While playing through Quantum Break, you’ll come across points in the story known as Junctions at the ends of Act 1-4. These Junctions task players with making a choice as Paul Serene that will alter the story going forward. These Quantum Break choices can really lead to anything within the story. Some characters will live and die, new plot twists will emerge, collectibles change, and new scenes appear in the live action episodes between the Acts.
It’s hard to make a decision not knowing what ripples your actions will send through time. Perhaps you want to ensure the life of a specific character, or maybe you just want to ensure someone finds happiness. Making the wrong move can put all of that to an end.
To help you manage time without any headaches, we’ve put together the Junction choices for you. Now you’ll know exactly what to expect as time bends to your whim.
Warning: There are Quantum Break story spoilers ahead!
All Quantum Break Junction Choices
Act 1
You have activated the time machine for what you believe is the first time. This triggers a series of events that propel the story towards the end of time as we know it. Paul, ever vigilant in his mission to prepare for the end, must deal with the mayhem that ensues. His adviser, Martin Hatch, presents him with two options, both of which have serious consequences for those involved.
Hardline
Choosing Hardline means Monarch will deal with the problem using an iron fist. All opposition will be silenced during this militant approach. Riots will break out, and the companies image will be tarnished, but Paul will be able to proceed without wondering if things will go awry. Going this route means Amy Ferraro, the girl who organized the protesters at the college, will die. She’s an interesting character and is very tech savvy (which can provide Jack Joyce with quite a bit of information later on). This option also presents Hatch with a bit of leeway later on.
PR
This is the more soft approach, yet it allows for Monarch to maintain its image after everything that went down. Choosing this means Amy won’t die and will join Jack Joyce on his mission. However, she will be forced to make a statement on national TV against Jack making him a target everywhere he goes. Monarch will be allowed to moved much more freely, making Jack and Beth’s job a little tougher going forward.
