Deal With Jack And Joe
Climb up the water tower further to the objective marker where Jack and Joe are. Once you confront them, you will be presented with the firstset of choices, of which the resulting dialogue is the same and hasno effect on the story whatsoever. After that,you are going to make one of the two choices that will decide Jack and Joe’s fate:
I Will Help You
Choosing this will result in both leaving without a fight, and you’re able to progress with the quest further. However, this does unlock the side story“Moonshine”later, which lets you get to know both characters better.
I Won’t Help You
This choice will result in them throwing hands, and you will end up killing them to progress further.
Get The Water Flowing Again
After dealing with them,approach the pump to activate it. From there on, you will be presented with a major story choice toassign the water tower to either the Survivors or the Peacekeepers.
This will have amajor impact on the story, as both choices will unlock different story quests later on. So, think carefully about which faction you want to side with.
Search Barney’s Hideout
This objective will also play out according to the choice you made in assigning the water tower. But for now,just descend the tower and follow the marker to a motel where Barney is staying.
Once in the apartment, interact with awooden door next to the neon sign “Tavern Bar”. You will find a piece ofCommander Lucas’sskin, an incredibly important murder clue. Soon after, Barney appears in the apartment. This is where the choice you made previously made shows its effect.

Barney is enraged that you are searching in his apartment. A mini-boss fight will begin with him, which luckily doesn’t end up in you killing him.Sophiewill intervene after his health drops to a certain level. She stops both of you from fighting, and you are prompted to another objective“Wait for Sophie’s Call.”
You will need to wait around10-20 minutesto get the call, in which she tells you to meet her at Bazaar. Head over there to meet her and end the quest.
Water Tower Assigned To Peacekeepers
The same pattern will be followed as above when investigating the hideout. However, once Barney’s health drops to a certain level, you will beinterrupted by Aitor and the Peacekeepers, who arrest Barney. After which, Aitor will tell you to meet him at thePeacekeepers Metro Station.
