Recruit Kilo and Glitch
| # | Walkthrough |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Once you've accepted the quest, walk with Shim. He'll then ask you to recruit Kilo and Glitch, which are each separate side missions. Talk to Shim again to accept both the Scoundrel Roundup: Kilo and Scoundrel Roundup: Glitch side missions. These are short missions that only require you to complete simple tasks in order to recruit them. |
| 2 | After recruiting Kilo and Glitch, return to Shim and enter his house to go over the plan. |
| 3 |  Head northeast to The Debilitory, located in the northern part of Hungering Plain. |
| 4 | Enter the house south of the warehouse and go upstairs to rendezvous with your crew. Then, take the electro charges from Glitch. |
Get on Warehouse Roof
| # | Walkthrough |
|---|---|
| 1 |  To get on the roof of The Debilitory, head through the cave north of the warehouse and climb up to higher ground. |
| 2 |  Make your way southeast until you reach a platform by the cliff overlooking the warehouse. Jump and glide to the roof. |
| 3 |  Once you land, kill the Order warehouse guards. You'll then need to place the electro charges on four arrays, found at each corner of the roof. |
| 4 | After placing all the electro charges, locate the door controls in the western part of the roof, near the array on the upper right side. |
| 5 |  Kilo will then instruct you on how to open the door. You must follow her instructions quickly, as each command has a 4-second timer. When you’re ready, smack or melee the red button. The sequence is as follows: ・Pull lever ・Flip switch ・Pull lever ・Shoot panel ・Melee button ・Shoot panel ・Melee button ・Pull lever ・Melee button ・Flip switch ・Pull lever ・Shoot panel ・Flip switch. |
Infiltrate Warehouse
| # | Walkthrough |
|---|---|
| 1 | After opening the door, you’ll be ambushed by Order security guards. Kill them to proceed. |
| 2 | Meet up with your crew afterward in front of the door. Shoot the bomb on the pavement to blow a hole in the roof. |
| 3 |  Jump down the hole to enter the security room. You then have two ways to handle the next objective: turn off the three power relays downstairs without touching any red lasers, or simply touch a laser and deal with Order security forces. Either choice will have the same outcome. |
| 4 |  Next, head to the safe on the upper level and find and melee the right spot for Kilo to cut. It will the blue marker on the left side of the safe. |
| 5 | As Kilo cuts through the safe, you’ll be attacked by fire suppression forces, followed by Order security forces. Defend your crew and kill the enemies to proceed! |
| 6 |  Drones will later join the fight. Destroy them and collect three drone rockets. |
| 7 | Once clear, place the drone rockets on the sides of the vault, then tell Glitch to launch the safe into the air. |
Travel to Safe's New Location
| # | Walkthrough |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Leave The Debilitory and travel northwest to the safe's new location in Smackwater, near the center of Lopside. Kill the Order security forces in the area. |
| 2 |  After clearing the area, open the safe and this will complete the mission. |
