Talk to Marshal Danelson
You begin this quest by reporting to Marshal Danelson at the Automech Repair Center. Head to this location and you’ll find Marshal Danelson in the main office. You need to complete An Aegis Against the Miasma quest before this, which will grant you your shield. Tell Marshal Danelson about this shield, and he’ll tell you to put the shield to use at the repair hangar. Wrap this conversation up to begin the quest.

To the Repair Hangar
Exit the main office and head downstairs towards the objective marker. This marker will lead you to the hangar, which is suffering from a gas leak. Enter the hangar and take the staircase in front of you. Look to your left, and you’ll find an open vent you can pass through. This vent will lead you to the other side of the hangar, where you’ll then have to fight off Malfunctioning Wasps.
Defeat the wasps and enter the room at the end of the hall. You’ll find a terminal here. Interact with the terminal and use it to shut down the flow of Zyranium Gas. You’ll then learn that you can’t do that just yet, not before sealing the two intake conduits linked to the flow system.

After interacting with the terminal, take the door to your right to reach the next room. Here, you’ll have to face off against a Malfunctioning Dragoon Automech. Defeat the mech and use the cargo boxes to your left to reach the upper level. Here, you’ll find a parkour route that will lead you to the first conduit valve. Interact with the valve to seal it.
Once you’ve sealed the first valve, turn around and exit through the balcony. You’ll find more cargo boxes here, which you can climb to get to the roof. Circle around the roof and get to the other side of the building. You’ll then find a balcony here, which you can use to get to the second conduit valve.
Seal the second conduit valve and use the ladder nearby as a shortcut back to the terminal room. Interact with the terminal again, and you’ll be able to use it to shut down the flow of Zyranium Gas. Shut down the flow and report back to Marshal Danelson to complete the quest and get the following rewards:
- 1080 XP
- Repeating Rifle Explosive Rounds
