All Completion Routes

Best Completion Route

The best way to get into the farm is by deactivating the security system in the farm in the house nearby.

Farm Routes

There are two methods to get into the farm. One is to just sneak or hack through the defense systems. Another way is to deactivate the security systems in the house.

Deactivating Security Systems

You will need to first get into the house to deactivate the security. There are two turrets in the front. You can avoid them or deactivate/destroy them to make it easier. You can get in through shutters that require Technical 5 on the right side of the house or through a door on the left. The security controls are in a secret room in the bedroom on the second floor. The switch to open it is under the desk.

After deactivating you can run to the ladder on the left side of the barn.

Hack or Sneak Past Security

There are two turrets in front of the house and two turrets in front of the farm. These are the primary obstacles you will have to worry about. You can hack and deactivate or destroy them and then only worry about the mines. Have your scanner open to making it easier to see the mines and head to the ladder on the left side of the barn.

Tips and Strategies

Entering The Lab

Open A Door With Technical Skill

There's a door at the side of the building that requires 12 Technical Points to open.

Climb To The Back

You can climb to the back of the building by jumping atop the dumpster and the food truck in the picture above, which are found on the side of the building. Next, climb up the ladder next to the closed shutter labeled NCPD. You should find an accessible window on the second floor.

Surviving Edgewood Barn

Deactivate at least one of the turrets with a QuickHack so that you have an opening to sneak past into the house. If possible, deactivate both turrets guarding the house.
