Outer Worlds 2

Should You Full Burn, Near Full, or Partial Burn the Evidence Rooms?

Add to Watchlist

Full Burn Near Full or Partial Burn

Choosing the Partial Burn option is the best choice to earn the most rewards during Marisol’s companion quest in Outer Worlds 2. See the outcomes and rewards of each option, and the consequences of burning the evidence rooms, here!

Full Burn, Near Full, or Partial Burn Outcomes

Burn Choices Results
Partial Burn Earn x2000 Bits and +6 Rep for Auntie's Choice
Marisol remains neutral with this choice.
Near Full Earn x650 Bits and +2 Rep for Auntie's Choice
Marisol agrees with this decision.
Full Burn -6 Rep for Auntie's Choice and branded as an Outlaw
Auntie's Choice troopers outside the building will be hostile.
Marisol fully agrees with this decision.

In Marisol’s companion quest The Midpoint to the Endpoint, you must decide how much of the evidence rooms to burn. A Partial Burn offers the best rewards, granting 2000 Bits and +6 Rep with Auntie’s Choice. Marisol remains neutral toward this choice.

A Near Full burn provides smaller rewards, at 650 Bits and +2 Rep, though Marisol approves of destroying more of the evidence.

A Full Burn wipes out all evidence rooms and is treated as a crime by Auntie’s Choice, resulting in -6 Rep and marking you as an Outlaw. The troops outside become hostile, and fighting them further damages your reputation with the faction. Despite this, Marisol most approves of this decision.

The Midpoint to the Endpoint Walkthrough

Should You Full Burn, Near Full, or Partial Burn the Evidence Rooms?

Choose Partial Burn to Net the Most Rewards

x2000 bits +6 Rep points

Choosing to only burn the Cataclysmic Ends evidence room nets you the most rewards (2000 Bits and +6 Auntie's Choice Rep), and does not damage your relationship with Marisol. Furthermore, you'll be able to leave Winter's Grasp without combat.

How to Raise or Lose Reputation

Choose Near Full to Stay Neutral

Near Full

Near Full is the most neutral option among the three choices, as it grants the representative's wishes without providing her with extra resources to work with. Marisol will also agree with this decision instead of being neutral with the Partial Burn option, and you still get some rewards from Auntie's Choice. You can also leave Winter's Grasp without combat.

Choosing Full Burn Results in the Worst Outcome

While this option can be chosen, it will reap you no short or long-term rewards with a bunch of enemies waiting outside the door. Furthermore, you will be branded as an Outlaw by Auntie's Choice.
