Make a Manual Backup Save During Main Job 10: Firestarter

The decisions leading up to the Firestarter mission hold no sway over the DLC’s final outcome. It’s during the Firestarter mission itself that you wield the power to shape the DLC’s multiple endings. To ensure a seamless process for unlocking all endings, create a manual save at the Follow Songbird objective of the Firestarter mission. This proactive step allows you to reload and explore various endings without the hassle of replaying most of the DLC.
