Fan Zone

Availability: After “Higher Education”

Location: You Receive the Message on the East Side of Town

Rewards: 10,000 Survivor XP and $1,500

Difficulty: Hard

A message is audible if you get close to the Fan Zone on the eastern side of Old Town. Get even closer to the source and track the quest that you receive to find out where to go. Noah (with Embers) will also give you a tip about this message. There’s a barricade around the center, but careful jumping and a Firecracker for distraction can get you inside.

Look on the main floor for the elevator, then call it down and ride the car up. Search the upper floor for an explanation of what’s going on. A conference room to the left has a Staff Card, Pistol, and a good supply of ammo.

Use the card to open the recording room in the corner of the building. One of the two doors into it is barricaded, but the other isn’t. Go in there and look for an adjoining computer room. Turn off the computer, search the room, and return to the elevator.

Try to use it, but get into the shaft above when it stops. Climb through the vents and drop back down into the floor you were just searching. Use a ranged weapon to fight the attacking psycho (he has a Military Rifle). Or, charge with a really powerful melee weapon and attack again and again to prevent him from firing.

Kill this enemy and then turn the power back on. Search that room for a variety of Throwing Stars, and then use the elevator to get back to the ground floor. This completes the quest, but you still get $1,500 from Noah (at Troy’s Safe Zone).
