Welcome to our guide for The Hammer Falls mission in Starfield! The Hammer Falls is one of the faction missions you’ll have to complete during the Freestar Collective questline. You’ll start it automatically after you complete the First to Fight, First to Die Freestar Collective faction mission.
Go to HopeTown
Head back to the ship and set a course for HopeTown on planet Polvo in the Valo System. Leave your ship and enter HopeTech.
Confront Ron Hope
Speak with Mr. Hope about what you’ve learned. He can be found at the back of the shop floor behind the main desk. You’ll be presented with a couple of options during the conversation.
Accept Hope’s Offer
If you take Hope’s offer, you’ll be given 20,000 credits in exchange for the slate. Then you’ll return to the Marshal and inform the Marshal that the Major took his secrets with him to the grave. He’ll be disappointed but nothing serious will happen. If you choose this option and Sam is with you, he will really hate it.
Attack Him
If you choose to attack Hope, you’ll have to kill him and his guards. Afterward, speak with Birgit then leave HopeTown and return to the Rock. Speak with the Marshal to fill him in on all of the details.
Take Him In
If you try to take him (Sam loves “You’re going to turn yourself in…”) he’ll make it clear that that’s not an option. You’ll be forced to either agree with him and hand over the slate or attack him. They will end the same way as the above choices.
Talk to Marshal Blake
Regardless of the choice, you’ll have to return the Marshal and tell him what all went down. This will complete The Hammer Falls mission and the Freestar Collective faction mission questline. You’ll be rewarded 150 EXP, credits, a Freestar Ranger Badge, the Justifier rifle, Ranger Duelwear, Ranger Skip Pack, Ranger Space Helmet and a Ranger Spacesuit along with Star Eagle-class starship.
