In Batman: Arkham Knight, the Line of Duty side-mission stands out as one of the most compelling Most Wanted objectives available in Gotham City. This optional campaign charges players with the critical task of rescuing fifteen missing firefighters from the Station 17 crew scattered across various districts. Successfully tracking down these hostages rewards the Caped Crusader with precious upgrades and ultimately leads to unmasking a shocking betrayal within the department.
Locating the Captured Firefighters Across Gotham
Finding the missing crew members requires a mix of diligent exploration and careful monitoring of localized thug conversations. The captured crew is divided across the city, with six men located on Bleake Island, four hidden on Miagani Island, and five trapped on Founders Island. Players should stay alert for local surveillance radio signals to accurately pinpoint their exact coordinates during active patrols.
While the first victim appears directly on your map as a starting point, subsequent locations must be discovered entirely on your own. Paying close attention to suspicious groups of armed militia clustered on rooftops or under bridges will help locate the remaining hostages. Utilizing Detective Mode remains essential for assessing numbers and discovering environmental advantages before starting an engagement.
Overcoming High Stake Combat Scenarios
Each rescue scenario presents a distinct combat or predator challenge that scales in difficulty as you progress. Thugs frequently protect their hostages with weapon crates, physical shields, and heavy shock sticks to disrupt your combat flow. Utilizing the Disruptor gadget to sabotage active ammunition caches beforehand provides a massive tactical advantage.
Fights on Founders Island present the toughest challenges, occasionally featuring heavily armored brutes paired with multi-layered defenses. Executing well-timed Fear Multi-Takedowns allows players to instantly thin down hostile numbers before standard melee exchanges begin. Quickfire gadgets like the Remote Electrical Charge are extremely useful for temporarily incapacitating dangerous foes during chaotic brawls.
The Final Confrontation and Fire Chief Rescue
Once all fifteen crew members are securely freed, the mission objectives shift toward locating Chief Underhill himself. This final sequence transitions into a high-stakes predator encounter on a northern rooftop filled with structural hazards. Players must carefully neutralize sixteen fully armed militia members to successfully reach the trapped department leader.
Clearing this rooftop safely demands a smart deployment of structural tools, floor grates, and corner takedowns to avoid deadly gunfire. After securing the area and untying the chief, players must escort him back to the GCPD Lockup via the Batmobile. This final delivery exposes the deep motivations behind the crisis and brings a definitive conclusion to the story arc.
Waynetech Upgrades and Accomplishment Rewards
Completing individual objectives throughout this Most Wanted mission provides continuous progression benefits for your character. Each individual firefighter you successfully rescue grants a single valuable Waynetech point to upgrade suits and combat tools. Saving Chief Underhill at the conclusion awards an additional three points to maximize your current build capabilities.
Beyond skill points, wrapping up the storyline unlocks exclusive entries within the Gotham character showcase database. Dedicated players will also secure a unique gameplay achievement signifying their total victory over the city's criminal elements. These substantial incentives make the mission a highly rewarding endeavor for anyone aiming to completely clean up the streets of Gotham.
