In Batman: Arkham Knight, the Line of Duty side-mission challenges players to track down the missing members of Gotham's Station 17 fire crew. Scattered across three main islands, these fifteen hostages are heavily guarded by dangerous groups of thugs and armed militia. Successfully rescuing every crew member is essential for achieving full game completion and unlocking the truth behind their mysterious disappearance.
Finding the Lost Crew Members on Bleake Island
Your search begins on Bleake Island, where the first few firefighters are held captive in highly hidden urban pockets. One crew member is trapped near the lighthouse at the northern edge, surrounded by a small group of brawlers. Another can be found under the bridge near the botanical gardens, requiring players to utilize silent takedowns to avoid alerting armed guards.
The remaining captives on this island are situated near the industrial shipyard and the local drainage pumping station. Checking these structures carefully using Detective Mode will reveal structural blind spots where thugs are holding their victims. Clearing out these localized threats ensures the immediate safety of the initial group of first responders.
Rescuing the Station 17 Personnel on Miagani Island
Miagani Island introduces a higher density of high-tech security systems and armed militia guarding the missing crew. You can spot a captive fireman tucked away inside an alcove beneath the iconic Wayne Tower structure. Another is trapped near the Grand Avenue rail station, which is monitored heavily by automated drone patrols and specialized martial arts enemies.
To safely navigate these encounters, Batman must deploy a mix of environmental fear multi-takedowns and defensive gadgets. For instance, using the Disruptor on firearms can quickly turn a lethal hostage situation into a manageable melee brawl. Locating these hidden operational pockets requires diligent tracking across the neon-lit rooftops and lower alleyways.
Clearing the Final Hostage Zones on Founders Island
Founders Island contains the most heavily fortified enemy camps, making the final phase of the rescue campaign exceptionally risky. Several firefighters are positioned near active construction zones and abandoned skyscrapers currently controlled by the Arkham Knight's private military force. These areas are filled with heavy brutes, detective mode scanners, and proximity landmines that restrict traditional movement paths.
One notable crew member is trapped inside a lower loading dock facility that requires careful remote hacking to entry safely. Another captive is located on the northern docks, completely surrounded by gun-tielding professionals who shoot on sight. Dismantling these complex strongholds demands absolute mechanical precision and tactical patience from players.
Confronting the Chief and Finalizing the Mission
Once all fifteen firefighters are safe, the Dark Knight receives coordinates to track down Chief Underhill. This leads to a dramatic narrative conclusion that exposes corporate corruption and personal betrayal within the emergency response network. Resolving this final objective rewards players with vital WayneTech upgrade points and completes the formal Gotham Most Wanted tracking file.
