Freeport ( mission ) Freeport is the second mission in " " . Walkthrough . Insertion . You ' ll start the mission in a small clearing surrounded by rocks . Get down and get sneaking , before doing anything else . This mission is a bit of a change compared to Brahmin Wood ; you ' re severely outnumbered and pretty much outgunned . Sneaking is vital to this mission , as a single tripped alarm will wake more than a dozen raiders , all packing the heat of several Kalashnikovs . They also won ' t hesitate to kill Charon if intruders are anywhere near his tent . Contact the informant . Your first objective is to talk to the Brotherhood ' s informant within the raider ranks ; Cypher . Cypher is hiding out in the ruins of a building on the far southern side of the map . Take your sneakiest recruit and make your way down the river bed , watching out for a guard patrol consisting of a raider and a dog . You ' ll want to stay as far away from the river bed as possible until you get to the hut on the southwest side of the map . As you round the corner near the hut , you ' ll find a sleeping raider . If you have a decent melee weapon , you can kill him quietly , though an aimed shot to the eyes probably won ' t alert any raiders . Make your way across the river bed from that position , up a small flight of stone stairs . Creep up the stairs , then head into the small ruined building with the sandbag wall . Inside , you ' ll find Cypher . Talking to Cypher will fulfill the first mission goal , but provide pretty much no information . You ' ll simply need to get Charon out while everyone is still stoned and drunk . Rescue Charon . From here , you ' ll need to get to Charon , then kill as many raiders as possible while keeping them away from the tribal father . Pulling up the map will reveal a large ( and highly explosive ) alcohol still on the north side of the compound . You ' ll need to take your sneaky recruit and protect Charon while the rest of the squad draws the raiders out by blowing up the still . Start sneaking east . You ' ll need to sneak past three armed raiders , and enter an empty - looking building . There are two exits on the east side , the northern one of which is guarded by a raider . Sneak back to the bookcase s where you ' ll find another sleeping raider who can be killed with melee or aimed shots . Sneak through the opening in the wall , and out into a small courtyard . There ' s another raider carefully watching from the fireplace , so duck into the next set of ruins and get to the far east side of the map . Carefully proceed along the east side of the map , up to a locker , then turn west and enter a small room with two more sleeping raiders . Gingerly sneak past them , and out into the main raider camp . Charon is in the tent just to your west , so sneak around the north side of that tent , get inside , and stay hidden . There ' s another sleeping raider in there with Charon , so grab an automatic weapon or a shotgun , get into a position where you won ' t hit Charon , and wait to see if he makes a move . Blow up the still . Time to get this ball rolling . Grab your other two squad members , and move up the north side of the map to the still . Climb up the small ladder , then duck behind the sandbags . There are two raiders armed with hunting rifles up there , as well as a dog . Kill all three , then move towards the still . Be careful , the fighting might attract the attention of the two raiders guarding the bridge to the south . Kill them while you ' re at it . There are two entrances to the still building . The entrance through the cracked walls is only open to female characters , and the other entrance is watched by several raiders . Enter through the cracks and kill the female raider standing by the sandbag wall . There ' s another sleeping raider by the burning barrel , and two more armed and awake raiders patrolling the rear of the still building . There are another two raiders in by the still , and a final raider hiding behind some sandbags in front of the still . Blowing up the still will kill the two raiders by it , and is worth an extra 200 XP . Enter the raider camp . Proceed east along the path . There ' s a fat raider sniper patrolling the back of a tent , and two more raiders patrolling along the ruins towards the end of the path . There ' s yet another raider in a section of ruins filled with boxes on the north end of the path . Take a right and head towards the house with the intact door . There ' s another raider inside , asleep , as well as some loot to grab if you can unlock the door . If you can ' t , there ' s a house key you can pick up off a raider to open the door . Proceed down to the paved road , and enter the raider camp . Purge this vicinity . There are seven raiders milling about in the camp , and an eighth asleep on the dirt ; five are armed with melee weapons , one with a shotgun , one with a pistol , and one with an SMG . From this point , you can have your stealthy recruit kill the raider in Charon ' s tent , and you can go from tent to tent and kill the raiders inside without a fuss . After killing all of the raiders and their leader , O ' Reilly , talk to Charon and escort him to the northeastern edge of the map . Mission complete . You ' re awarded 450 XP for saving Charon . Ripley and the raiders . While the raider forces have been crippled and Charon has been saved , there are still a few more raiders poking around the south side of the map . Head back through the area with your full squad and wipe them out for the loot and XP . Open the door in the building south of Charon ' s tent to free Ripley , the other raider prisoner . You gain 150 XP and a Karma boost for freeing Ripley , as well as a bonus much later down the road .
