Fire Station
The Fire Station is found at theend of the prologue.It will act as a base of operations for the player. This is where new missions will be posted, and weapons/medical supplies can be bought.
When players have selected the location, the character will pick up a map ofRedfall,and a three-second timer will count down. Keep in mind this willnot pause gameplay,and the character can still take damage during this animation. Doing so will cancel the fast travel, and the character will put the map away. verify to be safe from enemy attacks while fast traveling.
Historical Markers
While exploring the town keepan eye out for waypoints with a lock symbol appearing on the HUD. Follow these symbols to find the historical markers placed near landmarks. Walking up to these markers and pressing X/Square will add the location to the map. Players can then select these points on the map to fast travel to them.
Safe Houses
Safe Houses are specific safe zones in each section of the map. Keep an eye out for the locked home symbol when nearby to one. To unlock a safe house for use, players will need to restart a nearby generator.
Look fororange and yellowcables that will lead to the generator. Generators maybe locked behind doorsthat requirelock picks or rewire tools,so stay stocked up on these useful items.
Activating a generator may set off sounds that will attract enemies and cause a fight. Once safe houses are back up and running, players can fast travel to them and restock ammo/health. Safe houses also have missions posted, and clearing them will make the area safer from enemies.
Completing a safe house mission also gives the players the option to immediately fast travel back by using the select button. This is useful for quickly completing every mission in a particular safe house.
