Depending on some of your previous choices, different characters may show up for the final decision, but it still retains the same binary choice. Dying Light 2 has many such choices that influence the final outcome, but none are arguable more important. So, for a walkthrough of the Dying Light 2 save Lawan or detonate bombs choice, we've got you covered.

Most of the X-13 quest is linear, but there will be some minor differences depending on past choices. If during the Dying Light 2 kill or save Hakon choice, you choose the former, he will not appear in the final mission, but the latter will ensure he shows up to help. If you follow the Juan route during the story by selecting him in the Dying Light 2 Jack Matt, Juan, or Frank decision, then Hakon will appear to ambush you in the X-13 facility, before changing his mind which results in yourself and Lawan helping him.

Throughout the mission, you have to make your way through the X-13 facility, fighting Renegades under Waltz command and the occasional group of infected. Before long, you find Waltz and your sister, before commencing a boss fight with him that ends with you both trying to save your sister. Waltz says he plans to launch the missiles at the city to ultimately save even more people, including your sister. Lawan also radios to inform you she has found the missiles and a means of destroying them, which is when the final choice comes into play.

If you let Lawan destroy the bombs, you will try to escape from the facility with your sister as Waltz dies. You make it in time, and if Hakon is still alive in your playthrough - either by sparing him during the Dying Light 2 kill or spare Hakon choice, or siding with Juan in Broadcast - then he will help her escape in time. The city is saved, and the Survivors, Peacekeepers, or Juan will rule over it depending on your choice during the Dying Light 2 Jack Matt, Juan, or Frank, during the Broadcast quest.

Choosing instead to save Lawan, will trigger a timed objective, and you need to reach her within two minutes. Once you get there, you nearly lose control and turn into a zombie, buy you managed to hold yourself together, and jump out of the base with Lawan on your shoulder. The city is of course destroyed, and the majority of the population is left dead, with the remaining groups of people in tatters. Aiden once again leaves the city, but instead on his own.
