Broadcast and the VNC Tower

Broadcast from the Fish Eye to the top of the VNC Tower: the Garrison Electrical Station for the Survivors, the tower's dog tags and Inhibitors, the Grappling Hook and the transmitter for Frank, then the pickups you glide to from the tower roof.

This stretch is Broadcast, the 16th story quest, which starts with a radio call soon after Cathedral. It runs from the Fish Eye to the Garrison Electrical Station and then up the VNC Tower, the tallest building in the city, in the middle of Garrison. You arrive with the Paraglider, the UV Flashlight, lockpicks and the GRE key; the quest hands over the GRE Detector and the Grappling Hook. Two moments matter: search the body after the fight in the power distribution room, and give the transmitter to Frank at the very top. After the quest the tower's lobby elevator goes to the roof whenever you like, and the second half of this section uses it as a launch point for gliding pickups. Keep the Inhibitors you find unspent. The rest of Garrison (its windmills, metro station, anomalies and other airdrops) comes after a trip back to Old Villedor.

Location
Central Loop · the Fish Eye – When Matt calls after Cathedral (it may take until dusk), go to the Fish Eye canteen: the guard by the stairs right of the bar lets you up to the meeting with Jack and Juan. Afterwards talk to Lawan on the upper level, then visit Frank's room beside the canteen (optional for the quest): the tape is on the dresser.

Windmills before the station

Switch on Garrison's windmills 'Juniper' and 'Teak' before you reach the Garrison Electrical Station: with the station handed out first, the district can end up with the Renegades and its settlement quizzes may not open (History Quiz and Persons of Interest Quiz, each holding a collectible). Both windmills are in reach now, before Broadcast sends you to the station.

Windmill: JuniperArea
Location
Central Loop · Garrison – Before you head for the station: a short way south of the Fish Eye, on Garrison's east side. Kill the enemies at its foot first, or the switch at the top won't work. From the planks, ride the moving bars up one after another (jump when the next one lines up), turn round onto the boards and climb the ladder to the switch.

One of the 17 windmills for Don Quixote, and a save point with UV light, a bed and a stash. It opens the Cadet Academy settlement, where History Quiz waits.

Choice: give the station to the Survivors

Switching the station on asks which faction gets it. Pick the Survivors, as for every facility in this run. The choice is permanent, and Boot Licker needs all seven facilities on one side: one facility to the Peacekeepers loses it on this save. With Garrison on the Survivor side, the district's Survivor quests open, Persons of Interest Quiz among them. Take the tape before you switch the station on.

Facility: Garrison Electrical Station (Survivors)Achievement
Location
Central Loop · Garrison – Use the control panel. Renegades break in first: clear them (the balconies outside give you room, and a bow keeps the heavy-hitting officer at bay), then use the panel again and choose the Survivors.

Choice: Leon's letter

In the room before the power distribution room, a wounded Peacekeeper, Leon, asks you to carry a letter to his wife. Agree ("Sure thing, Leon"). It starts the side quest Last Will, the direct way into the Wall of Valor quests, whose dog tags and tapes count toward Archivist and Audiophile. Refusing closes Last Will on this save.

Before you use the antenna panel

Using the panel ends Broadcast. Chris's Dog Tag, the Memento on the infected Peacekeeper in the power distribution room, can't be picked up after that on this save; if you missed it, a copy may come later at the PK Floating Fortress, but don't count on it.

Choice: the transmitter goes to Frank

The panel asks who gets control of the transmitter. Give it to Frank. This run follows the Survivor quests that choice leads to, Nightrunners and The Breakthrough, and the late side quest Afterparty needs it too. The choice is final on this save.

Optional: the Juan path

Because you helped Juan in Welcome On Board, the panel's other option gives the transmitter to Juan, which leads to Spy Game and The Colonel instead. No trophy needs them. To see them without another run, back up the save before you use the panel: upload it to PS Plus cloud storage (PS5) or copy it to a USB drive (PS4/PS5) with auto-sync turned off; Xbox players use the cloud save the same way, and on PC you copy the save folder. Copying it back puts the save at this moment again, so do that only after this run is done. If a backup won't restore, the Juan path needs another New Game+ run.

About this guide

Two runs on any difficulty. Run 1 plays the whole story with every collectible, gives all seven facilities to the Survivors and ends with one ending; a save backup made outside the game at the last door before the finale lets you watch a second ending by replaying only the last two quests, not the whole game. After the credits the city stays open for cleanup and Bloody Ties. Run 2 is New Game+ on the other faction's path for the third ending. The game has no manual saves, so the backup steps say how to copy your save on each platform; without them, each extra ending needs another New Game+ run. Two trophies need other players.
