Lightning Breaks Walkthrough
Following the events of Ghost Town, meet with Panam at midnight by the Gas Station that can be found next to the Sunset Motel. If you arrive early, head around the to the garage and wait for Panam by the entrance.
Meet Panam at Midnight
As the clock strikes midnight, V will stand up and will suffer another malfunction thanks to the relic. Once the malfunction passes, speak with Panam and offer your assistance as as she works on her car.Once you're ready to go, ask Panam if she has given any thought to mission ahead. With a plan in mind, follow Panam to the workbench and watch as she begins explaining in the detail the plan for downing the AV.
Having discussed the plans, it's time to set it in motion. Before heading off, be sure to search Panam's garage for Shards and any other junk. When you're ready to go, get into the passenger seat of the car.
During the car ride, you'll have the opportunity to get to know more about Panam - your choices during this section of the mission do not effect the story.
Connect to the Vehicle to Use the Turrets
Wanting to ensure that you're prepared to use the Turrets, Panam will need to calibrate you with the guns and will ask you to connect.Worried that Panam will find out about the biochip, Johnny will appear in the backseat as you connect and will begin questioning V's decision. Just as he had thought, Panam finds something unusual and states that the implant on the nape of your neck is infected with a virus.
You will need to reassure Panam that your connection is secure and there is nothing to be worried about. Trusting that V won't screw anything up, Panam will go ahead with your calibration.
Shoot the Targets Using the Turret
Now that V is connected to the turret, aim and shoot at the target that can be found 50 meters in front of the vehicle.
Next up, shoot the marked target that's found on top of a small mound off the side of the bridge with a single shot. To finalize the calibration, shoot the next target with a longer round.With the turrets calibrated, Panam will start heading towards the power station. Along the way, Johnny will pipe up from the backseat and will begin stating just how alike they really are.
Once you arrive at the lookout point, V will go over the plan one final time, making sure they are prepared for any contingencies. After waiting for the right time, Panam will start heading for the Power Stations. While you have the option to skip ahead, we highly recommend conversing with Panam, as you'll learn more about her background.
Take Out the Power Plant Security
Once you reach the main gate to the Power Station, jack in to trucks turrets and prepare for a fight.As you enter the gates, the Power Plant security will be alerted and will send a group of drones in your direction. Using the turret, take them out.
Overheat the Terminals
With the drones taken care of, it's now time to overheat the terminals. When exiting the vehicle, you will find three terminals marked on screen. Head over to them and select the option to overheat them. Once all three have been overheated, get back into the passenger seat of Panam's vehicle.Upon escaping, Johnny will reappear, begging V to disconnect as he's worried it could seriously affect the chip as he continues to glitch in and out of existence.Once you arrive at the nearby cliff, take the denotator from Panam and wait for the AV to fly over the Power Plant. Despite a few failed attempts, the detonator will finally explode on the third attempt.With the AV still in the air, Panam will take matters into her own hands, launching a rocket in their direction. With a direct hit, the AV will begin losing altitude. As Panam begins driving towards the crash site, Mitch and Scorpion can be heard over the radio as they begin a rescue mission for the ship.Despite Panam's pleas to not approach the AV, they can not hear her as the pulse interfering with the signal. With drones approaching your vehicle, the mission will end and the next Main Job, Life During Wartime, will immediately begin.
