Half Truths in Advertising Walkthrough
Meet Willard with Inez
With Inez in the party, travel to the ACS Undisputed Claim and head to the Value-Added Esplanade section of the ship. You’ll then want to go to the Head Office Tower and use the elevator there to reach Willard Konnen’s Office.
Exit the elevator, take a left, and head through the blue door on the right.
Before speaking with Willard, if you have the Pickpocket perk, you can steal his keycard from him and use it to access his computer. This will provide you with a unique dialogue option when speaking with him.
You can also use that keycard to access the vent behind him, leading to a locked room with Scientist Margo Dunkel inside. Speak with her! If you have the Psychopath perk, you’ll get some fun dialog!
Speak with Willard to discuss the possibility of shifting the program’s focus. After some persuasion, he’ll agree to it if Inez passes a test proving that a grafted soldier is better than a regular soldier. Willard will then send the group to Praetor.
Attend a Mission Briefing on Praetor
When you land on Praetor, travel south to Auntie’s Border Camp. When you arrive, speak with Correspondent Orlin Crawford.
Raid the Blockade on Praetor
To reach the western side of Praetor, we went through the Automech Production Facility in the central part of Praetor. To enter, simply use the Blockade Access Codes that you were given by Crawford.
Once inside, you’ll have several options on how to clear out the area. The first option is to just go in guns blazing.
For the second option, you can get the machine to fight as many of the enemies as it can until they finally take it down. You will then just need to do the cleanup! If you choose to go this route, head up the stairs on the right, then take another right.
Enter the room on the left and loot the keycard from the crate. With the keycard in hand, exit the room and head right, passing through the doorway.
Enter the only door on the right and interact with the terminal inside.
Tossball Card: Blaine Hodge – On the table across from the above terminal you’ll find this card just waiting for you to pick it up!
The last option is to free Auntie’s Choice captives and have them help you fight!
Free Auntie’s Choice Captives
To free the Auntie’s Choice captives, start at the western gate. Climb the crates to the left and go down the stairs. You’ll find the keycard on the container under the pavilion.
Once you have the keycard, head through the nearby door to find the captives. Put the keycard in the receptacle to release the prisoners!
Unseal the Eastern Gate
To unseal the eastern gate, pull the switch on the raised walkway to the left of the eastern gate.
Give an Interview
After opening the eastern gate, head on through and speak with Correspondent Orlin Crawford.
Return to Willard
With the mission complete, return to Willard on the ACS Undisputed Claim. As a reward for completing his task, you will receive Inez’s Advanced Mod Kit.
