A courier transporting a crucial cargo destined for the Brood has gone astray. Huron, the trader in the Slag Heap, has drafted you in to track down the missing goods and, in the process, avoid ill feelings from the Brood’s volatile leader, the Shah. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to complete the No Honor Among Thieves side mission, including how to get into the locked house to talk to the Brood bandits.

Talk to the Brood bandits

After picking the quest from Huron, leave the Slag Heap and head southwest towards the mission marker on the map. The exact spot is marked in the image gallery above. Once you get there, you’ll notice a rundown house but you can’t get inside due to the front door being locked. You can try hitting it with a weapon, but it won’t open.

Head to the back of the house and you find a digger with its arm lodged into the roof of the house along with several red shipping containers. Go to the container that’s closest to the digger and climb inside. Destroy the wooden crates to clear the way then take a left into another container. Use the crates at the back to climb onto the roof. Get as close to the digger as you can, then back away and do a running jump to land on it. Use the digger arm to reach the attic of the house and drop down to the floor below through the gap on your left.

Search the bodies for clues

Per the mission objectives, check the four bodies for clues. The one you want is near the front door clad in a green jacket. On his body, you’ll find Edik the Dome’s PDA. Turns out Erik and another bandit called Docent weren’t too pleased with the Shah taking their cut. They planned to do something about it by catching the courier and ferrying the goods to the boiler house. As Erik’s dead body implies, things didn’t quite go to plan.

Pick up the Brood’s shipment from Docent

Exit through the front of the house and make your way southeast to the map marker, which is located in the Plant Boiler Station. The area is teeming with bandits. Approach cautiously, picking them off methodically to avoid an all out fight. Once the courtyard is clear. Use the crates and barrels to hop up to the second floor and into the building. Clear out any remaining bandits then go left and drop down through the hole to the lower level and approach Docent, who is sitting on an armchair near a TV in the small room.

He’ll try and strike a deal with you. You can choose to shoot him or negotiate. If you negotiate, he’ll give you coordinates for the Shah’s stash in the northwest of the Garbage region, which includes a powerful weapon from the mainland. He’ll also throw in Huron’s package for good measure, making it the best option of the two. Grab the blue crate shipment next to Docent and head out.
