Arriving at the Rook, Marshall briefs you on the next steps: meeting Adler’s contact, Sevati Dumas. With this info, you can talk to Woods about upgrading the Rook or explore the safehouse for secrets.
Talk to Woods in Rook Arrival
Talking to Woods in the garage won’t trigger a point-of-no-return, so you can chat with him anytime. He’s beside the whiteboard near where you first spoke with Marshall.
Pick Which Station You Want
After speaking with Woods, you’ll access the Acquisition Desk. Unlock a station and optionally redeem one Perk; you’ll need to earn cash to unlock additional stations.
