. Shooting him results in Simon being shot by the other guy. - Shoot Guard Drawing Weapon [CROSS CHAPTER IMPACT]: Shoot the guard on the right side with
. Shoot him results in Simon not being shot. - Alert Central Security: Happens when the guy at the phone gets a chance to call for backup (don’t do anything or shoot the other guy)

- Security Suspects Something: If you picked the ASSAULT option, don’t do anything as you move towards the guards, don’t draw your gun.

- Operator Tries to Escape: Happens automatically, unmissable.
- Shoot Operator [CROSS CHAPTER IMPACT]: When the operator tries to escape, choose SHOOT. Results in him not calling for backup. However, it drastically decreases public opinion about androids. It’s also worth noting that this guy does not count for the “SURVIVORS” trophy (everyone is alive at end of game). You are allowed to shoot him, it doesn’t void the trophy.
- Don’t Shoot Operator: Choose SPARE when the operator runs away. This is the pacifist option – not shooting him will result in backups arriving soon. It’s the option I recommend.
- Deal with Android Operators: Markus has to point his gun at them to tell them to go away.
- Prepare to Broadcast: The broadcast is an automatic story part. During it you can pick different dialogues as listed below:
- Begin Calmly
- Begin Determinedly

- End Determinedly
- SWAT Storms the Room: After the speech, if you chose SPARE when the operator ran away, a SWAT team will shoot up the room.
- Simon Damaged: A result of the SWAT arriving.
- Leave Simon: You are given a chance to either save Simon or run away to the roof. For this you must leave Simon to be killed by SWAT.
- Simon is killed: You left Simon to die by the hands of the SWAT, did all the above points.
- Try to Save Simon: Instead of leaving Simon when the SWAT storms the room, choose to Save him.
- Fail to save Simon: When you go to save Simon, don’t press any button. Then the SWAT shoots him anyway.
- Simon Saved: When you go to save Simon, quickly press the display button to bring him to the roof with you.
- Leave Broadcast Room: Escape without raising an alarm during this mission.
Checkpoint: On the Roof
- Simon Can’t Continue: Triggers if Simon was wounded during the mission. Either you chose the ASSAULT option at the security desk and shot the guy on phone or you SPARED the operator and the SWAT shot Simon. You must bring him to the roof with you (if SWAT comes, choose to save him).
- Leave Simon [CROSS CHAPTER IMPACT]: Choose to leave Simon behind but leave him alive. He will hide from the police. In the next chapter ‘Public Enemy’ Connor can either find Simon or ignore him. If Connor ignores Simon, he will rejoin Markus and the group later and won’t die.
- Execute Simon [CROSS CHAPTER IMPACT]: You can kill Simon, but this is not a good choice. It will lock you out from a bunch of stuff in the future.
- Run to Jump: On the roof run towards the edge when the SWAT breaks the door.
- Reach Roof Edge: You ran towards the edge and jumped.
- Get Shot [CROSS CHAPTER IMPACT]: Instead of running towards the edge just stand still and don’t press any buttons.
- North Helps Markus: Instead of running towards the edge just stand still and don’t press any buttons. North will save Markus.
- Jump: Automatically at end of mission.
- Media Reacts: Automatically at end of mission. Depending on your demands and kill count, the news will report different things. If nobody was killed and you chose the calm start & peaceful ending, Public Opinion will go up.
Endings
- The Group Escaped but Simon was left behind: Simon was left behind on the rooftop but you didn’t kill him. Either you chose the ASSAULT option at the security desk and shot the guy on phone or you SPARED the operator and the SWAT shot Simon. You must bring him to the roof with you (if SWAT comes, choose to save him).
- The Group Escaped: This happens if the whole group (including Simon) survive and escape from the roof. To do this, pick the RUSE option at the security desk and SHOOT the operator so he doesn’t call for backup.
- The Group Escaped but Simon was destroyed: Simon was killed during the mission. You SPARED the operator and the SWAT came in and killed Simon or you brought wounded Simon to the rooftop with you and then executed him.
All done! This concludes The Stratford Tower Chapter.

I haven’t unlocked Leave Broadcast Room. Any ideas?
So, I had this problem too for a while, until I went back and replayed it. To make sure that you get the “leave broadcast room” option, you have to make sure that you lock the server room door behind you, incapacitate the guards, and shoot the operator.
yeah the article fails to mention that you also have to lock the server room door after North tells you to before starting to work on the window so noone enters while you’re in there. Otherwise it can be assumed that the guy that enters woke up after being knocked out and alarmed security, even if it’s not as obvious as the assult on the guards or the fleeing operator.
How do I get the “leave broadcast room” node? No matter what I do SWAT enters even when shooting the run away and that node won’t highlight no matter what.
Make sure you locked the door to the server room. Then with the two human guards before the broadcast room, choose RUSE. Should you get your node.
For Group Escaped but Simon was left behind, I think that you mean that you shot the guard with the gun or let the operator escape. If you shoot the guard on the phone, he can’t broadcast the alarm.
it doesn’t matter if Simon is shot at that point already or later in the broadcast room. Failing to lock the server room door also triggers the swat team so Simon is hit anyway.
If you don’t do anything when you pick ruse the guards phone for security and simon gets injured
As mentioned in a comment, if you don’t lock the door to the server room and the employee enters this will also trigger the SWAT team attack.
Lock the door, ruse the guards and shoot the station operator to ensure no SWAT.
Ok the do nothing on the roof and get wounded isn’t working. It makes me auto jump off the roof. Every time
Same. It’s so annoying I don’t know what to do.
You have to shoot the operator to save simon and prevent swat but you will be labled a terrorist and public opinion will only go down. Hope that solves your issues.
Using “Bluff” on the far left deviant Android didn’t trigger anything. I reloaded and tried the other three options “Violence, Torture and Probe Memory” those will trigger the Android to attack.
Also, you can only choose to go to the roof or interrogate the Androids in the kitchen. Not both. Doing either ends the chapter. If you want Simon to not be found on the roof, you have to interrogate the Androids in the kitchen. Thereby bypassing the roof option altogether.
That’s for the next chapter, “Public Enemy”
I can not find the guards I’m supposed to almost get caught by.
anyone know what the cross chapter impact is if Markus gets shot by swat when on the roof?? I’m really interested… I accidentally got that path and apparently only 1% of people got it too, I’m thinking of just going back and replaying in case the chapter impact is bad
There will be an extra puddle of blood for Connor to examine when investigating the roof in the next chapter
It should be noted that you can still get the survivor trophy if you leave Simon on the roof alive but don’t investigate the roof in the next chapter. This results in Simon eventually making it back to Jericho on his own
I know I’m four years late but here’s one quick thing: You can choose “Determined” to start the speech and public opinion will still go up if you didn’t hurt anyone.
