Walkthrough
At the bar in the Bazaar in Trinity, a shady figure named Dodger can be found sitting at a table. Despite some hesitation at first, Dodger is willing to give Aiden an errand. A delivery guy named Hubert did not check in to deliver his goods. Dodger asks Aiden to check in on him. Hubert lives in the tallest building on the edge of Trinity Court, opposite the Bazaar, in Houndfield. Hubert's hideout is said to be difficult to enter as he has a questionable reputation with the residents of the city. Dodger gives Aiden the password "Sayonara" so Hubert knows Dodger sent him, and then sends Aiden on his way.
The building is located in eastern Houndfield, and is recognizable by the red shutters on the windows. Enter the building and use survivor sense to track the footsteps of Hubert. They will lead to a hole in the wall with a yellow pipe. Climb up to the top floor and find Hubert, sitting on a mattress with a busted leg. He explains that if Aiden tells Dodger that he does not have the order, he will be done around there. He then asks Aiden to get the order for him instead, located in a storage area in an underground parking lot.
Head to the underground parking lot, which is located in northern Houndfield, to the east of the 'Birch' Windmill and just south of a Nightrunner's Hideout. Head over there and clear the area of Infected, then open the door and head on inside. Inside the building two survivors, Mark and Jonas, can be heard speaking to each other. In conversation with Aiden, they will state that they activated a generator and some UV lights, but that the place was swarming with Infected and that they had to go back.
After the conversation, the two give Aiden three level one Lockpicks. Head down the elevator shaft and go through the parking lot. As said, the place is crawling with infected. Biters, Virals and even a Howler are located there. A lot of bags and lockers with loot are also located here. At the end of the hall, go up the stairs to the next floor. And then jump down to the side.
Head to the far end of the parking lot to find two military containers. Inside them, three Mementos can be found: GRE report - Quartermaster Pike 1, GRE report - Quartermaster Pike 2, and GRE report - Quartermaster Pike 3. Check all five of them as well as the surrounding area for loot and the quest items:
- One box of water filters can be found outside of the containers on a box.
- Two boxes of water filters can be found inside the container which is unlocked with the GRE access key, one located on a shelf and the other on a box next to the table.
- One bottle of Risen Glory Cognac as well as a box of Cuban Cigars can be found inside an easy-locked chest in the container which needs to be entered from the roof.
After obtaining all the items, leave the building and start heading back to Hubert. Upon leaving the parking building, Jonas and Mark are found, standing outside. Not long after the start of the conversation, another figure - Klaus - appears on the scene. Jonas and Mark had ratted out Aiden to him, as it was said that Hubert was trying to get the goods for himself. In response, Klaus had broken his leg. He will demand the goods from Aiden, which prompts two options: either comply, or refuse.
Split the goods
If chosen to split the goods, Klaus will still order his thugs to attack, after which the quest proceeds the same as when chosen to fight for the goods.
Fight for the goods
Refusal causes a fight to break out, with the henchmen getting further aid from three more figures. Defeat them and then head back to Hubert to ask about them. Hubert will admit that he was planning on cheating Dodger to get a bit of extra money. He pretended Dodger gave him a bad lead so he could take the whole stash for himself. He hired some bandits to make it seem more convincing, but they turned on him instead. After confirming that Aiden has all the goods, Hubert asks Aiden to keep quiet about the ordeal and just tell Dodger he will be back in business as soon as his leg heals.
Head over to the Bazaar and speak to Dodger again. He is glad to see the loot from the parking loot, especially the cognac and cigars, and then asks about Hubert's condition. Aiden can either be truthful or lie.
If you lie to Dodger, he will make it clear that he already knew that Hubert was a liar, as Klaus shows up at the bar. Klaus followed Aiden to Hubert and broke his other leg after Aiden had left. After a short conversation to justify the treatment of Hubert, Dodger gives Aiden his reward.
If you tell the truth to Dodger, he will act surprised at first, but the rest of the conversation is the same as with the lie.
