We now know who was the one responsible for the fate of the farmers, and it is now your responsibility to take care of said character. However, things are easier said than done, and you will be met with several choices that will determine what type of Ranger you want to be moving forward. Here is how to complete The Hammer Falls quest in Starfield.

Ron Hope: Keep his secret, accept his bribe, or kill him?

After discovering that Ron Hope is the one responsible for commanding the First Cavalry and their evil plans while destroying the farmers’ lives. You will have to travel back to Hopetown (Polvo, Valo system) and confront him with the revelation and the proof given by Paxton Hull before we “unlived” him. This is The Hammer Falls, the last mission of the Freestar Collective questline. He will initially deny the accusation, but as soon as you show him the evidence, he will attempt to convince you to get him off the hook, promising that the scheme will end, and even offering a substantial “reward” for your efforts. You can choose to keep his secret, keep it while accepting his “reward”, or kill him due to his attacking after refusing to step down.

Starfield – The Hammer Falls: All choices

• Keep Ron Hope’s secret: you will accept Ron Hope’s promise to stop his scheme. This is the worst decision since it will yield the worst results.
• Accept his bribe: if you are willing to bend your morals to get Hope off the hook, you might as well accept his “reward” of 20,000 credits. Your companions will hate this, so make sure to leave them waiting before approaching Hope.
• Kill Ron Hope: if you are playing the good guy, then making Ron Hope pay is the only choice. Unfortunately, Ron will not go down without a fight, so you will have to end up killing him. Not being morally flexible will be seen positively by your companion.

After dealing with Ron Hope, you will have to travel back to Akila City and speak with Marshal Blake. Before you do that, be sure to talk to Birgit McDougall to do some role-playing. You will also learn about the successor to Hope: Elen Nwanko.

Next, go to Akila City. Marshal Blake will ask you about what went down during the first portion of The Hammer Falls quest. Depending on what was your previous choice, you will have to either lie to him or tell him what happened. Yes, that includes Ron Hope’s death.
