Background[]

This is interesting… Nestor, the kingpin of Garbage, has vanished without a trace. It seems like everyone involved in the Scanner scheme is in trouble. Even Diode, the kingpin's technician henchman, is in some serious hot water. I should meet him at the Slag Heap and find out what he knows.

Walkthrough[]

Show Diode the key card
Find any clues about the Scanner scheme
Search the bodies for clues
Get to the workshop
Fight off the attackers
Leave the workshop using the key card
Look around the Labyrinth
Search Nestor's stash
Examine the workshop for any clues
Enter the Dig Site
Talk to Diode
Enter the workshop

Notes[]

Examine the workshop for any clues and Enter the Dig Site objectives are mutually exclusive. If you want to maximize the rewards, examine the workshop first - loot the artifacts near the Scanners, kill the Bandits but don't pick up the PDA on the bandit leader. Then go to the Dig Site, kill the Burers and help Kiddo. Now you can collect either PDA and move on to Deal with the Devil.
