How to unlock “The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman”
The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman will be available right after completing the main mission “Get it together” from the Phantom Liberty expansion. Mr. Hands will get in touch, and provide the coordinates to meet the client.
Head to the Southwest of Dogtown and look for Briana, your client. Please note that you must do this between 10 pm and 6 am, otherwise, the mission won’t begin despite being at the right place.
You’ll notice a small crowd having some memorial, the sadness and grief are almost palpable.
Approach the crowd and speak to Briana, she’s the woman who contacted Mr. Hands. The reason for you to be here is the cause of all the mourning, eight civilians were massacred by a former Barghest soldier named Leon Rinder, most of them were very young. The families want justice, and you’re the one who’s going to deliver it.
Briana will give you the coordinates of the Motel where Leon Rinder is located. It’s just a few hundred meters North of your current position. It is heavily guarded by Scavs so make sure to be prepared.
Go to Find Leon Rinder in the Motel where he is hiding
There’s one guard at the entrance of the Motel and three more Scavs near the area. As soon as you start shooting all four of them will immediately try to take you down.
Opening the door will reveal a receptionist and another guard. None of them are looking in the door’s direction, which gives you a few seconds to eliminate both of them without making a fuzz.
There are four more Scavs on this floor, two are inside the room on the right side of the hall and the other two are in the “lobby” area on the left. Using “Her Majesty” is the best option if you like the stealth approach. Once this floor is clear, go upstairs.
As soon as you enter the first room, you’ll see two more Scavs. None of them are particularly aware of your presence, as soon as any of them start shooting all other enemies in the building will go after you. Since many of the rooms are quite small it makes it very hard to fight against multiple enemies, especially if you’re playing on the higher difficulties.
Find the stairs that take you to the upper floor, there’s a big hall with multiple rooms but there’s not much going on here.
There are some Scavs but they’re not a threat. Their state is almost comatose, standing in front of them won’t make them attack you and a single hit will take them out.
Defeat Yasha Ivanov
The third and last floor is almost empty, simply walk in a straight line until the end of the hall. There’s going to be a door on the left side, immediately after opening a small sequence will trigger. A big and bulky Scav will grab and throw you away from the room.
A mini-boss fight will begin, Yasha Ivanov is the last standing man between you and Leon Rinder. He might not look like much but that doesn’t mean you should underestimate this enemy.
Yasha uses a shotgun and is considerably fast for his size and weight. Normally, an enemy with those characteristics wouldn’t present a problem but since this place is very confined you have to be extra careful.
This guy has an active camouflage that can be very annoying, the lighting in this place changes a lot, and losing sight of him can be the difference between life and death. He is also armed with BioHaz grenades (which he is immune to) that will be used when you get too far for him to use his shotgun. The gas of these grenades will reveal his silhouette.
The easiest way to defeat him is by staying in medium range, unloading a powerful weapon on him, and then repositioning yourself. Repeat this multiple times. Staying too close for too much time will make you a vulnerable target, the grenades can be easily avoided by keeping constantly moving. If you’re afraid of losing sight of him remember to use the map to pinpoint his position.
Decide what to do with Leon Rinder
Once Yasha has been taken care of, you can finally deal with Leon Rinder. He’s not hostile and even greets you (kind of). As you will see, he’s just a shell of his former self but it’s clear that what made him kill all those civilians was cyberpsychosis.
The Scavs have removed all his chrome and he has no intention of going back to his old ways. But that doesn’t mean that he’s innocent.
In theory, there are two options:
- kill Rinder and take his dog tag
- take the dog tag and let him live.
In exchange for your mercy, he’ll provide the coordinates of his stash. You can shoot him at any point in the conversation, be careful with that trigger finger.
If you plan to do what Briana asked then just deal with the murderer.
If you decide to accept his proposal then just take his Dog Tag and go back to Briana. This is one of those missions that would make you consider both choices, doing the right thing or taking advantage of the situation for personal gain.
But wait, what if I told you that you can do both things? Accept Rinder’s proposal and take his Dog Tag. This will trigger the job “Addicted to Chaos”. Once this job is in your Journal, shoot Leon Rinder.
Deliver the Dog Tag to Briana, she will be most pleased and the contract with Mr. Hands will be closed. As a reward for this mission, you will receive eight thousand eddies.
Begin the “Addicted to Chaos Mission”, and follow the map until you get to a small storage room. Inside it, you will find the Iconic weapon “Dezerter” an extremely powerful double-barrel shotgun.
Before acquiring the weapon it might show up as a Tier 4 Iconic, this is a bug that happens every now and then with Tier 5 Iconic weapons found on Phantom Liberty missions. Once it’s in your inventory, you’ll see that it properly appears as a Tier 5 Iconic weapon.
This shotgun fires explosive rounds that can one-shot many enemies, but doing so will engulf you in flames (you read that right). You can learn more about other weapons in our Iconic Items Guide for Phantom Liberty.
