end with the player having to fend off some enemies.

There are 3 locations that the player can check out to find the cryptid. It will only spawn at one of the 3 locations, so there's a 33% chance of finding the cryptid in the very first location. Once found, it needs to be killed, and its DNA needs to be taken to the Hunter's Shack. The rewards for this daily quest are also pretty good. Just like the previous daily quest, there's a small chance for the player to receive a piece of rare apparel for completing Queen Of The Hunt.

One of the three tubes will be broken, and the player will need to repair it at a Tinker's Workbench before handing it over to Wren. If the player's intelligence is 8 or higher, then there's an option that will net gamers some extra rewards for completing the quest.
It's worth noting that, despite being called a daily quest, players can only complete this particular mission once every two days. There are two raider-based daily quests in the Crater, and players will be tasked with completing one of them each day.

There are already a couple of other raiders who are heading for the former raider. It's possible to speak to these raiders first and either bribe them, kill them, or convince them to leave the former raider alone.
