Drifter is behind enemy lines, and Bael plans on firing his new weapon on the Last City to get rid of all the Guardians and Ghosts who live there.
After acquiring a shuttle and providing Imperium disguises, you will need to make your way to the Imperium base and use the Splicer Shank to take down its shield generators.
Only by pushing forward with this plan can you prevent the deaths of countless lives in the Last City and maybe save Drifter along the way.
How To Get The Long Con Mission?
The Long Con becomes available after you have reached Quest Step 41 of the Renegades Quest, which previously had you obtaining Imperium Uniforms.
You may access this mission from the Lawless Frontier destination or may launch it directly when viewing the Renegades Quest’s steps.
The Long Con Mission Walkthrough
The mission begins with you in the cargo bay of the NLS Cruiser, which is where you may prepare what Renegade Abilities you want to equip.
Head into the shuttle to begin your departure, and this will bring you to Artesia Mons, where you will be in a shipping yard.
As you continue making your way forward, you will encounter combatants and will have to survive their assault until none are left.
Proceed to the next area where there are several treetop platforms and make your way to the Tower’s Emitters, which are all connected to one device.
Shoot each of the emitters (glowing red panels) to destroy them, leaving you to take out all 4 of them before you may continue.
Fight your way past the combatants that attack you, make your way to the next area by following the waypoint.
The next area you will be in is the Cliffside Redoubt, and 3 Psions must be taken out before proceeding with the mission.
You may find the first 2 Psions as soon as you enter the area, and they will be tucked away behind barriers that you need to make your way into.
The last Psion will be far ahead, also within a barrier, and once you have defeated them, clear out the remaining combatants in the area.
The next area will be the vehicle depot, which is where you need to access the power conduits by deploying Ghost at a nearby terminal.
Don’t forget to interact with the Rally Point to replenish your Ammo and Energy, as you will need it, since Ghost will need to be defended.
Defeat all the enemies that make their way towards you and wait for Ghost to reach 100% progress in overriding the Barrier Protocols.
If Ghost is interrupted during this process, you will need to clear the combatants that are near him, or else he will not continue.
Some enemies may drop Barrier Passcode Fragments, which can be picked up and will make the Barrier Protocol Override finish faster.
Once the override is complete, head to the room to your left where a pickup is marked and take the Unstable Power Unit.
Make your way to the Power Conduits, which are opposite the room you just entered, and throw the Unstable Power Unit at the target. (Be careful, you may be damaged by the explosion)
Head back to the Power Conduit, and the Splicer Shank will begin hacking into it, but this is interrupted, and the Shank short-circuits. (Drifter calls you and gives you instructions to meet with him)
From here on, there will be no combat, and instead, you are to peacefully walk through the marked door and will be let through.
Proceed with making your way to the console and interact with it to shut off the shield generators, which causes a rewards chest to appear.
Continue by making your way to the control room by accessing the panel at the side and going through the door after opening it. (A cutscene begins, and the mission ends afterward)
The Long Con Mission Rewards
After completing The Long Con, you will be able to proceed with the Renegades Quest, continuing its story that nears the end.
During the mission, it is possible to get loot as drops from enemies, and there is a guaranteed reward chest after you disable the shield generator. (Provides Renegades Legendary Item)
Verdict
You successfully infiltrated the Imperium base and fought through its defenses, though it seems Bael managed to stay one step ahead of your progress.
Despite this, disabling the shield generator was a success, and Bael’s interference caused the Drifter to sustain injuries, setting the stage for the next confrontation.
With Nightfall Station now vulnerable, Blue has a plan to launch a decisive attack, bringing the conflict with the Imperium closer to its final resolution.
