It’s not easy to survive the elements in Frostpunk 2. Of all the endings, the easiest is when you’re eliminated or the city falls in some cataclysmic way. But I imagine that’s not what you’re looking for. Here are all the successful endings in Frostpunk 2.
How to get all endings in Frostpunk 2
There are three types of successful endings in Frostpunk, depending on your decisions:
- Path of Reconciliation – you bring peace, and everyone loves you.
- Path of Removal – you expel rebel factions from the city.
- Way of Order – you rule as a dictator with rebel factions isolated in enclaves.
You can play the same as most of the game and still choose your path with slight modifications to your playstyle. But I offer you role play to make the endings more meaningful. For example, try to be a good guy all the time if you want a peaceful ending. This way you will challenge yourself to fight for ideals instead of choosing research and laws that simply make your game easier. The same happens for other paths, militant (Path of Order) or Machiavelistic (Path of Banishment).
Road of Reconciliation ending
Path of Reconciliation is the utopian ending in which everyone is happy. To achieve this, focus on making citizens happy and avoid anything that would lead to their suffering. Nurture their needs and give them freedom to do what they want.
Early game
- Focus on positive policy – Your goal is to have the best possible relationship with factions and colonies.
- Avoid aggressive laws and investigations – Avoid harsh policies that damage your reputation and relations with city factions.
- Focus on heat and food – This is given, but doubles as ensuring that the city has a stable supply of heat and food to avoid unrest and maintain morale.
Average game
- Maintain a positive approach in politics – Try to make everyone happy without using a harsh policy that punishes citizens.
- be a good guy – Make sure everyone has everything they need. Even with limited resources, do not use extreme measures that will cause people to suffer. Your goal is long-term benefit for citizens, not short-term economic boost.
- Balance your resources – Spread your investments so that all industries are at the same level of development to ensure that your citizens have everything they need for a beautiful post-apocalyptic life.
Late Game
- Focus on peace – Resolve factional hostilities civilly. It’s easier said than done, but avoiding bloodshed and war is the only way to achieve a happy ending.
- Maintain your reputation – You can only influence factions if they respect you. You need their goodwill to vote on laws to avoid civil war or end it quickly.
- Maintain a stable population – To make sure everything works as planned, make sure your city has a healthy and growing population with enough heat, food and goods.
Path of Deletion ending
To get to the Path of Banishment ending in Frostpunk 2, you’ll have to prioritize isolation and survival of the fittest while ignoring progress. You want to destroy everyone who does not want peace (kill, detain, expel).
Early Game
- Focus on maintaining a rule – Having a militia is always a good thing.
- Expand into Frostlands – Accept the snow and look for opportunities to expand. You will need a colony later when you decide to eliminate everyone who opposes you.
- Choose a favorite faction – Make one or two similar factions happy while ignoring others, because “you don’t like them.”
Middle Game
- Cheer on your favorite factions – Go with the flow, research and force laws they like.
- Avoid restlessness – Deal with a disturbance quickly by sending the police. This will lead to the decision to remove factions you don’t like.
endgame
- Maintain discipline in districts – You will also need prisons or open air detention to deal with those who oppose you.
- Deport all who oppose you to Windward Moor – End the war by sending losing factions to Windward Moor, where life is harsh (to put it mildly).
Path of Order ending
Path of Order is the most extreme path but also the most logical in this dystopian society. Instead of spreading democracy or evicting people you could use in factories, you will solve problems with a firm hand. You will become a dictator where everyone must listen to you, or else. They may not be as happy, but they will live.
Early Game
- Industrialize your economy – You need efficient industry at the expense of citizen happiness.
- Choose research types that improve efficiency – Your workforce in Frostpunk 2 mainly exists to improve the city. Ignore their demands for art or similar time-wasting ideas.
- Invest in security – Eliminate crime and all who oppose you.
Middle Game
- Control citizens – Lack of free will means security and order. Less fun and more work means no criminal activities and anti-Stewart ideas.
- Further improving industrialization – More mechanized factories mean more resources. Also, having robots patrol the streets will eliminate crime.
endgame
- Defeat all who oppose you – Build prisons and have Guard Squads to help you control districts and maintain order and an efficient society. This will help you end the Civil War effectively in New London.
- Become a Captain – Pass the Captain’s Authority law to gain absolute power. This will allow you to create enclaves where you will move all the factions that opposed your rule.
