Deathloop: Reactor - how to shut down? Deathloop guide, walkthrough

This page of the Deathloop guide tells you how to shut down the reactor in the Fii bunker in Fristad Rock to avoid it exploding and destroying Blackreef Island.

Last update: 15 September 2021

This page of the guide to Deathloop contains information on how to turn off the reactor in Fia Zborowska's hideout located Fristad Rock district. It is an important issue because the reactor explosion destroys the entire island and restarts the loop. Fortunately, there is a method to shut down the reactor, and below you will find an exact description how to do it.

Location of the reactor

The reactor is located in Fia's bunker in the Rock Fristad district - you can explore it by choosing the midday as the time of day. You can infiltrate the bunker on your own or as part of the Visionary Lead .

The entrance to the bunker is shown in picture 1. It is guarded, but you can make getting there easier by hacking the turret and allowing it to attack the Eternalists. The reactor is in the main room of the bunker and is shown in picture 2.

Avoiding Fia sabotaging the reactor - how?

The explosion of the reactor may occur after Fia deliberately overload it. This can happen if you trigger an alarm near the upper rooms of the bunker (Fia is in one of them). The explosion isn't immediate, but you won't have much time to shut down the reactor.

The solution is sneaking into the bunker - use Aether and weapons with a silencer or fast attack with a machete.

If you want to be sure that Fia won't sabotage the reactor, then after entering the bunker, focus on getting to Fia. We show an example path to her on the guide page with the walkthrough of a lead called .

As a reminder, you will find the Fia in one of the rooms adjacent to the upper control room above the reactor. It's possible to approach her from behind and kill her with a sneak attack.

Reactor shutdown - description of the puzzle / discovery

You have to explore the part of Fia's bunker that is farthest from the reactor. Reach the door of the technical room shown in the picture. If you still have to sneak, then carefully eliminate any guards and hack the camera.

In the room, you will find a diagram of the reactor with multicolor lines. Remove the bottle from the desk and trace the cable numbers. In our case, the correct order was: green (1), blue (2), red (3), yellow (4). However, be aware that many of the puzzles in the game are randomly generated, and in your case, the cables may have different colors.

Get to the reactor and get behind it. Use Hackamajig on the antenna to expose the plate and the reactor mechanism.

You have to pull out the cables in the order from the diagram, so start with cable 1 and end with cable 4.

If you complete the puzzle right, the reactor will shut down, and a new clue will appear in your journal with a record of the correct sequence of cables.

If you make a mistake, unfortunately, you will only accelerate the process of overloading and exploding the reactor.
