Waiting for Dodger is a Phantom Liberty gig from Mr. Hands in Coastview, Pacifica. Two NCPD officers, Bill Mitchell and Charles Wilson, struck a deal with Dodger, one of Kurt Hansen's men, and it went badly. Now they are held in Dodger's base, an old NCPD precinct turned drug drop. Stella, Bill's fiancée, hires V to get them out, and asks V not to kill any of Dodger's men.

Story

Boys in Blue

Mr. Hands finds it absurd in the journal. Two officers somehow ended up in the base of one of Hansen's men, Dodger. Until recently, the "base" was a working NCPD station. Two cops held prisoner in their own old precinct, now a drug drop? That is Dogtown all over. Before V charges in, Hands wants V to talk to the client, Stella, fiancée of one of the two "super troopers". He trusts V will not leave them hanging.

Stella

Stella meets V in a car. She gives V a key to the precinct, and begs V not to kill any of Dodger's men, as it would only make things worse.

The Basement

In the basement, V finds Charles soaked in blood, and a dead man on a table. Bill and Charles explain what happened, and that the only way out is their squad car in the garage. Through locked rooms and past more of Dodger's guards, they reach the garage, where Dodger is waiting.

Waiting for Dodger Walkthrough

Getting In

  1. Meet with Stella and get in her car.
  2. Take the key and go to the old NCPD precinct.
  3. Enter through the front door with Stella's key, past the guards at the desk.
  4. Or open the locked door on the right of the building with 15 Body, into a side room next to a room with one unaware guard.
  5. Or open the hatch on top of that side room with 10 Technical Ability, watched by one Barghest soldier.

Bill and Charles

  1. Take the lift in the big room down to the basement.
  2. Help open the door and talk to Charles and the stranger.
  3. Escort Bill and Charles toward the squad car, dealing with the camera and the guard at the coded door.
  4. At the second locked room, go back and override the small box in the previous room to open it.
  5. Take the Iconic machete from the airdrop container in the store room before the garage.

The Garage

  1. Enter the garage and secure it.
  2. Confront Dodger.
  3. Fight Dodger and his men, or talk him down.
  4. Talk to Bill and Charles.

Choices

Dodger

To get out without fighting Dodger, and with Bill and Charles alive, V must tell the whole truth, and must not have killed any Barghest soldier. Otherwise, Dodger turns hostile.

If V saves both officers and kills Dodger, Bill calls later, which starts the side job New Person, Same Old Mistakes. If the talk ends peacefully, Bill can later be found near Coyoacan in the Glen. He complains that Dodger is blackmailing him, and says it might have been better if V had killed him.

Rewards

Completing Waiting for Dodger pays €$ 8,000, 1,832 experience and 167 Street Cred. It also rewards Volkodav (missable) and Rosco (missable, dependent).

The gig pays eddies, experience and Street Cred. The store room holds the Iconic machete Volkodav, and Dodger drops the Iconic power revolver Rosco if he dies.

Tips

Stay unseen and use quickhacks as distractions to honour Stella's wish. Two more soldiers in the room before the garage can be knocked out without being seen.
