Below is a walkthrough on The Deserter side quest in Dying Light 2 Stay Human. To obtain this quest, speak with Meyer at the PK Floating Fortress in The Wharf after completing the Broadcast story quest.
Talk to PKs who could know Bart
Speak with the following people:
- Mateo near the mess hall
- Magda in the infirmary
- Garrett along the walkway across from the infirmary
- Peacekeeper sitting next to a bunkbed
Search Bart’s bunk
Follow the objective to search the bottom of the top bunk to find Liam’s Drawing #1 then speak with the Conscript standing nearby.
Ask Stach about Bart
Travel to the Fish Eye in New Dawn Park and speak with Stach upstairs.
Ask the field workers about Bart
Travel to the pumpkin patch southeast of the Fish Eye. Speak with the guy smoking next to a bathtub and the guys past the tomatoes. Head across the wooden bridge and speak with the guy with the clipboard.
Search the apartment
Head a short ways east and go into the skyscraper. Investigate the following:
- Piano
- Liam’s drawing #5 on the floor on the second level
- Liam’s drawing #3 and #4 on a couch in Liam’s room
- Playing Card – Joker – Steve’s business card on the bed in the upstairs bedroom
When you pick up the card, a cutscene with Clint will trigger. We told him that we weren’t Bart or Andy and were able to get a little info out of him about Steve.
Interrogate Steve
Return to the Fish Eye and speak with Steve who is leaning against the wall with sunglasses on. You’ll have to make a choice on whether to do him a favor or mention that Clint is waiting for him outside.
Rap for Steve
If you choose the favor, he’ll ask you to rap for him. Head on over to the mic and choose what you want.
Talk to Steve
Return to Steve and speak with him.
Look for Bart near the old coffee shop
Travel to the objective in the central part of Garrison and investigate the remains of an Infected by a broken window.
Search the area for Bart
Follow the footprints into a nearby building. Look at the Liam drawing #2 by the boarded door where the footprints end.
Return to the old coffee shop and climb to the upper part of the building to find a room with UV lights. Interact with a closed door to speak with Bart. You can either agree to help him or not. We chose to agree to help him. Andy will hand over the coded message and his dog tags. A cutscene with Clint will trigger. You’ll have to make a choice again on whether to protect the family or not. If you choose to protect the family, you’ll have to fight Clint and his men.
Report back to Meyer
Return to the PK Floating Fortress and speak with Meyer to complete the quest. If you can either tell her Bart is dead or not. You can also either give her the map or not. We chose to give her the map and she was appreciative.
