Overview
There are three story missions that have at least one alternative route available, but their activation frequency is low.

Listening In
1 route
Open Season
2 routes
Last Stop
2 routes

The main reason to play through alternative routes is to find lore collectables and, unique to Last Stop mission, two additional Omninbox cases to unlock for a weapon and mod (these are optional and you can skip unlocking secure room to proceed through route).

As there are no indicators at the start of the level (that I have found) that an alternative route will be available, you want to make sure you find the lore collectables on your first attempt. Or be prepared to replay the mission potentially many times for your next chance.

Some of the alternative routes seem easier as they skip sections with humans, or you face less of them. This eliminates/reduces the potential for weapon noise from alerted humans so should make for easier progress through mission. While other alternative routes will seem harder, especially if you have an active horde level.

    Notes:
  • Click on image thumbnails for larger picture.
  • Embedded video clips don’t work. Click on YouTube link underneath black box.
  • Collectables aren't shown in the videos as I already have them.
Listening In
As this is at the beginning stage of the level, it's fairly quick to scrap mission and replay until you get lucky with the odds.

Occasionally the fenced compound, that leads to alternative route, will have a closed gate that requires a tool to open. This doesn't affect if the alternative route will activate and, if gate is present and still closed, the walkers will pass through the tent to get to you.

The video clip shows quickly passing through route as a demonstration. In practice you've got to clear Walkers and lookout for tripwires, bear traps, and alarmed vehicles. While checking for collectable(s) and materials.

Signs to look for:

Difficulty:
Easier

Open Season
There are two alternative routes on this level. The first one is very short and just to pick up a single lore collectable (can still be collected if route doesn't activate, by accessing stairwell from floor above). While the second alternative route alters the difficulty of the level and has a character specific lore collectable.


First Alternative Route - Making way to the roof - Stairwell from floor 2 to floor 3

Signs to look for:
At locked gate after killing Brigade firing squad. Look for a red light from clothing shop shutter switch. You can spot it without a scope, once you know where to look. If red light is visible that means normal route is active.

Normal Route (visible red light)
Alternative Route (no red light)

    Note: If you forgot to check from above position you can look through glass walls at bottom of metal staircase from locked gate, or check two further places after you enter the mall

After descending ladder into the mall, check for red light from clothing shop shutter control. If it's visible then normal route is active.
Normal Route (visible red light)
Alternative Route (no red light)

And finally, if the corridor leading to Deli is not blocked off then alternative route is available.
Normal Route (corridor shutter down)
Alternative Route (corridor shutter up)

Trigger:
none

Advantage:
Deli route has 9 soldiers (including a Brute) and 5 additional soldiers inside the Unique store that become active when alerted. Compared of 15 soldiers (including a Brute) on regular Fukukoto clothing store route.

Disadvantage:
As soon as you open shutter to exit Shoe Fiesta store the soldiers in area become alert and attack. Seems scripted so you can't do this part by stealth, but I have not played this route enough times to be absolutely certain.

Difficulty:
Harder

Collectables:

    After raising shutter to exit Shoe Fiesta shop head right and enter Recycled Reads book shop, and take stairs down to find a mattress in corner.

Last Stop
There is one proper alternative route on this level (low frequency of being active), and one pseudo alternative route (it's always present but is tool dependant) as a second chance.

The actual alternative route can be easier, if no horde active, as you get the element of surprise on the Brigade soldiers. Providing you can kill them off individually without alerting the rest.

The pseudo alternative route also makes the level easier as it gives you the element of surprise on the Brigade soldiers at the drawbridge camp. Who normally ambush you and potentially trigger a horde with their incessant firing.

Signs to look for:
Door by switch G is not blocked.
Normal Route (blocked doorway)
Alternative Route (clear doorway)

Trigger:
After resetting 4 manual override switches the door to the subway short circuits upon activation.

Advantage:
Two additional cases to unlock if solve lock combination.

Disadvantage:
If have an active horde level then you will likely get spotted by Brigade soldiers that patrol on overhead platforms, as you try to fight way through Walkers to upper level.

Difficulty:
Potentially harder due to mix of Walkers and Brigade in close proximity. Can go loud easily if you rush in to clear Walkers.

Includes unlocking secured store room to access two Omninbox's


Pseudo Alternative route (tool dependent): Alternative corridor leading to drawbridge camp
Signs to look for:
Lock type on door.

Corridor exits by drawbridge hand generator.

Trigger:
Always present, but tool required is random.

Advantage:
Stealth entry to Brigade camp with drawbridge. Can potentially kill all soldiers stealthily, but Walkers do still make their way to area.

Difficulty:
Easier as you get the jump on the ambushing Brigade soldiers.

@Ratchet Lombax. You're right. So don't have to replay until lift fails. Just take the lift up to next floor, as normal, and then go stairwell.

Looking outside to the area before the firing squad ladder, turn left and you will see the door at the end of the hallway that leads to the stairs with the lore below.

@Ratchet Lombax. Got any further information on detour for Wilted Bouquet? As I've listed the only source I know of.

I didn't consider Join Or Die an alternative route, as you still have access to all the level regardless of the gate opened. If you meant exiting the first Brigade camp through a locked gate, using a generator.
Cyandos 7 ноя. 2022 г. в 19:25 
The Wilted Bouquet lore item can be obtained in the other route as well, you just gotta make a detour.

Does the Join or Die alternate generator gate count?
