Dan Hagar
I need your special talents for a demolition job.
The Shrouded Bandits constructed a blockade in the canyon just south of here, and it’s cut us off from Wellspring to the east. Take these explosive charges and place them on the gate. Here is my Sniper Rifle. Use it from the cover of the road, and be careful—the blockade is heavily defended.
You take out that blockade, and I’ll make it worth your while.

New Objective: Set the explosives on the barricade
The Sniper Rifle and ammo Dan gave you are more than adequate for completing this job. But if you ever need more Sniper Rounds, you can always come back to Halek and purchase more. Instead of taking your new buggy to the barricade, hop on the ATV you stole from the bandits outside the Wasted Garage and drive it toward the barricade. As you leave the Hagar Settlement, watch your speed to avoid approaching the barricade too quickly—you don’t want to draw fire from the bandits. Once the barricade is within view, park the ATV and take cover inside the giant sewer pipe on the left as you pull into the canyon. The broken area between the two pieces of pipe offers a great vantage point for sniping. The vertical overpass supports also offer good cover for sniping.. Take aim through the Sniper Rifle’s scope to scout for targets. The Sniper Rifle is extremely powerful, capable of killing with a single shot. However, make sure you score headshots to guarantee a kill. Prioritize the bandits wielding rocket launchers, as these enemies pose the biggest threat. Once you’ve picked off the bandits with rocket launchers, set your sights on the bandits manning the turrets mounted on the barricade.
Open Minded
Take careful aim with Dan’s Sniper Rifle to score headshots. If you manage to score ten headshots, you earn the Open Minded achievement/trophy. Don’t worry if you don’t get it now. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to score more headshots later.
As the incoming fire dwindles, cautiously advance toward the barricade on foot. Race to cover on the right side of the road, then scour the barricade once again through the Sniper Rifle’s scope. Reinforcements may have taken up positions on the barricade, so be ready to pick them off. Once the path is clear, approach the gate while carrying your Combat Shotgun. Now interact with the gate to place the explosives and run away. You have approximately 12 seconds to reach a safe distance before the explosives detonate.
New Objective: Tell Dan the job’s done
The road leading to Wellspring is now open. Find your ATV and drive back to the Hagar Settlement. Dan is happy to hear the road is open, but he’s afraid he’s running out of work for you. He’d like to keep you around, but fears your presence will soon gain the attention of the Authority. But before you leave, he does have one more job for you. You can either take Dan’s next job now, or visit Durar for a quick side job.
Durar’s Time Trial
Durar Hagar
Objective: Beat Durar’s best time.
I put together my own little time trial race. You want to give it a go?
Race down to the flag and back. Just look on your map if you get lost, but remember, the most direct route may not be the easiest.
If you manage to beat my time, I’ll give you a boost upgrade.

This is an easy time trial race with a worthwhile reward. From the Hagar Settlement you must race your buggy to the marked location, not far from where you exited the Wasted Garage, and then circle back. Make it back to the Hagar Settlement in less then 45 seconds to earn an Evenflow 2x Boost upgrade for your buggy. But don’t get ahead of yourself—focus on the course. At the start of the race, apply full gas and then use the boost function to get your buggy up to speed. Keep your eye on the boost meter at the bottom of the screen, allowing it to fully recharge between each application. Boost frequently while racing along the straight stretches of the course. As you near the Wasted Garage, race toward the blue column of light until it disappears, then turn around and head back to the Hagar Settlement. If you use your boost function wisely and avoid crashing, you’ll have no problem beating Durar’s time, securing the buggy upgrade. However, if you fail to beat the 45-second threshold, you can retry the race. While this job isn’t mandatory, don’t pass it up. The Evenflow 2x Boost doubles the duration of your boosts, allowing you to outrun any bandit vehicles you may encounter in the Wasteland.
