The Deal with the Devil mission is the kind of quest that requires you to make certain choices. What makes this more interesting is the enemies, whom you can fight to complete your progress. Before beginning, make sure to equip yourself with a good weapon from the title. Here are all four objectives and how to complete them to accomplish the main mission:

Get to the Plant and talk to Varan

Head towards the Plant located near the Garbage region. Make sure to hide your arms before entering. As you enter, you will find Varan seated in a chair with two of his men guarding him. Approach him and he will start the conversation. During this process, you have two dialogue options: “Who attacked your men?” and “What about Nestor?

Choose the first one to continue the conversation. Now you will be given three options. It is important to make the right choice.

Here are the options and what will happen if you choose each of them:

Option 1: "[20000] Here’s your money"

If you choose the first one, you must give 20000 Coupons to Varan, who will then send you to the basement of the Plant. There, you will discover a dead prisoner on the ground. While searching his body, you will get the information needed to complete the mission.

Once done, leave the place to complete the task. The only drawback of selecting this option is that it requires you to spend your hard-earned Coupons.


Option 2: "Any other option?"

The second option requires you to visit a spot and complete the following objectives:

Kill Shah and Roosevelt

The first one is to kill the Crimelords, Shah and Roosevelt. You will find them inside a building just beside the Plan. As you reach the location, you will encounter numerous enemies guarding them. After successfully killing all of them, recover Shah’s PDA from his dead body.

Get information from Varan and leave the place

After retrieving the PDA, return to Varan and talk to him. He will send you to a basement, just as he would for option 1, where you will get the necessary information after examining the prisoner. This time, he will betray you and try to kill you.

If you successfully manage to escape the area, you will complete the Deal with the Devil mission. This option will take a long time and you may end up losing your life.
