After handling the situation in Rail Crossing, you found out that a man called Cornell and his gang Acid Hunters found something that's causing the Faceless attacks. Find them.
Objectives
- Look for Cornell and his Acid Hunters gang in the Core City and report your findings to Tanner.
Walkthrough
This mission isn't the most straightforward one - Cornell is hard to find. There are almost no direct leads to where his hideout could be.
In the end, you'll have work for one of the three major factions and one of the oligarchs of Core City—Rupert Simmons of Coretech, Gunnar Edstrom of JKK or Archibald Knight of Praetorian Security—and get involved in their business.
This means you have to choose one of three distinct questlines that will take you through various events of Core City from the viewpoint of that faction. Once you start working for one of the factions, the others refuse to hire you. All of the three questlines will take you through the same event at a Coretech warehouse on Core City's lower level. Later on, every questline also takes you to Cornell's hideout and that leads to a secret Coretech Research Facility. Some areas of Core City become accessible only during one of these questlines, so the entire city cannot be explored in one playthrough.
Key differences between questlines
- The Coretech questline involves finding a lost agent and tracking down stolen technology. The warehouse event is defending the warehouse with Coretech agents against unknown attackers. Passing through the research facility will be easier.
- The JKK questline involves mostly undercover work, infiltration and such. The warehouse event is disabling the warehouse's security.
- JKK only locations: Abandoned Biocorp Facility
- The Praetorian Security questline involves most direct combat. The warehouse event is eliminating mercenaries who have taken over the warehouse.
- Praetorian Security only locations: North-northeast part of Core City Sewers (notably, there are Mysterious Pillars similar to the ones in Silent Isle)
