Talk:Neutralize the Terrorist Leader

Consequences
There are a few ways that you can play this out.

Aggressive:

A. Take Zeke down. Act quickly and accurately and you can take him down and save the hostage.

B. Take Zeke down. Be a bit slow and you can take him down, but he will kill the hostage first.

I don't know what the payoff for this route is aside from the normal XPs.

Non-Aggressive:

A. You can let him walk out, but he takes the hostage with him. I've never gone this route, so I don't know whether he will eventually kill her or let her go of if there is a reward. I suspect you'll get the same reward from Zeke, but probably not from the hostage.

B. You can focus on the "Empathize" dialog options and eventually get him to let the hostage go and leave. There are two rewards for doing this. The semi-immediate payoff (aside from warm fuzzies from the hostage and her husband) will be that you will be able to get a decent discount on equipment from an arms dealer back in the city hub. The second (albeit delayed) payoff will be that Zeke will meet you later and give you a pocket secretary with some access codes that will help in a later mission.

In both of these cases you will need to deal with Sarif about your choice to let him go.

Ebook
I found another ebook (which gave me the scholar xp bonus) in front of the chamber where Zeke is. It was on the counter. I thought that this walkthrough contained all ebooks ;(

Loot
It might be worth noting, especially for stealth players, that after you deal with Zeke, the SWAT cops will have cleared the entire complex and you can freely back-track and pick up any loot you might have missed.
