Follow Jackie
Follow Jackie around to the corner of the garage. Before going into the elevator there will probably be a few items lying around you can grab, though mostly just junk. Junk is useful to disassemble it for parts, which you can then use for crafting or upgrading your gear.
Enter the elevator with Jackie
Once you’re ready to progress go into the elevator and interact with the button to go to the Apartments floor.
Talk to T-Bug
T-Bug will call you, and you can press 
to answer her.
Dialogue:
- Jackie’s right. > Timed dialogue, both outcomes are the same.
- Calm the hell down. > Timed dialogue
Follow Jackie
Follow Jackie out of the elevator down the hallway.
Head to the apartment

Once outside, you can hold 
/ 
then press 
/

Follow Jackie
Head inside the apartment, following Jackie into the next room. You can search around these two rooms for more junk items to pick up.
Examine the woman’s body
In the second room, hold / to scan the body on the operating table to check for whether it’s the target.
Get to the next room
When ready to continue, interact with the door beside Jackie to go to the next room.
Find Sandra Dorsett
Sandra Dorsett is the name of the target you are looking for, and your goal here is to get to the end of this area to find her.
Sneak up on the scavenger [Optional]
In the next room, there is an enemy by a large chest. If you sneak up on them you can grab them with / , then perform either a lethal or non-lethal takedown on them and drop them into the chest to remain stealthy.
Hide from the scavengers [Optional]
The optional objectives in this area basically lead you through playing the mission in a stealthy manner. You just try shooting the enemies in the area if you want, but depending on the difficulty you’re on they can be a bit difficult because you don’t really have anything to fight back with, so staying in stealth is easier. Wait by the marked spot beside Jackie, and two of the enemies will walk out into the hallway you’re in.
Neutralize the scavenger [Optional]
Go towards the two scavengers now in the hallway with you, can you can take out one and Jackie will take out the other.
There will be one enemy leaning against the shelving just inside the large room that you can take out, then go to the far wall by the windows to take out the other.

There will be more objective markers pointing you towards a doorway in the opposite corner of the room. If you follow through here there is a hole in the wall that you can walk through, letting you get near the last large enemy standing in the next room.
Defeat the scavenger leader
The big guy is the last enemy to deal with in this area. If you alert him at all he’ll run into the next room, then start shooting through the wall at you, so you can try and take him out before then if you want.
After he’s dealt with, go into the marked bathroom in the next room.
