Should you Kill or Spare Larry?
The Breaking the Bank mission is part of the Crimson Fleet storyline. Your primary target is GalBank executive Larry Dumbrosky. You need to get some information from him, which you can do by killing him. Or via an alternate method if you’d rather spare him.
But which is the better choice? Let’s discuss the pros and cons of each approach in detail below.
Kill
Rokov mentions at the start of the mission that there are aggression sensors throughout the entire ship. These sound alarms the moment you start fighting anyone inside the Spire of the Stars. As such, killing Larry immediately alerts the entire crew. Forcing you to fight your way out.
You’ll have to face wave upon wave of hostiles, including guards, the Trident staff, and several key characters. These make it very difficult to get back to your ship and the Crimson Fleet. Other than the crew’s backlash, killing Larry also marks you as a fugitive on the United Colonies’ most-wanted list.
And of course, GalBank will find out what’s going on and get ready to take you out. You’ll find Ecliptic Mercs inside the archive in the GalBank on New Atlantis.
Pros
- Quick and direct
Cons
- Makes escape and any side quests more challenging
- Marks you as a fugitive on the United Colonies’ most-wanted list
Spare
If you decide not to kill Larry Dumbrosky, you’ll need to take a more diplomatic, negotiation-based path. This is the best choice if you don’t align with the Crimson Fleet’s ideals and would rather not be declared a fugitive by the United Colonies.
To get the necessary information without killing Larry, you’ll first need to speak to the charity guests in the ballroom. You’ll learn about Larry’s affair with a woman named Klaudia Swist. Persuade or pay Klaudia to reveal her, Larry, and Gabriel Vera’s scheme to defraud GalBank for cash. She doesn’t have evidence, but Gabriel will.
Speak to Vera back in the ballroom. He’ll threaten you into leaving. Rokov will inform you of a plan to make it seem like life support has gone critical, setting up a ship-wide emergency. For this, you’ll need to pay or persuade Chief Engineer Sardin near the life support. Once he lets you in, flip three switches to force everyone, including Vera, into their cabins.
Approach Vera again, and he’ll give you the incriminating evidence. Give this evidence to Larry in exchange for the GalBank credentials. You may still find Ecliptic Mercs in the GalBank archives, but you can make quick work of them.
Pros
- Doesn’t get you declared a fugitive by the United Colonies
- Great for those who dislike conflict
Cons
- Much longer and more complicated
Conclusion
In the end, killing or sparing Larry is completely your choice. We hope this guide on Should you Kill or Spare Larry in Starfield Breaking the Bank Mission helps. As always, happy gaming!
