List of Freestar Rangers missions
From here, we’ll be going through what happens in each Freestar Rangers mission, so if you want to avoid any spoilers for this questline, stop reading now.
Quest | Description |
---|---|
Job Gone Wrong | The first time you enter Akila City in the Cheyenne system (likely with Sam Coe), you’ll see that a bank robbery at the local bank has gone wrong and several civilians have been taken hostage by the bank robbers. After talking with Marshall Daniel Blake, you’ll negotiate with the bandits in an attempt to free the hostages. After completing the quest, you’ll be given the chance to join the Freestar Rangers as a Deputy. |
Deputized | Your first job for the Rangers is to complete any mission from the Freestar Rangers mission board. Once this is done, Emma Wilcox will send you to help a farmer on the nearby Montara Luna who is being extorted. After killing the criminals, you’ll find some evidence on them containing crucial information on the whereabouts of a stolen ship. |
Where Hope Is Built | During your investigation of the stolen ship, you rescue a fellow Ranger, Nia Kalu, by repairing her ship. The two of you then take on some Spacers in space combat before you both head to Hopetown to meet Ron Hope, the CEO of HopeTech. He’ll tell you more about the stolen ship and that it was last seen in Neon. |
Shadows in Neon | Heading to Neon on Volii Alpha in the Volii system to hunt down the stolen HopeTech ship, you and Jaylen Pryce, a local Ranger, will chat with an informant named Billy Clayton about the ship. Before this, he needs some help first, dealing with a loan shark. You deal with this loan shark through the Persuasion skill, paying the loan, or killing them, and then Clayton will send you towards someone named Grace Early. She will give you some an encrypted slate containing evidence concerning a group of Freestar soldiers called The First. Evidence in hand, you head back to Akila to analyse it. |
Surgical Strike | The evidence from Shadows in Neon leads you to hunt down a woman named Maya Cruz. She’s reportedly being treated at a medical facility called The Clinic in the Narion system, but upon arriving, you find she has already escaped. You track her to an abandoned mine, and after fighting your way through, she reveals that she only has weeks to live, before giving you a slate with some more evidence. |
First to Fight, First to Die | With Maya’s evidence, you now have enough to hunt down The First. You and some other Rangers head to Arcturus II, where space combat ensues. After landing on the planet, you fight your way through a mech factory, eventually reaching and battling their leader, Paxton Hull. Once Paxton is dead, you loot his corpse to find another slate revealing a major twist. |
The Hammer Falls | The slate from Paxton reveals that the head of this whole operation is none other than Ron Hope. He had attempted to remove farmers from their land in order to use it to mine for minerals. You’re posed with the choice of hiding his secret, taking a bribe, arresting him, or killing him. No matter the outcome, Mashall Blake rewards you with a promotion to full Freestar Ranger, ending the Freestar Rangers questline. |
