Story Mission: The Widowmaker

• Prerequisites: Liberate Fall’s End
• Rewards: “The Widowmaker” (Vehicle: Unlocked in Shops), Medium Resistance (Holland Valley)
• Details: The Project at Eden’s Gate has claimed the notorious Widowmaker. Commandeered by Mary May’s late father. Its return to Fall’s End would surely lift some spirits.

MISSION Commencement

Start this mission by speaking to Mary May Fairgrave inside the Spread Eagle Bar, at the main drag of the recently liberated Fall’s End. She reckons that stealing back her daddy’s big-rig cab, known affectionately as the Widowmaker, would be a great way to piss off the cult.

GO TO the Grain Elevator

Leave Fall’s End and head roughly northeast to the grain elevator where the truck is being held.

GET INSIDE the Warehouse

The grain elevator is lightly guarded (expect around six foes, one by a mounted gun in the north part of the main yard between the two main structures). The warehouse containing the Widowmaker has two locked doors on the east and west sides. You can unlock these if you have the perk, or grab the keys from the white canopy to the southeast.

OPTIMAL Path

Approach from the northeast, climbing the overhang of the grain elevator between the tower and shop building. Pass the ladder, and go to the lower roof to the boarded-up window and break it. Head inside, drop down, and maneuver through the tight interior. Next, leap and grab the ledges inside the tower until you reach the opening atop the tower . This has the added benefit of allowing you to gather items as part of Prepper Stash Mission: Vespiary.

At the tower opening, take the zip line over the yard to the warehouse roof . Then simply drop through the skylight and access the Widowmaker. This path can be completed with or without enemy engagement.

OTHER Paths

Drive through foes from the main road entrance (north). Swing the truck at the east warehouse door and leap out. Unlock the door using the truck to protect you.

Sneak in and silently execute the two guards on the warehouse’s western side. Unlock the door on this side of the building.

Use the same route as the optimal path, but climb the ladder and then sit atop the shop building’s roof . Fire down on any foes until the coast is clear.

Snipe from the roadside boulder with “Sloth” painted on it. It offers elevation and good visuals into the yard, and allows you to take out the mounted gunner before you advance. Stay here to grenade any reinforcements, if they are summoned.

Or fly a plane, and parachute out directly above the warehouse, steering yourself onto the roof and through any of the four skylights.

TAKE CONTROL of the Widowmaker

RAM through the Roadblocks

After entering the Widowmaker’s cab, the warehouse garage door opens. Accelerate onto the road, swing left, and follow Mary May’s instructions: You have nine cult roadblocks to ram through. In addition, expect cult pickup trucks and ATVs to periodically try to engage (just fire at and ram them). Fortunately, this big-rig lives up to its name, as it’s incredibly durable and features machine guns you can fire; use them to strafe roadblocks as you approach.

When ramming roadblocks, steer at the gaps between parked vehicles so you don’t strike them head-on and slow down. Be aware of any innocents if you’re gunning roadblocks from range. Shoot gas trucks from range or avoid them as you pass to ensure you don’t detonate them too close to your rig. Stay at maximum speed throughout.

PARK the Widowmaker Next to the Spread EagleTALK to Mary May

After you pass through the ninth cult roadblock, head to Fall’s End, (carefully) park the truck next to the Spread Eagle, and chat with Mary May to conclude this mission. The truck is yours!
