Here ’s how to nail The Hammer Falls mission in Starfield .
Starfield The Hammer Falls Walkthrough

All Previous Freestar Collective Missions
Before The Hammer Falls , there are seven other Freestar Collective missions that you need to complete . Those missions are as play along :
Go to HopeTown and Confront Ron Hope
Head toHopeTownin the Valo system on the planet of Polvo . After landing , make your way in spite of appearance and find Ron on the main factory floor . He ’ll be praise his worker , Birgit , for meeting some challenging quota that he set up for her . Speak with him and tell him you know he ordered the hits on the farm , and he ’ll straightaway deny it under the fact that Paxton was court - martialed . Show him the slate and he ’ll concede to what he did .
His abstract thought for doing this is about what you ’d look . HopeTech had been falling behindits contest and needed ways to enamour up and keep competitive . He began to diversify his research team and looked into crops , though the first tests of experimental fertilizer were unsuccessful and destroyed crops . He was ready to burn the undertaking out before the fertiliser proved it had other significant effects that would seriously increase profits . Thus , his plan was to donate the fertilizer , clear out the farm , and then harvest the soil . That ’s what he hired the First to do , though his plans never involved wanting to hurt anyone . However , farmers are unregenerate , and he could n’t risk take witnesses .
Birgit gong inand is shocked he did something so vile , and he ’ll act as vile as you ’d gestate in return . From here , he present you with a pick . He vow to call off the operation and render the state to its rightful owners , and he ’ll even pay you to let it go . This show you with a few options . you could either take the money and walk away , or you could kill him . Choosing the choice of make for him to jurist brings you to the same choices .

Should You Kill Ron Hope?
If you demand me , I say you should attack and kill Ron . While he could give you a nice deal for keeping quiet , the idea of someone who ’s cost the lives of guiltless Farmer getting to take the air is disgusting . It ’s 20,000 Credits ( 50,000 if you choose to negotiate ) versus him getting address Department of Justice , and I ’m kick the bucket to pick out the right matter any twenty-four hours of the week . If you desire more info on the implications of this choice , control outour article on whether you should vote out or spare Ron Hope .
Talk to Birgit McDougall
If youchoose to kill Ron Hope , then you ’ll want to talk to Birgit after the deed is done . She ’ll be shocked by the fact that he did what he did , but still finds it gonzo given how he always looked out for his employees . She ’ll be upset , though there ’s thankfully a second - in - command who can replace him ; Elana Nwanko . She seems o.k. , so thing should be okay .
Talk to Marshal Blake
Leave HopeTech and make your way back to Akila City , where you ’ll want to babble out withMarshal Blake at The Rock . Inform him of what happened at the mech manufactory with Paxton and with Ron Hope of HopeTech . He ’ll be shocked , though Emma is far from surprised . If you kill him , he ’ll be worried about how this could affect the Collective , though Emma seems unconcerned about it causing any endure harm .
However , there ’s a good ending to all this . The Marshal and Emma have approved your advancement from Deputy to full Ranger ! Not only do you get a fancy new badge and some mostly useless gear , but you ’ll get Credits and a freeStar Eagle shipas well . kudos on completing the Freestar Collective mission product line in Starfield !
