Make your way up to the control room, clear out the Order waves whilst activating the power banks then flip the switch to turn on the Ordnite batteries.

Approach the door then go off and get up to the higher level to find several Order Soldiers who have just killed the Smugglers so put them down then grab the Echo.

Location: Dominion City, Terminus District.
Rewards: x31,787xp, $2,000, F.A.N.G. Assault Rifle.
Go through the door and down to Brenda who will ask for your help so get up and into the facility then clear out the security. You then need to try and drain the reservoir which won’t work until the 3 pumps are primed which is done by shooting the targets as they light up on the walls next to the lever. You will need to be quick and use a high accuracy single shot weapon, I used the Goalkeeper but pretty much any Assault Rifle which doesn’t fire explosive rounds will do or maybe a Pistol if you don’t have anything decent AR wise. With all 3 pumps primed you can then drain the reservoir and return to Brenda who will ambush you with her Husband, the Foreman as well as a few Rippers. Kill everything to conclude this side mission.
No-Escape Room
Location: Dominion City, Terminus District.
Rewards: x31,787xp, $1,000, Boory SMG, Eternal Defender Vehicle Paintjob.
Enter the complex and open the doors when prompted. For me the yellow one was the safe one but the other 2 only had a fire jet behind them so it’s easy enough to get pass. Go through to the next room then open the boxes to get the keys, all that happens is a bit of easy to avoid gas comes out so avoid it if you get the wrong box then continue through the facility. Go through the maze taking care around the fire jets then proceed through to the final area which fills with gas so tether the vent grate then destroy the machine. Smiley Man will then kill himself so that saves you the bother, leave the facility to conclude the side mission.
Old Lads
Location: Dominion City, Fades District.
Rewards: x31,787xp, $1,000, Hellhound Shotgun, Haphazardous Vault Hunter Style, Haphazardous ECHO-4 Paintjob.
The Old Lads side mission has 3 starting points, each one leads through to each of the 3 trapped lads so work through each of the sewers taking out the Creeps as you go until you have rescued all 3 then get back to Raymond where you will be ambushed by some Order troop. Kill them all to conclude this side mission.

One Gassy Issue
Location: Dominion City, Fades District.
Rewards: x31,787xp, $1,000, Armory Casing Shield.
Speak to Beth, head over to the facility and tether the lift down which allows you to get into the facility. Pull the vent cover up on the left, clear the guards then turn the gas back on by pulling the platform across allowing you to get to both of the levers. Go through the door and back down to the bio door you can now open and deal with the security before disabling the forcefields.

Collect another 2 bio canisters and throw them at both consoles to open the doors then head over to the marker where the beacon is. Kill the Rippers and collect the module which needs placing back on the beacon then head to the platform up high to acquire the spare part then go to the second monitoring device, kill the Creeps then shoot the hive around the beacon to free it. Repair the device then get to the marker where a Bio Thresher will be waiting for you so kill it after using bio canisters to remove the armour. Shoot the vomit pile to free Colonel Oatmeal before returning to Beth to conclude this side mission.
Overwriting A Wrong
Location: Dominion City, Carcadia District.
Rewards: x31,787xp, $2,000, Bursting Phage SMG.
This is one of the toughest side missions in the game and one where you will need a high accuracy, single fire weapon, I used the Goalkeeper but any single shot, 0 spread weapon will suffice. Speak to Terry then collect the Echo and head over to the factory clearing out the Order as you go then try to upload the Virus into the drone on the back of the flatbed. You will be told there are 3 terminals you need to hack so go to each one and shoot the red triangles whilst avoiding the blue circles hence the need for a high accuracy single shot weapon.
With the 3 terminals hacked and breached you can then reupload the virus into the drone on the flatbed, shoot the triangles as you usually would except this time, as the virus is uploading you will have drones coming down to interrupt the hack whilst also dealing with a lot of Order reinforcements so ensure none of your rounds hit any of the blue circles and deal with any red triangles quickly as they appear. It is a tough part of the mission so ensure you have plenty of ammo reserves as you’ll need them if you fail. Wait for the hack to finish then clear the stragglers to conclude this side mission.
Price Of Freedom
Location: Dominion City, Carcadia District.
Rewards: x31,587xp, $2,500, Weldwyrm Shotgun.
Enter the cells and take out the guards then press the button to free Joe who you need to speak to to accept the side quest then head straight over and rescue Sue whilst carving a path through the Order forces. With Sue “saved”, go off and retrieve the 3 packages which you can deliver to Joe then go through and clear out the 2 waves of Order including Commander Rufford. You are then clear to go through and speak to Vito to conclude the side mission once Joe and Sue catch up.
Price Of Freedom Part 2
Location: Dominion City, Carcadia District.
Rewards: x31,787xp, $1,500, Laminate Shield.
Speak to Vito then get to the Pipe entrance. Once Joe and Sue catch you up you will need to find a battery to open the door so go left along the platform then down to your left to the adjacent building where the battery can be collected then placed in the port which allows you to pull the lever to open the pipe. Joe and Sue will disappear inside so follow the markers and shoot the weak points in the pipes which is easier if you get to the other side of the area then keep following the markers to release the overflow. You’re then free to get to the pipe exit, where, after some dialogue, the side mission will conclude.
Price Of Freedom Part 3
Location: Dominion City, Carcadia District.
Rewards: x39,508xp, $2,250, Progressing Transit Sniper Rifle.
