How to Deploy a Zipline and Power it Up
| How to Power Up Zipline | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Find the nearest Relay Tower that you have, or create a new one in the direction of the Old Factory, and start a Transmission. |
| 2 |  While in transmission, create as much distance as possible and create another Relay Tower to connect the transmission. Repeat this process until you reach the Zipline Pylon. |
Place More Zipline Pylons
Shortly after powering the Zipline Pylon, Hartmann will go to the otherside of the cliff. Follow him by teleporting to the nearest TP point and placing Zipline Pylons beside him. Make sure to have a power source for the Zipline to work.
Head Back to Hartmann Through the Zipline
Use the zipline to get across the cliff to where you originally started. Arriving to that point, Hartmann will leave to fetch something from his car.
Find Hartmann
After leaving, you'll be notified by Fiona that Hartmann is missing. You'll be tasked to find where he is, and he is located somewhere in The Hub with Wulfgard.
Investigate the Area
Use your scan function to investigate your surroundings. You'll find Hartmann's Work ID, Used Bolts, and Hartmann's Dashcam Record.
After a brief dialogue, Fiona will give you information regarding Hartmann, and the mission will be concluded.
