| Route | Rating |
|---|---|
| Sneak Into The Roof with High Technical Skill | ★★★★★ |
| No Requirements | ★★★★ |
| Force Open Garage Door | ★★★ |
| Guns Blazing | ★★★ |
Sneaking into the Roof is the best one here because it's the way into the gas station where you don't have to worry about mines or being spotted
| No Requirements | Enter the gas station from the right while avoiding the mines, then you'll arrive in a storage room. There, go through the door on your right, then door to your left. Follow the counter and the door will be to your left. Sneak into the garage workshop and sneak into the office on the second floor. |
|---|---|
| Sneak Into The Roof with High Technical Skill | There's a combat free way to enter the gas station with enough technical skill. With a Technical Skill of 3, you can break the fence at the left side of the gas station that leads to the roof. With a Technical Skill of 5, you can go down the exit hatch from the roof that leads into the gas station. Once you reach the garage workshop, you can climb on to the shelving units next to the fork lift to reach the air conditioning units above the storage area, and enter the office with Hellman via the open window. |
| Force Open Garage Door | The north garage gate can be forced open, and afterwards, keep left until you find a doorway to the garage workshop. You can climb on to the shelving units next to the fork lift to reach the air conditioning units above the storage area, and enter the office with Hellman via the open window. |
The best route here would be to force open the garage doors that lead straight into the garage workshop which are at the front of the station, otherwise, go through the no requirements route if ever you have no body attribute.
There are mines around the borders of the gas station, so be wary of them and look out for them with your scanner.
To romance Panam later on, do the following things during this mission:
| Defend Her From Saul | When Saul starts berating her at the end of the mission, defend her. |
|---|---|
| Choose the Long Reply to Her Text After The Mission | After the mission, she'll message you about her feelings. Choose the long reply instead of "OK." to show her you care, otherwise she'll snap at you through message. |
