Fighting for Abundance | Chapter 1 Quests The Technomancer Guide

The chapter contains information about the main quests for the Abundance faction: The Deserters, Break the opposition, Personal protection, Down to work! and Counterattack. You need to complete all of the quests if you want to continue with the storyline.

Last update: 02 February 2017

Fighting for Abundance is the first quest which consists of smaller tasks. You will be joining the fights as a part of the local military, but you don't have to try to complete the tasks flawlessly. At the end of the chapter the Abundance will become your enemy. During that time you should be building a good reputation with other factions: Vory, Mutants and the Opposition.

The deserters

Rewards for completing the quest: optionally you will receive the quest: Soldier's Bitterness, as well as rewards in accordance to the choices you make during the quest - more on that at the end of the chapter.

How to unlock: after reaching the Exchange go meet with captain Eliza Major.

Tasks:

  • Find the deserters [time to complete: 1 day and 12 hours]
  • Kill the deserters
  • Eliminate Sergeant Boris Ward
Captain Eliza Major - she will be the one you report to and get new quests from. - Fighting for Abundance | Chapter 1 Quests - Chapter 1 quests - The Technomancer Game Guide
Captain Eliza Major - she will be the one you report to and get new quests from.

This is the first quest you receive from captain Eliza Major while working for the Abundance faction. The quest can be completed in a multitude of ways, although most of them will yield the same rewards. Your task is to kill (acquire Serum from the enemies you defeat) four groups of deserters and to catch their leader - Boris Ward.

Note - completing this quest in accordance to the guidelines will worsen your Karma significantly (because of killing enemies).

Select your companions - those can be changed at any moment of the game. - Fighting for Abundance | Chapter 1 Quests - Chapter 1 quests - The Technomancer Game Guide
Select your companions - those can be changed at any moment of the game.

Before venturing to complete the task you will be given two companions by the captain that can be assigned to the team - David Ranger - a shield bearer - and Jeffrey Hunter - a rifleman. From now on you can manage your team by standing next to the wall going from the canteen to the locker room.

To complete the quest you must beat the enemies and then kill them by extracting Serum from their bodies. - Fighting for Abundance | Chapter 1 Quests - Chapter 1 quests - The Technomancer Game Guide
To complete the quest you must beat the enemies and then kill them by extracting Serum from their bodies.

A first group of three deserters can be found in the Slums, before entering the Underworks. After killing all three of them you will receive a notification about completing part of the quest. You will meet two more groups like that in the Underworks, on the two sides of the location. The marker located in front of you should be completed at the end of the quest. There you will find Boris, but if you decide to venture there before completing the rest of the quest (killing deserters), that part won't be completed.

Note - you can't leave the Underworks after entering the location before you get rid of Boris! Otherwise the mission will be a failure.

Boris can be found in a place where the Underworks are linked with the underground of the Exchange. - Fighting for Abundance | Chapter 1 Quests - Chapter 1 quests - The Technomancer Game Guide
Boris can be found in a place where the Underworks are linked with the underground of the Exchange.

After reaching Boris you must eliminate him and his three underlings. Watch out for grenades that the enemy will launch from time to time and for each shot he performs - he often launches a series of bullets from his weapon, dealing high damage on a wide area. If you aren't playing the Guardian class you should rush to attack Boris as soon as possible.

After beating the mean decide about his fate... - Fighting for Abundance | Chapter 1 Quests - Chapter 1 quests - The Technomancer Game Guide
After beating the mean decide about his fate...

After dropping the health of the enemy to about 50%, Boris will stop the encounter and initiate a conversation. If you don't plan on letting the man get away, all of the other options will lead to the same conclusion - the fight will be continued. If you are planning on letting the man escape, beat him as soon as the encounter starts and ignore his underlings. If you, however, knock Boris down you won't be able to defeat his underlings anymore. The fate of Boris rests in your hands: you can either arrest him or kill him in accordance to the quest guidelines.

After completing each task for the Abundance and reporting to the captain, go to the quartermaster for your reward. - Fighting for Abundance | Chapter 1 Quests - Chapter 1 quests - The Technomancer Game Guide

Afterwards, head into the building. After a short introduction with the guests leave the building. Your companions will now leave you, and your task will be to dispose of the bandits approaching the area that will be targeting the escorted VIPs. You will first encounter a group of regular bandits coming at you in pairs from two different directions (4 waves), the last one equipped with a rifle. Your guests can, in theory, die but they aren't that vulnerable and can be treated as living shields. The quest won't end when one of the VIPs dies, but if you fail to protect them and all of them die, you will be forced to reload previous checkpoint.

You will stumble upon two more groups of enemies, but this time the escorted VIPs will remain at a safe distance. - Fighting for Abundance | Chapter 1 Quests - Chapter 1 quests - The Technomancer Game Guide

Each group can be intimidated or you can use the abilities of your character to convince them / to help them - thanks to that you will earn their sympathy.
