How to get the Tesla Cannon and complete Best of Three
Essentially, this quest is all about going from one dead Gunner to another and getting information from each of them.
Head to the first Gunner after listening to the distress call via the Radio in your Pip Boy. You'll discover a Gunner Holotape, and you can connect your Pip Boy to the Gunner to learn new coordinates.
Head to the new coordinates in the Glowing Sea. You'll need to head down into a church, which can only be accessed through the tower portion as the rest of the church is covered by terrain. Deal with the ghouls inside then grab the next set of coordinates from the Gunner corpse. There's also a safe key on the ground next to them.
Follow these new coordinates to another Gunner, this time by a radio tower. Download the data from the dead Gunner here too, but be careful not to get killed by Bloatflys.
After dealing with them, you'll be able to listen to the Gunner Signal Remnant to get new directions. You'll be able to track how close you are to the new coordinates using the percentage that will pop up, so head in whichever direction it sends you. You'll end up near a crashed plane, and you'll find the final dead Gunner inside.
The villainous Caroni will show up, equipped with the Tesla Cannon, and you'll have to kill him to get it. He's not a hard enemy, but his weapon is pretty strong. Deal with him however you see fit, then loot his body.
He'll have the Tesla Cannon on him, which you can grab and use yourself!
