Saying that Charlie Montague fromDeathloopis a troubled individual is putting it mildly. He’s obsessed with creating an interactive sci-fi experience, hopelessly in love with and concerned about another visionary, and it’s unclear, even to himself, why he signed up to be part of the loop.

Oh, and part of his brain is inside of a computer he created that recognizes events without forgetting anything when the loop resets. The poor kid doesn’t have it together and Colt exploits more than one of his flaws to beatDeathloop. One of these flaws, in particular, makes getting rid of him a snap.
How To Kill Charlie At First
RELATED:Deathloop: The Biggest Fixes The Game Needs
Charlie is hiding out at the makeshift tourist attraction called Condition Detachment. It’s like a sci-fi haunted house. Players eager to skip battling most of Charlie’s minions canuse the Shift slab to get to the top, but fighting through it isn’t all the difficult. There are lots of health stations and ammo to pick up along the way.
Unless players have taken a few lickscombating at enemy Juliana, they’ll arrive at the top without much trouble. Charlie has a bunch of laser mines surrounding his small shack, which can be disabled stealthily or loudly(it won’t matter). Once entering the door, Carlie will automatically run into the Condition Detachment attraction, even if he never sees Colt.
His Shift slab makes him dart all over the house, going between floors rapidly. Fighting him is a fool’s errand so make it easy on Colt byhacking the turrets in his shack without opening the door. He’s no match for these automated weapons and his Shift slab won’t help him here.
The Best Way To Kill Charlie
By completing the “Afternoon Delight” visionary lead, Charlie becomes much easier to kill. Even better, he’ll be with another visionary who is, herself, also much easier to kill with this method.Head to the underground bunker but do not pick up any residuum or special weapons along the way.
After entering the code, Colt will see the two lovebirds talking about Fia’s drug problem. Both are powerful and both have their slabs fully functional, so it’s best to avoid engaging them directly. Instead, stealthily climb to the top of the area andpull the lever in the control room.
This will flood the area, killing both visionaries. As a player, it’s possible to escape, butif Colt dies in the flood, he’ll be returned to safety at the front of the bunker. Now it’s safe for Colt to pick up any residuum or special weapons since he won’t have lost anything in the flood.
