Destroying Fairfield or Westport is a choice you have to make at the end of The Outer Worlds 2 main quest, The Saboteur of Paradise. However, the decision must not be binary.
Let’s see all the options and their consequences!
Should You Save Fairfield or Westport in The Outer Worlds 2?
At the end of The Saboteur of Paradise main story quest, you can choose the landing spot of the Vox Relay Station. The default landing place is Fairfield, however, there’s a handle under the screen that lets you change the location. The game tells you that you need to evacuate the station as soon as possible, but feel free to ignore the warning. You can take your time, considering all options.
Send the Vox Relay Station to Fairfield and Save Westport?
If you leave the area without interacting with the console, the Vox Relay Station automatically hits the town of Fairfield, obliterating all towns and NPCs, save for Ethel, who is part of Inez’s companion quest. All Fairfield-related side quests become unavailable. Your standing with the Auntie’s Choice faction decreases by 10 points.
Send the Vox Relay Station to Westport and Save Fairfield?
If you switch the Vox Relay Station’s drop-off point to Westport, the town is completely destroyed. The only survivor is Zeb, the NPC involved in Niles’ companion quest. Other than that, you cannot complete any other side quests in Westport. If Inez is with you on the Vox Relay Station, she asks you to destroy Westport and save Fairfield. Pleasing her allows you to keep her as a companion. Otherwise, she leaves. Your reputation with the Protectorate faction decreases by 10 points.
How to Save Westport’s Residents
If you have completed The Brain Benders of Auntie’s Choice, the second side quest for Minister Milverstreet, you can convince Westport’s residents to move to Fairfield. Should you choose to drop the Vox Relay Station on Westport, the town is still destroyed, but at least the residents survive. Keep in mind that you can only do this if you have sided with Minister Milverstreet.
How to Send the Vox Relay Station Into Space in The Outer Worlds 2
You can be free of the burden of destroying Fairfield or Westport by saving both towns. This is the best outcome. You can do this by sending the Vox Relay Station into space.
Send the Relay Station Into Space
This choice is available only if your Hacking skill is at least level 4 and you have Bypass Shunts. If necessary you can load an earlier save and level up Hacking. Otherwise Bypass Shunts are found as loot and bought from vending machines. Check out the vending machines on the Vox Relay Station to purchase Bypass Shunts.
See If Hitting It Does Anything
This is another way to launch the Vox Relay Station into space, but you can do so only if your character has the Lucky Trait. This is one of the options available during character creation.
