Water Tower and Revolution

Main quests 8 and 9 on the Survivor side: the Horseshoe Water Tower and its faction choice, the side quests it opens, Revolution's explosives and the Master Windmill, and Hakon's hideout, the deadline for the early Bazaar side quests.

Water Tower starts as soon as The Raid ends. You climb the tall tower in southern Horseshoe, deal with Jack and Joe at the top and give the tower to a faction: on this run every facility goes to the Survivors, which also picks the next main quest, Revolution. Two side quests near the 'Maple' Windmill and Out of Your League open once the tower is assigned and are done before Revolution moves on. Revolution then sends you around Trinity, Horseshoe and the Quarry End border, and ends at Hakon's rooftop in Quarry End. Finishing it closes the early Bazaar side quests, so they come first. Left for later: the Houndfield sweep and Let's Waltz!, next.

Water Tower: the climb, the explosives and the top roomQuest step
Location
Old Villedor · Horseshoe – The tower is the tall landmark in southern Horseshoe, near the 'Maple' Windmill. Hop the fence from a wrecked car, deal with the infected at the base and lockpick the marked door (an easy lock). Climb inside on the yellow ledges and bars, taking each of the three explosives from its barrels as you reach that floor; kick down the ladders you pass. Above the third, break the boards and the window, jump to the hanging cage, then up to the last ledge and the boarded window of the top room.
Requires
Summary
Main quest 8: take the Horseshoe Water Tower back by climbing it and removing three explosives on the way up.

Inhibitors ×2: Horseshoe Water Tower, halfway upUpgrade
Location
Old Villedor · Horseshoe – In the Water Tower, on the floor where you take the third explosive (behind the green door), next to the stairs at the back of the room: open the GRE crate before climbing on. Take it before you turn the valve at the top, since it may vanish once the tower is assigned.
Requires
Summary
A GRE crate of Inhibitors (each 3 raise Health or Stamina by a rank); part of the 126.

Choice: Jack and Joe

In the top room Jack and Joe stop you. Talk instead of fighting, then pick "I will help you": they leave without a fight, and that keeps their later side quest, Moonshine, open. "I won't help you" or attacking means fighting both at once, and Moonshine never appears.

Location
Old Villedor · Horseshoe – Enter the top room through the boarded window: Jack and Joe confront you. Choose to talk, then "I will help you" in the timed answer (pausing stops the timer), and they leave.
Requires
Summary
The timed talk in the top room; sparing the pair keeps a later side quest open.

Choice: give the tower to the Survivors

Turning the valve asks which faction gets the tower. Pick the Survivors. The choice is permanent; Boot Licker needs all 7 facilities given to one faction, so one facility to the Peacekeepers loses it on this save. This tower also decides the next main quest: the Survivors lead to Revolution, which holds Alberto's 3 Inhibitors, and they open the Survivor side quests in Horseshoe.

Facility: Horseshoe Water Tower (Survivors)Hidden spoiler – activate to revealAchievementMinor spoiler
Location
Old Villedor · Horseshoe – In the top room, turn the big yellow valve; the alignment tutorial opens. Choose the Survivors: Horseshoe turns their colour and their first parkour reward, ziplines, appears in the district.
Requires
Summary
The first of the 7 facilities (Municipal Services, Boot Licker); assigning it also picks main quest 9.

Before Water Tower ends

Water Tower ends when you meet Sophie at the Bazaar after the Tango Motel. That closes Missing Persons (Damien's side quest, with the Baltazar tape on its route) and may close Sentimental Value (Maya's music box, needed for the Sparker chain), so finish both first if they are still open.

Water Tower: assign the tower, Barney's hideout in the Tango MotelHidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepMinor spoiler
Location
Old Villedor · Horseshoe – From the tower, go back east to the Tango Motel and in by the upper door near the roof (drawbridge or scaffolding; lockpick it). Through the gate on the left, slide the big wooden board at the back of the room aside and use Survivor Sense to pick up the evidence. Fight Barney to about a third of his health until Sophie steps in. Then wait for her radio call and meet her on the Bazaar's upper floor.
Requires
Summary
The rest of main quest 8: search Barney's room for evidence, then report to Sophie.

Stolen Goods: Teresa, DodgerQuest step
Location
Old Villedor · Horseshoe – Start with the Survivor standing at the Horseshoe Water Tower, then Teresa a little way inside its walls. Knock twice on the green door at the tower's base, climb in from the platform at the back to Anna, search the corner shed with Survivor Sense and follow the tracks back to her. Then see Dodger in the Bazaar, search the north warehouse (in by the window, past the electric trap) and the south one (lockpick, trap, wooden sheet), and settle with Dodger: the race to the flag on the church roof pays like the debt without costing you money. If he is not at the Bazaar yet, come back later.
Requires
Summary
A Survivor quest about missing flour that runs from the Horseshoe Water Tower to Dodger at the Bazaar. Winning the timed flag race settles the debt with the full reward at no cost.

Out of Your League: Nerys, Scott, Crocodile Flats (Tape)Hidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepMissablePoint of no returnMinor spoiler
Location
Old Villedor · the Bazaar – With True Friends done and the tower assigned, Nerys asks for help at the Bazaar. Talk to Ruud, head to Crocodile Flats in Houndfield, check the lockpicks at the door and follow Scott's trail (eight clues) to a building; climb the platforms round the corner to get in. Kill the two thugs, talk to Scott, and finish back at the Bazaar (the necklace detour only changes the reward).
Why you can lose it
The quest disappears once Revolution is finished. Finish it before the Master Windmill charges, when the Bazaar's people become unreachable for a while, and in any case before Hakon's hideout.
Point of no return

At the Water Tower a Survivor tells you the explosives are gone; follow the marker to the transport on the Quarry End border, clear the infected at the door and talk to the guard.

Last, lockpick Cillian's rooftop hut (Cillian's Hideout) and the locker by the computer: the fertilizer is at its bottom.

Finish the Bazaar side quests now

Once the Master Windmill charges go off, the Bazaar's people are out of reach for a while, and finishing Revolution closes these for good: The Ball is in Your Court (the three Quartermaster Pike reports and the Engine Bludgeon), True Friends and Out of Your League (For Alice #1). Finish any that are still open before you meet Alberto at the windmill.

Choice: Alberto's promise

Leaving the hideout, Hakon radios with a timed choice. Pick the line that keeps your promise to Alberto. It sends you to the Bazaar for an optional boss fight and a talk with Vincenzo before Hakon's hideout. Heading straight to the center skips that; the Bazaar can still be visited later.

Before Hakon's hideout

Reaching Hakon's hideout finishes Revolution. That closes The Ball is in Your Court (the three Quartermaster Pike reports and the Engine Bludgeon), True Friends, and Out of Your League with For Alice #1. Make sure all of them are done.

Choice: help Hakon

During the talk at the hideout an attack interrupts you and a timed choice appears. Pick the option to help Hakon. It starts the side quest Snipers' Alley, and finishing that keeps a later story choice open that this run's plan relies on. Leaving him goes straight to Let's Waltz!.

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.
