Question

What do you mean by "protect Harper?"

Community Answer

When are you close to ending the mission part where you are driving cars, there is a pipeline that's spewing fire. Avoid it so that Harper doesn't get burned.

Question

Can I still kill Menendez at the end and get a good ending?

Community Answer

No. If you kill him, he will upload the video to YouTube and tell everyone about Cordia dying and declare a second strike.

Question

In the best ending, does Woods die?

Community Answer

No. Woods is alive in the best ending. As long as you have Karma alive, she will stop Menendez from escaping prison and killing Woods.

Question

How many Intels are there in Time and Fate? I found three, and it said search incomplete in the mission overview.

Community Answer

There is another one on the desk when you left with Woods to the coke lab. Just pick it up before fire reaches the Intel. It's on the right side.

Question

Can I still get the good ending if Kroshanko gets killed by Mason?

Community Answer

No, because they will never know about the mole. Even if you do find all the intels in time, they will be pretty much useless.

If Harper gets injured, can I still get the ending?

There is no way to get Harper injured because Karma is depending on Farid. Just kill Harper.

Question

Will the ending be affected if Harper gets burned?

Community Answer

No, as long as you kill him as Farid. All it does is change some dialogue in the mission where you save Karma as David Mason.

Question

If I don't find all the intel in time and fate, do I still get a good ending?

Community Answer

No it's an absolute must. If not, the mole will still be undiscovered, thus a weird ending scene.

Do I have to do all this in order?

No. It does not have to be done in this exact order. You just need to be a pacifist and do the right thing to get this ending.

Question

How can I save Karma?

Community Answer

In the mission “Karma,” you have to successfully save Karma and prevent DeFalco from escaping, and kill him. If you fail this mission, you have a second chance of saving Karma by doing the “Strike Force” mission.

Question

Karma is alive and Woods died how?

Ethan Duarte

If your talking about the ending, then it's most likely because Menedez broke out of jail and went after Woods.

Question

Do I have to complete on collecting all the intel in "Time and Fate" to get the CIA file in the bunker? Or should I just be faster on killing enemies blocking my way and collect the CIA file quickly?

Ethan Duarte

Community Answer

It's smarter to go as quickly as possible to get to the CIA file as it is a time sensitive document, otherwise it will be lost to the fire.

Question

If I don't complete the strike force mission can I get the best ending?

Benny Yee [STUDENT]

Community Answer

If you don't complete the mission "Dispatch" it will affect the Odysseus dialogue, and China will never form a alliance, and the Obama will be lost even though you save Karma, shoot admiral Briggs in the leg, or both.
