The Pickup Guide
What happens if you call Meredith Stout?
- You’ll acquire a Militech data shard that you can fully decrypt and receive:
- 10k eddies
- A possible copy of the Quickhack Synapse Burnout
- A possible future romance with Meredith
Call Militech agent Meredith Stout
By calling Meredith Stout, you’re setting up a meeting with her.
Meet with the Militech agent
When you get to the meeting, she’ll attack you no matter which option you choose to approach her with and you’ll be held at gunpoint while questioned. The answers don’t matter too much, because the big guy with the gun will know you’re lying anyway.
She’ll eventually hand you a Militech data shard, which is encrypted.
Meet with Jackie
Once you meet up with Jackie, you’re initiating the go-ahead to continue the questline, whether you’ve met up with Meredith or not. So head over to All Foods and interact with the intercom in order for Dum Dum to let you in.
Get to main production floor of All Foods
Go through the building’s main route until you come across a dead-end room. Climb the steps and go through the doorway of the deactivated mines, then open the door out to the main floor, where you’ll find the elevator to enter.
Talk to the Maelstomers
Dum Dum will want you to sit on the cough. Jackie refuses at first, and you’ve got a choice to make as to whether calm him down or let it escalate. If you don’t calm Jackie down, you’ll end up initiating combat and Royce will get away to be in a mechsuit at the end of the factory.
Dum Dum hands you an inhaler that you can choose to use or not, it doesn’t matter.
After the flathead’s presentation and the mention of Brick being paid, Royce comes up. Choose [Show Militech shard] just to prove you have it (it won’t be given away).
Afterwards, you can [Draw weapon] on Royce which will end up in his death. Doing so means you won’t have to attack him at the end of the factory while he’s in a mechsuit. Plus, you get his loot earlier rather than later.
Take the Flathead
After killing everyone, take the flathead.
Pass through the maintenance tunnel
Climb the ladder, then in the next room climb up the boxes. Hit the button for the production line to start so you can go through.
Escape from All Foods
Hop down two levels. Look beyond the barrier and deactivate the camera straight ahead so it doesn’t spot you while you set up an attack. To the left between the two rooms you’ll see another room with Brick in it. You can scan and deactivate the keypad if you have enough RAM to do so, or you can punch in the code.
When you go in the room, he’ll have a laser detonator focued on him. You can deactivate it within the next room or scan and deactivate that way.
If you save him, he’ll have your back later.
Continue through the factory until you’re in the final room where you’ll either encounter three soldiers, or see Royce in a mechsuit because you initiated combat before killing him earlier. After they’re dead, you can speak to either Gilchrist or Stout outside the factory, and then call Dex.
