Freedom of the Press Walkthrough
To enter the building through the front door you’ll need Technical Ability 8. Alternatively, jump up onto the dumpster near the front door to reach the roof then jump down through the ceiling.
Once inside, head through the lobby to enter a hallway. Crouch under the laser in the hallway. Once you turn the corner, take an immediate right to avoid the turret at the other side of the room.
From here, follow the path then head up the ladder and drop down into the cluster of mannequins. Be careful of the turret in the room to the right of you. You’ll need to sprint into this room towards the left side to avoid its fire! Jump over the laser (or disarm it if you have Technical Ability 5) then run straight ahead.
Head up the stairs then enter through the door at the end of the walkway. Head through the next door on the right to encounter Max. Select “Nope, I’m not.” so he doesn’t shoot himself.
Next, select the following options to convince him to speak with Regina: “Regina was your mentor?”, “You dying wouldn’t change a thing.” and “She deserves a chance. Just talk to her.” When he agrees, Regina will text you that the car is waiting outside.
Head through the door across the way and follow the path down a flight of yellow stairs to the car. Max will automatically follow you. Once he gets in the car, leave the area then head to the nearby drop box to collect your reward and complete the gig.
