After completing the third primary expansion mission, «Spider and the Fly» in Phantom Liberty, you'll gain access to the «Balls To The Wall» side mission. This mission requires you to assist two eager chooms, Paco and Babs in getting themselves out of a sticky situation. And, while you may believe it is honorable to lend a helping hand, proceed with caution because this side mission has multiple outcomes, not all of which are favorable.
Not only will knowing how this mission plays out help you get the desired ending but there are some easily missed cyberpunk weapons in this side mission. As a result, because this is one of the side quests with the best rewards, you'll want to know the best way to approach it.
The «Balls To The Wall» side mission is located in Dogtown, near the Golden Pacifica fast travel point, in case you were wondering where Dogtown is on Map. When you arrive, you'll come across a BARGHEST camp. Paco and Babs, two new recruits, can be found inside. Begin a conversation with them to begin the «Balls To The Wall» side mission.
The two will immediately offer you a drink to ease you into their situation. Following that, Paco will offer you a whiff of «Deep Dive». Although it's always smart to say no to drugs, if you want to see this mission through you'll need to take a hit. After taking a hit, you'll enter Paco's memories and relive his BARGHEST initiation. However, you are not playing as Paco, but rather as his leader, Kurt Hanson. Besides the point, all you have to do in this trance is talk to Hanson's second-in-command, Yuri, and then head down to fight with Paco as part of his initiation.
After the fight, you'll awaken from your trance. However, Paco's story isn't over yet, so take another hit of Deep Dive and enter part two of the trance. Playing as Hanson again, you must fight off a bunch of scavengers in vehicular combat and in the streets. Once you've sorted the conflict, speak to Paco and leave the trance. Finally, Paco will reveal why he requires your assistance: he stole and sold the generators from his new boss, Hansen, who didn't take the action very kindly. In fact, he wants both Paco and Babs dead.
After Paco explains why he needs your help, you will have three dialogue options to choose from: «Gotta frame Yuri.», «At this stage… run for the hills, guys.» and lastly, «See if I can't call in some favors. Could work somethin' out.» The outcome of the mission will be determined by your response here. More importantly, the decision you make will have serious consequences for Paco and Babs' lives, so you'll want to know the outcome of each answer before you lock it in.
