Choice of Reward[]
This incident has two different "optimal" endings, depending on which game mode you are playing:
- Freeplay Mode: Complete the call normally, in an attempt to capture the killer and receive +2 Career Points for successful completion of the Crossbow Killer objective.
- Campaign Mode: Since there it no reward for capturing the killer, it's better to avoid a fight with a dangerous criminal. Get the caller to lose the killer in a crowd.
Below are instructions on how to do either of these things as efficiently as possible.
Optimal Conversation - Freeplay Mode[]
Following this conversation flow will allow you to capture the Crossbow Killer with the maximum Reputation reward and the fewest clicks necessary.
Optimal Conversation - Campaign Mode[]
